    This thread could have gone in interesting websites, but since it directly pertains to folding@home I mentally flipped a coin and put it here instead. Try this out for size.

    "If you are the proud owner of a Sony PlayStation 3, or are considering purchasing one, keep in mind that your acquisition is much more than an expensive game console. In addition to playing “Dragon Ball Z” with the latest and best graphics, your PlayStation can also aid in the fight against some of the most debilitating diseases known to humankind."

    Sounds like a not so cheating way of gaining points, if someone were interested.

    This is totally cool. I love how 1.6 comes bundled with the client - that should really add some oomph to the cause :)

    If you have a PS3 and want to join the team ;) then go to the XMB menu, click the folding icon. Then press triangle to setup the name and team.
