| Hello, I was wondering if anyone would be intrested in a distributed computing project. It is for a very good cause. I have been running the client for about a year now, it now seems to have all the bugs out: 
Maybe with Mark's permission, we could start a runryder team.
Let's use some of our computing power for a good cause!
With over 10,000 runryder members, we should be able to show the world how the heli communities pull together to help fight a terrible disease.

What is Distributed Computing?
Distributed computing is a science which solves a large problem by giving small parts of the problem to many computers to solve and then combining the solutions for the parts into a solution for the problem. Recent distributed computing projects have been designed to use the computers of hundreds of thousands of volunteers all over the world, via the Internet, to look for extra-terrestrial radio signals, to look for prime numbers so large that they have more than ten million digits, and to find more effective drugs to fight the AIDS virus. These projects are so large, and require so much computing power to solve, that they would be impossible for any one computer or person to solve in a reasonable amount of time.
Thanks, WALJ
