i'm thinking of starting a team, but i don't know how many of my friends are interested... does anyone want to create a Tom's Hardware team?

in case you didn't read the article this is a project similar to SETI@home that IBM is hosting as an extension of the Human Genome Project. basically you install this program and run it either 24/7, as a screen saver or you can customize times for it to run. the purpose is to analyze human proteins to help find cures for diseases like cancer, AIDS, malaria and things like that.

It would be a good way of analysing the mysterious noxious fluids that drip from my foul genitals.

Not for the poor sod who'll be doing the analysis.

Alternatively, we could sit and analyse the point of the existince of places such as Wales.

Come on, that's no justification for an armpit like Wales. Nor does it explain the need for Welsh people [/queasy]

OK, fair point.

Well, I suppose it's a useful place to shove the slag heaps from the coal mines. Plus a few taffies might get buried underneath, so there's an added bonus.

Heh-heh, not SoD, but sod. It's a slang term used over here, a derogitory term, like "you silly sod". Also considered a minor swear word.

That's one term that's derogatory no matter how you use it. Well, other than talking about grass.

You seem to be mistaken. Wales is not a country, it is a Scouse caravan park. Tell a Taff that and they go mental, I know, I do at every chance I get.
