hey,
i'm sure you all know about the power of distrubited computing, no doubt we've all heard of Seti@home well i found another one but it has a really practical purpose - cure cancer! it looks really cool - you see the computer working in a graphical way, and there's prizes to be won. There's a message board, teams and best of all it is all for a good cause - cure cancer. Also, profits from advertising go to the Starlight Childrens Foundation. This is a very worthy project to run on your computer, at the least read up on it caus there's so many good things about this. It never interferes with your work as it is run at low priority, so it only uses up SPARE resources, you won't notice it's running. The project is supported by INTEL and OXFORD UNIVERSITY and THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH


Here is a screenshot of the program
