    Seti@home

    I reckon I'm not the only one here who uses it, or has used it over the years.

    LOL - forgot about this - years ago I had every computer in a pharmacy I used to work in running Seti @ home - had some huge stats because they would all be churning away 24hrs a day 7 days a week.... Will have to get it going on the computers at work - maybe even on our server - nothing like some Quad Core unit processing!!!!

    wtf is it??????
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    It uses spare CPU time to "decode" "jobs" sent to your computer via the Seti@home server. Main information page is here http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/.

    You need a client program developed by the university called BOINC. Once this is on the computer or computers, it downloads jobs from the Seti server and when your screensaver starts, the action begins.

    It's run by Berkeley University in California.

    As there is some people who are iffy about this kind of stuff, no it isn't Spam or Spyware and no it doesn't burn your bandwidth from your internet connection.
