Been looking for the cure for cancer, mostly spent growing bacteria then staring down microscopes and poring over spectroscopy readings watching what they produced and did. Sadly after four years (1 year MSc then 3 years PhD) we're no closer, though we did discover a new antihistamine compound purely by chance, so not a complete failure.

It certainly sounds like you nailed the whole "original contribution to the body of knowledge" thing...

Here's hoping future research is as fruitful! (Do you need a BOINC project?) ;-)

BTW... WINNING!

welcome back! winning...

Yeah well I'm slowly building a water cooled PC, problem is I have to see if I can fit 6 gtx295 cards, I have 4 Koolance and 2 Bitspower and I'm not sure about whether the Bitspower cards will fit in only 1 slot each, The Koolance cards will, If not, then I'd need to get an EVGA Classified X58 motherboard with 7 pci-e slots and cpu, and sell the EVGA P55 Classified 200 motherboard and a cpu.
