A protein folding research project done on a donated cpu-time basis,
like the seti @ home project. you volunteer your cpu's idle cycles,
download their stuff and it runs like a screensaver

Jargon file, abrgd.: The September that never ended. On the Internet,
every September's freshmen influx got their first accounts and, not
knowing how to post/email, always made a nuisance of themselves. Usually
they were trained in a few months. But in September 1993, AOL users
became able to post, overwhelming the capacity to acculturate them; to
those who recall the period before, this triggered a decline in the
quality of online communications. Syn. eternal September.
