Are you running distributed computing applications?

Post by Ace Pace »

I've been wondering, esspecially in a forum where people leave their computers running 24/7, how many of us are actully using our CPUs during idle times?

If you do run Distributed Apps, post which.

I do and I run Folding @ home.

Used to run Seti@home, but hated it when they switched to BOINC so I dropped it.

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. ... If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. ... If, as they say, God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" -Epicurus


Fear is the mother of all gods.

Nature does all things spontaneously, by herself, without the meddling of the gods. -Lucretius
