Out source your good deed of the day
Does
your computer stand idle sometimes? Want to give something to the community?
World
Community Grid is a grid computing project. What that means is, it is a worldwide
network of computers working together to solve a problem. You download a small
application from their website and install it on your computer. When your
computer is idle it will request data from WCG servers and do some computations
on the data and send the results back to them.
Millions
of people worldwide have joined and are working together. To give you an idea
how powerful this project is – the research they have done so far would have
taken one computer 40 000 years to complete.
Currently
they are working on Muscular Dystrophy, Cancer, Aids and Influenza research.
There are also research into human DNA and a project that analyze proteins
strains to enable farmers to grow more nutritious rice.
It is really a worthwhile cause to join. Think about it. Your computer is doing your good deed of the day; you are free to be your bad self.
