The gang over at SETI without a doubt have 100′s of thousands of computers using non utilized CPU cycles to look for ET. Now a scientist is using the same technology to give him more processing power than all of the super computers in the entire world.
In my opinion if I new my non utilized processor power is going to be used to help mankind I would gladly donate my time to that endeavor versus looking for ET. [Smart Mobs]
There are alot better ways to use your computers idle time then Folding@Home. I’ve been working with a project located at http://www.find-a-drug.org/ and it’s a small project, but we’ve made some good discoveries against AIDs, Cancer, Smallpox, Malaria, and so forth. =)
