so basically what is going on here is that my computer's cpu is going to be used for some "biological computing project".......ahhh, not to sure i feel so comfortable with that. I think I heard something similar where its basically having a massive computer with thousands of cpu's to accomplish major amounts of computing processes. Cool idea, but ah, no thanks. interesting though.

I think this will be most beneficial when you are AWAY from your computer, I don't think you'll be sitting at your PC all day and all night, whenever you leave, all of that processing power is just there dormant. I think I'll give it a shot!
