Shut Up And Change The World
Or at least do it while your computer's doing nothing.

Google also runs something like this. It's called Google Compute and it uses unused computer time to work on scientific problems. Right now it's doing something about protein research.

Wouldn't it be better to help solve the computing ones first and then use them to solve the current processor intensive things. Just my 'lil' thought for the day
 I used to run that seti@home thing but it got annoying chugging along in the back ground, sometimes cause a process missfire and caused it to crash. I wouldn't mind so much but when it was running on win 98 and 2000 which a crash normally caused all of windows to crash. So now i don't bother with them they turn out to be more problems then a help for me. That may be selfish of me but i bought this computer so isn't it my right
