37>40 :(

They don't give much coverage to folding in that little articlette, they are SETI fans.

Hey funk, just wondered if you ever thought that the combined value of a cow and a rocket launcher rocket, might actually be more than $100? :D

Why do people want to save them? You cannot exactly put them in your back pocket and use them later.

I can just see someone calling tech support: "Hi, yes, tech support. I would like to use my extra saved cpu cycles this weekend. Will that be a problem?" What do people really think they are doing by saving their cycles. Anyway, off to vote again.

Sorry to double post, but I just read the feedback under that story, and it really lets you see how stupid people are. I will give a quick overview. First one guy said he paid for his whole CPU so he doesn't want to share it to make a poorman's supercomputer. Well, he totally missed the point. A second person said he was concerned about P2P grids and stuff like that, and instead would like to see a secure client that would download data, process it and then send it back. To my knowledge, that is exactly how F@H works!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you get the chance, read the feedback, and leave some of your own on the site.
