How cynical can you get before you just spontaneously explode in a fireball of distrust and negativity? This is a great project! Even if it doesn't lead to good results it still helps raise awareness and get people interested in what is otherwise an abstract and hard to understand topic. "make shit tons of monney[sic]"?? Are you fucking out of your mind? No one goes after a Nobel prize for sake of making a profit. Want to take a look at the masterminds behind this one: http://depts.washington.edu/bakerpg/ and http://www.cs.washington.edu/ARL/ Yea, they sure look like they are rolling in the green from all the people they have scammed into science with their 'higher education'. | ||

If you have time to waste ,and love playing that puzzle game, then by all means help them but I doubt your contribution will hardly have any impact. Its like looking for jesus amongst the living, the chosen one who can solve protein paterns with his amazing brain. You might as well go give your blood and save the life of dozens of people with a single donation. And why the fuck not? There are billions of people out there. If it is true that there is one person out there who can handle this, then why not? How about donating blood AND supporting this program. | ||
