| Do you
really care about people suffering from
AIDS, Alzheimer's, childhood diseases, cancer, diabetes,
epilepsy, flu, malaria, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy,
leukemia, lupus, lyme disease, Parkinson's, SARS (Severe Acute
Respiratory
Syndrome), or
many other illnesses? Diseases
of every nature are everyone's problem
whether you know someone who is sick or not, ... and chances are great
that
you or someone you love either has or will be affected by one.
Now you can
help do something about it by donating your
computer's spare
power, that is now being wasted, to the WCG
(World
Community Grid) --
an IBM
project for
medical research -- and it won't take much
more than a few minutes of your time to get started. The WCG is non-profit and supported by
many of the world's most reputable institutions including the American
Cancer Society,
United Way, the Mayo Clinic, the World Health Organization, the United
Nations, and many others. Most of the time computers use only
5% to 10% of their power cycles and the rest are just wasted, ... so why not put
them to good use by joining a grid computing network to benefit all of
mankind. Also
known as "distributed computing", grid computing is a very legitimate,
proven concept, which has
been in use for over ten years and is supported by many large corporations, colleges, universities,
grammar/high schools, and even the Boy
Scouts and the city government of
Austin,
Texas. Many are actually partners
with the WCG. If skeptical, do a
web-search
for "grid computing" or
"distributed computing" and you will find all sorts of articles to
assure yourself of the safety and merits of these projects; these
articles from ComputerWorld, the New York Times, PC World, USA
Today, and PC World
(2nd article) explain
grid computing, the WCG, and IBM's
involvement. The New York Times
has a second article about a new WCG project: the
hunt for super rice -- something crucial for today's growing food
shortages. Please take
the time to play the short informative videos and podcasts below
and on the right to find out how safely and securely you can help the
world. |
