    There's a few other things like this, only they are open for everyone...

    There's the SETI@Home, and then Folding@Home. Both of which the old chaps back at <a href="http://www.overclockers.com" target="_blank">http://www.overclockers.com</a> were _very_ adament about.

    Hey, anyone wanna set up an NS SETI or Folding team?
