I came to read up this article ...

Gamers solve decade old HIV puzzle in ten days in ZME Science
about this game ...
Foldit (official site)

I find it great that gamers can contribute much to sciences.
And I'm proud of the fellow gamers that solved this decade old puzzle of proteins in less than ten days.

I never played Foldit, but I have respect for the gamers that did.

How gamers can contribute to sciences isn't very new.
I my self have contribute a bit of my CPU here and there to the SETI@home project. (on wiki)
Please be fair to biologists that didn't solve what gamers could out of curiosity or the fun to solve puzzles.

I thought I post it here so you can have your opinion on this.
