[QUOTE="ticedoff8, post: 933857, member: 117762"] Download the screen saver from SETI or find one of the research projects that use personal computers for massively parallel processing. They use the "unused" CPU horsepower of personal computers during their idle time to crunch number for huge projects. Once you log in, they send data to your PC, they use your unused CPU cycles to crunch the data, and send it back up. There was some big math project that broke some 500 year old math problem this way. They gave the guy who was CPU came up with the final answer $50k or something as a "reward" for his participation in the project. [/QUOTE]
