My point is that there are people out there running all day and getting nothing for it and it is costing them as much or more than something like Xbox Livedontcare5454

So from what you have stated, if I bought a pink breast cancer ribbon or a live strong wrist band that I got ripped off and am getting nothing from it?

Folding@home is a rip off for the consumer if you think of the electricity costs read the following:

Based on my calculations if anyone was running folding@home for 8 hours a day based on it taking 200 Watts per hour (see:Site)
and using current cost figures from Puget Sound Energy (www.pse.com) at 0.092492 per k Watt

The calculation would be as follows

200(watts) x 8(hours) x 7(days) x 52(weeks) / 1000(to get k watts) x 0.092492(current electricity cost per k Watt in Washington State) = $53.87USD a Year

and if you calculate $53.87USD x 40,000(Average amount of full time contributing) it equals $2,154,693.63USD out of the consumers pocket. And that does not include over use on the system.dontcare5454

and yet the meds for the diseases that can potentially be cured if not understood more are any cheaper.

me too.  Because then it would be hard to understand what you said(typed)*.

*I am in no way trying to pick a fight or demean anyone.  You mearly left yourself open for a quick joke and I was very bored at the time of this post, so I instinctivly typed a smart ass remark.  So please don't take it wrong.

I think the true purpose of home is not only for players to socialize, but also for Sony to pull in a valuable source of revenue.  Not only will they make money from people who buy stuff from home, but from large companies who want to advertise within Home.  I'm very excited about this for the PSN, as it'll be a way to keep it free.Mud_Buttler

BINGO.  Good eye.
