It's a noble cause, but I refuse to let my computer do work that might
make
some drug company Billions of dollars.  So I just do SETI.  Just my
opinion.


    I wish I could disagree but I can't. The drug companies make a fortune
off misery. If a simple and cheap cure was found tomorrow I have no doubt
they would do all they could to discredit it. I feel I need to help look for
better drugs even if they make disgusting profits from them.
    My friend is just 39 and for now has an undetectable viral load. He told
me it causes him endles worry that one day the drugs he takes now will stop
working. If my computer can help find a drug that will allow him and all
others to remain healthy for another ten years I am will to help the drug
companies. It sickens me to do so but what choice is there
