HIV research - from wester to easter ... ?

Very simple... it will not run on my system (or my gf's). Been there, checked into it, it's impossible.I find this an interesting venture and I applaud all those doing so that can. One should be careful not to assume those that don't have less than a good reason.Another reason others may have is an edge of paranoia about running someone else's programs on your own system. In the age of Bush's free reign Orwellian spy machine, that would not be inconceivable.Since I can't run it, I didn't probe further but I am curious... is there any sense that this data is double checked? This is the age of hackers who like nothing more than to screw things up. What is to prevent a hacker from screwing with science by creating plausible but wholly false results (during or after processing)?

I don't want to get into a description of my system, let me just say the message from them was that it is not possible at this time.I'm not much of a computer guy and the last time I had someone here try and talk me through something that was plainly possible I still didn't get it right. So I don't really want to spend time trying to jerry-rig something already said will not work.Apparently people there are working on (at some point?) creating something I can use, but my guess is it is more likely I'll buy a computer that can use what they already have before then.(Edit to correct spelling)This message has been edited by holmes, 01-04-2006 09:52 AM
