Dungeoneers for Rosetta@home. Because sometimes a Cure Disease spell just doesn't cut it.

“Rosetta@home needs your help to determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. By running the Rosetta program on your computer while you don't need it you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. You will also be helping our efforts at designing new proteins to fight diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Cancer, and Alzheimer’s... Rosetta@home is not for profit."

I’ve set up a team at Rosetta@home called “OSR Dungeoneers” - If you’d like to join me in donating your computer’s spare CPU cycles, please download BOINC, add the Rosetta@home project (and join the team if you’d like to collaborate and track the team’s progress). BOINC runs on Windows, Intel OS X, and Linux. If you prefer, you can easily adjust the settings so the program only runs when your computer is idle.

I changed the team name to just "Dungeoneers" - I don't want to alienate anyone from a good cause like this over something as silly as a label like "OSR".

Updated 12-20-2010:
Please note that Rosetta@home has largely discontinued support for PowerPC CPUs, so don't bother signing up if you're running an older Mac with a G3, G4, or G5 processor...

Also: If you're a linux user, you may want to install using the downloadable shell script from the main BOINC website rather than using a software manager like Synaptic Package Manager. Depending on your repositories, an older version may not work properly, whereas the shell script will provide you with the latest version.
