Those of you who have seen my home computer will probably know that it spends some of its free time looking for ET and calculating climate change models. (You too could use your computer's idle CPU time (and potentially GPU) to benefit worthy causes of your own choosing at BOINC.
But what I am going to tell you about is not that. I don't preach. So don't call me a tree-hugging UFO-maniac just because I have beliefs. There are lots of mathematical, biological, medical, and other projects you could donate time to, and its not even as though it isn't time that you are using, or even your time. It is just idle CPU cycles that your computer already has to allow for with some form of idle-process.
All I want to tell you about is this:
There is a new game about to be released called Fate of the World. It was designed by Red Redemption using some of the scenarios that I, or rather my computer, helped calculate. I don't play computer games really, otherwise there would probably be less idle CPU time.
