You can't. Only Senior Members can change their own. Others were changed by Mods. As far as the original question. Check out www.folding.stanford.edu for info on what folding@home is and check out http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ for info on what SETI is. I personally choose to run F@H and setup many computers this way so we can hopefully find a cure for todays diseases.
