[extropy-chat] Folding at Home is a hog...

[Emlyn]

I'm a bit sad to have removed folding at home from my notebook, but there
is an upside - I think this machine is not supposed to run on 100% cpu
all day every day. The thing would scream (fan on ultra mega speed)
and heat right up anyway. Now it doesn't do that :-)
