Why Folding@Home?

Why Folding@Home instead of other distributed computing projects? Because Folding@Home has produced more results than other projects. It can at the end help save lives, by finding cures to diseases. It might actually save your life later, in contrast to other distributed computing projects that check if there are aliens, crack mathematical algorithms or forecast what the climate will be when you've passed away for a long time already (maybe because of a disease which Folding@Home could provide cures to).
