Fight Cancer: The Screensaver
This is something i've started running at work, now that I have a beefy enough CPU to actually make a dent in the kind of workload they have.
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project trying to research protein folding. When proteins misfold, you end up with diseases like Mad Cow, or memories like Regan's.
So if you've got the CPU cycles to spare, give it a shot. It helps science.
My computer at home is too slow to do this and make any difference. And I'm using all my cycles right now to compile an AIM bot.
