Assuming Folding@home is always running when your computer is on, then it's a matter of power supply wattage*amount of time Folding@home runs.
If you have a 1000 watt power supply (assuming it doesn't go into a stand-by or power saver mode), you are always drawing 1000 watts from your wall when you are running your computer. Your computer may not use all 1000 watts, but it's still drawing that much into the PSU.
Let's just hope that Futurama remains ahead of it's time. When the show originally aired back in 1999, it was far ahead of the pack as far as comedy goes, and it still remains my favorite show of all time. I dare say, it's even better than the Simpsons (and I have friends who back me up on this point).
Anyway, it's been six years since we've gotten any new material (other than the movies, which I haven't seen). Does anyone really think the writers will be able to top what was once so profound (yes, I am calling Futurama profound)? The social commentary was biting and harsh, but still hilarious. Does anyone really think they can bring back the same feeling?
I guess I'm just hoping the show doesn't just devolve into another Family Guy. I'm also afraid that my favorite show will be ruined by these new episodes, if they do indeed start the show up again.
I know plenty of "stupid" people with rather successful careers doing electrical work, carpentry, plumbing, and factory labor and they make more than I do as a degreed child behavioral worker. You don't need a degree to succeed in this country, if you have work ethic and a good market for your skills. Formal academic education may help some of us, but it can't possibly provide jobs for all of us. Success is never a given and basing success on your level of education is aristocratic BS.
Let me point you to a quote from the good Albert Einstein:
'If I give you a pfennig, you will be one pfennig richer and I'll be one pfennig poorer. But if I give you an idea, you will have a new idea, but I shall still have it, too.'
There's no stealing when the source material isn't taken away from the owner.
Pirating software should be a crime, but it should never be equated to stealing.
So what you're saying is that you've figured out how to keep your PC running WITHOUT power?
Why are we still driving gas-powered vehicles?
Somebody get this man to Washington!
Also, keep in mind that the numbers you are citing from that study are the absolutes, not the averages, at least for mental decline.
Of the 2000 or so sampled in the study, 27 was the absolute youngest they saw the earliest signs of mental decline.
Not to mention, it also showed that the average person's memory didn't begin to decline, again, at the earliest, until the late 30's, and accumulated knowledge didn't begin to dissipate until the subjects were well into their 60's.
To make a long story short, don't believe everything you read, and if you intend to anyway, at least read between the lines a bit, will you?
Whenever I have mod points, I take an objective lurking standpoint - I read every post objectively (because I have no real stake either way in most conversations to begin with), and moderate objectively (to the best of my ability, anyway).
Of course, not everyone can be 100% objective, 100% of the time, but I do my best, because I has integrity.
It's a decent site, and I was shocked when they pimped it during the SuperBowl. Free and legal streaming of a lot of TV and a some movies.
You'd be less shocked if you realized that Hulu is owned by News Corp. and NBC Universal - NBC, of course, being the Super Bowl broadcaster for XLIII. It's not as if it cost them any money to run an ad on their own station.
My buddy has the original LoTR strategy game. We spent four hours setting it up once, only to realize we were missing one quarter of the pieces.
We considered making them ourselves, but we ended up shoving the whole thing back in the box and decided it would be better if we never touched that game ever again.

Total whoosh.
Whoosh.

Sounds like you need some marijuana.
I wish this were real.

Someone give this one a medal.

Wow. You're clueless, huh?
Correction: The end of the Universe. And actually, I got my reservations last week.
Actually, we knew the question, too. What do you get if you multiply six by nine?
No. This is a GG Allin song. Get it right.

BABY. PLURAL: BABIES.
If you're already going to buy it, why would you need to see an ad for it?
But imagine all the revenue they got from Hulu advertisers when millions of people suddenly learned of a great FREE way to watch their favorite shows!

You mean games will make a bigger profit with a Steam games store type platform, right?
AHAHAHAHAHA. good one.
But how many hats?
Haha, you called his Mac a gay vegetarian.
I suppose they'll call it the People's Operating System. POS, for short.
