PaperCut NG

PaperCut Software

4 (514)

This application is fundamental for organizations and entities who have a computer network with a high level of users and wish to control how much the Internet and printing services are used. PaperCut NG allows us set limits to the time spent browsing the net and printing documents. The program admin sets a given number of credits to each user which will be used according to their actions. Credit loss will be greater depending on the number of pages that are printed, the paper size and the format of the page (black and white or color). Variables like connection time and the amount of downloaded megabytes will be used to determine credit loss. When a user spends all their credit, they are not allowed to access the Internet or the printing service. The program can be used to monitor both activities or only one of them, without affecting the other. It requires that a system works as a proxy server and another server for printing in your local network.

Folding Home

Folding@home

In 2000, Professor Vijay Pande set up the Folding@home project to study the cause of cancers and other cell-based illnesses. He is studying how proteins are assembled and the effect that this has on the body. By that way he hopes to one day understand how the cell mutations that eventually lead to cancer ocurr, and develop a preventative therapy or a vaccine. If you used only your computer, it would take an entire day to simulate just a nanosecond in the life of a folding protein. That's why they developed Folding@Home project, which uses thousands of thousands of computers and new generation consoles from across the world, adding up the speed an processing power of all those machines. If you install Folding@home (also know as Folding at home), you'll help to investigate when your computer is not being used. In fact the power of the Folding@home project is nowadays bigger than all of the supercomputers in the world put together. You will not notice than Folding Home is installed in your computer, but if you want to see it, you can see how the process is taking place and know how much you have helped. It's great, now you can help investigators to cure cancer even if do not know anything about computers or chemistry.
