"Video-game players have solved a molecular puzzle that stumped scientists for years, and those scientists say the accomplishment could point the way to crowdsourced cures for AIDS and other diseases."

And this surprises them how?

Ya, and many ignorant people still like to think video games are nothing but a waste of time. This news definitely brings a smile to my face as a fellow gamer.

no offense, but....if we cure AIDS (eventually) we will just have a bunch of prostitutes and rapists who arent afraid of having sex. AIDS has its good qualities too >:O

Better to get rid of AIDS in the end though, seriously if it's one or the other I would prefer a world without AIDS or HIV.

>>3 That is terrible. You can't force your morals on to others. Every life and view point is valid. You don't get to decide what is right for everyone. AIDS hasn't stemmed the tied of premarital sex. All that has happened is now tons of people are dying and suffering through a horrible disease.

>>3 Lol, say that when you have AIDS yourself.

>>3 Kaori says and I quote, "AIDS has its GOOD qualities too."

Very interesting, just what might those "GOOD" qualities be? lolz

>>7 Death of love ones, despair of the ones left - clearly GOOD qualities.

You know, this proves that innovation doesn't come from a senseless pursuit of profits, but rather an overall wish to better everyone's life... and a little recognition. Sorry for the random rant, but I hate it when corporate elitists keep saying that if it wasn't for money, we'd still be in the stone ages, this is a classic argument to their contrary.
