why are so many people trying to make this news negative? is it because its on the ps3? This is clearly a good thing so why cant people accept it and give a well done to all the work.

because I bet that this research will end in nothing.

 

not because I don't want a cure...

but because this is only a big spot.

and ok.

but when they make a spot on sorrow of people dying right now...

what means a "decade"????????

did they consider new cpus coming next year????

can they prove this "decade"??????

which numbers they showed to prove this petaflop????? 



 Dude, you don't have to be such an ass. This really isn't about "OMGodz teh cell!", it's about progress being made. Can we cut out the console wars for a minute

Being a 3rd year chemistry major wanting to go into pharmacology, I can really appreciate this progress. It's just too bad that some people really can't.

It was never really about curing cancer or finding a cure to alzheimer's. Protein folding is one of the biggest mysteries to biologists/chemists everywhere. There are so many forces here and there it's nearly impossible for  a handful of researchers to ever do these calculations even if they had 10 generations to do it.

How come some of you can't appreciate this? 

And what the hell is a "big spot"?
