It's a very bad idea to take something you don't understand and assume
the worst.

If you were behind this initiative, I'd already have decided not to
join. Your attitude is one I've seen in plenty of voluntary work. If
those people don't leave, other volunteers do.

True, I think I should had specified that was only resource wise.

My mistake, non-native English "speacker" here, you would find I make
errors on my post because of this, I eventually find them myself and I
try to self-correct me, but eventually will happen. Thanks for the
correction tho.

I don't understand that expression, you mean I should calm down? well it
has a degree of irritation that SOMEBODY writes/speaks something he
doesn't know and starts assuming too much and finally based on those
false assumptions saying, "is wrong/bad", don't you think?

It used to be, when they first came out. Nowadays they've gotten better, and
it's only a couple of minutes, or even close to instant.
I remember my wife calling me (when working from home) asking me to turn on
the kitchen lights when she left work, so we could see to cook when she got
home. :-)

It means you've dug a hole that you're stuck inside, and you're continuing
to dig, hence making the situation worse for yourself.
The implication is that you're trying to solve the problem in a way that's
making the problem worse for yourself. (I.e., if you insult someone while
asking for charity, then insult them again when they point it out, you're
making it less likely you'll get the charity.)

While that might be the case, distributed computing for helping companies
patent drugs that will be milked for maximum profit doesn't seem to helpful.
Contributing cycles to help Monsanto create seeds that they then charge poor
farmers for having blown into their field doesn't make much sense to me.
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/projects_showcase/archives/fgc/viewFgcResults.do
and the other result pages from the other completed projects lets me know
that the raw data isn't released to the public in any sort of timely way,
which tells me it's going to be used primarily for the benefit of humanity,
but primarily for the benefit of the researchers.
The Human Proteome Folding bit was about the only piece where they're
actually showing any results to the general public.
> thought since most is in the website and the res on the forums, well...
Nobody wants to spend an hour going thru the web site in order to give
charity. You're asking for people to give something without getting anything
personal in return, then making it difficult for people to find answers to
their questions about the process.

The results are "open source" for the scientific/research community
freely as the website states somewhere, this maybe means the public.
Injustice unfortunately will always be present on everything so, if some
people take unfair advantage is no reason to stop doing non-profit and
other altruistic efforts, all the contrary, "kill" them with love. :-D
