And Done. A big hand to World Community Grid as the tireless host and sponsor in gelling it all together and the scientists who are putting trust in the hundreds of thousands of volunteers to complete their computational research in the speediest possible fashion for cures and a clean environment, and now clean water too. Congratulations and on to the full Billion results. We can do it. Sekerob and everyone... We appreciate you and everyone who crunches dillegently. This milestone is but one of the steps toward finding a significant remedy for some human affliction. We hope that day happens soon. Thank you everyone for your part in helping to reach today's significant milestone.  We added the information about this milestone to the News & Update section and the home page. BTW, the number of results has really accelarated in the last 12 months. Here's the breakdown of prior milestones: November, 2004: Started World Community Grid July, 2007: 100,000 Results August 2008: 200,000 Results July, 2009: 300,000 Results March, 2010: 400,000 Results September, 2010: 500,000 Results. So in theory we should be at 1 Billion in 2.5 years? |

I believe his numbers are missing a set of zeroes.

Good eyes Sgt.Joe. I read it this morning and didn't even notice. Neither did I. 3 zeroes make a big difference.  |
