Seti@home

This is some serious fun! Register with e-mail adress and make your computer a part of the scientific research! The program downloads small packets (work units) of data (~340 kb) from Arecibo Radio Observatory and analyse it for traces of *extraterrestrial* life! Than after it's done (on my 1.6 GHz Pentium IV - ~6 hours) it sends the packet back to Berkeley. And off to another...and another...
There are also many, many free add-ins!

  1. OOps. I didn't even know about AIDS research. I'll go and try.
    Yes, it works fine even on slow modems. There are only 340 kB of data in the package!
