Default Online Gamers Crack AIDS Enzyme Puzzle

"Online gamers have achieved a feat beyond the realm of Second Life or Dungeons and Dragons (They should've said "World of Warcraft," but I won't hold it against them): they have deciphered the structure of an enzyme of an AIDS-like virus that had thwarted scientists for a decade."

Between this and Netflix, ahem, Qwickster going into the gaming business. Gamers are hogging all the headlines.

Now, that we got AIDS beat, I'm going to fix the cancer problem and then get back to Zelda.
