some of you are already doing this, others aren't, for those that aren't i'm asking them to join.
your computer @home isn't always in use, but its still activeted. so what better way to use it, then to let your computer work for sience.
you go to here http://boinc.berkeley.edu and you download and install the software (after reading the guidelines and stuff).
then you can participate in one of the 5 projects (note: LHC is currently down). you just make an account on the site of the project, customize the settings and there you go.
R&D&sience costs alot of money, and they need alot of computing power to calculate stuff. a supercomputer could do the trick, but that is very expencive for privately funded reachers.
so BOINC developed software that people with a computer could share it to sience. whats the point of having a computer doing nothing? nothing right. so its a win win situation, instead of letting your computer standing there you can let it work for others, so that they can progness that evantually will lead to new products and idea's that we'll all use in the future.
so join and help sience.
(if you have a very powerfull computer, with a powerfull processor 64bit or G4/G5 then i very strongly ask you to participate).
thank you bart

With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

I ran seti until they switched to BOINC. That proved to be the biggest POS ever 
And took a lot of effort to reinstall as well

I think BOINC is a great tool and I tryed Climateprediction.net but the projects takes 300 to 700 mb which you have to archive and back up in case they find something interesting on the 9 mb you send .... The other projects are down so couldn't test them but I think I won't keep BOINC ...
