Don't waste your time...

After you download and load the software, it tells you that they don't actually want any more volunteers.

@Just asking

Are you real? Or a robot, cause if you were real person, you would have stayed a bit and thought about, before posting stupid questions.
But you must be a robot like many others out there, that likes "progress" for the benefit of humankind, hoping for cures, that came from the same people that give the disease.

Better shut up and think a bit next time you ask idiotic questions. Or you prefer to have a veil on your eyes and turn your head pretending you can't see the world you are live into.

@error

You're obviously more enlightened than most but please could you answer a few questions just to put things in context?

1) Which country are you from?
2) Are you over 50?
3) Did the god create everything or was Darwin on to something?
4) Have you or your family ever taken medication, things like aspirin or antibiotics?
5) Are you seriously that stupid?

Thanks in advance :)

help for cancer?

if super computing is possible for this, then surely it must be possible for use in calculations in areas such as cancer research? and if so how do we start..

funny..

Error seems to be a Simpleton or Village Idiot. Can't see past the end of his/her nose.

Milliard is the correct traditional British English term for 'thousand million' as well. And British English billions were traditionally a million million. That's the one place where they do it bigger in the UK than the USA!!

Sadly, the American English seems to have become the standard now, with their puny billions and tiny trillions etc.

@Indeed

You are the ignorant one. It's because of you and other ignorant persons, the world is as bad as it is now.
So what if application is for "humankind evolution", this is bullsh..t, wasted money. Scientists would better find new ways to recycle resources, soon we will eat each other, and it's not a joke.
You are the one that has no idea what's going on in this world, you are brainwashed and happy with it, as long as you have a home to stay in and a job. You are cattle, a sheep that likes to dance as the shepherd sings.

Enjoy while it lasts....

Go Cern!

@Error Pff yeah, what has science ever done for world hunger? Oh wait.... Quite a lot.

@Eumel That post made me lol so hard xD, although I have a feeling you mean Billions, I know in Danish it's "Milliard".

AAA science in the EU

Actually, we invested milliards of Euros in CERN. We invest even more in other science projects in the EU. And that is good for the EU.

LOL USAA+

@ Error: you must be indeed a very ignorant person. Of course I'm not surprised you have no idea what's all about and what applications it enables.

Instead finding ways for world hunger

they invest millions of dollars into useless equipment to smash atoms.
Nice world we live into......
What next?

heh

it's already awfully hot under the table, unsure if i can kiss my fatherhood goodbye... oh well bacon and boiled eggs anyone?

I'm also afraid this application will create a black hole, or worse, give mass to the particles of my PC slowing it down
