Who else joined this project after reading about it on the BBC website?
I had never heard of it before then... this project needs more 'advertising' like that - there are so many people who could just stick this little programme on their PCs.... |

I had never heard of it before then... this project needs more 'advertising' like that - there are so many people who could just stick this little programme on their PCs.... Hi Bertiebertie, I was actually LOOKING for a project like this, and then.... I saw mention of the WorldCommunityGrid on.... BBC NEWS Several years ago I had been donating processor time to the Seti@home project, and although that was much more esotheric than folding proteines, I still had the feeling I was participating in something good and valuable. I needed that feeling back, so the decision to download the agent and become part of this Grid was very easy for me |

Yep I was one of the brits who investigated further seeing this on BBC... and I did admit that I had never heard of it beforehand.... more publicity could get a lot of others into it... I remember some colleges donating processor time to Seti, so why not this?

Anglefire,
Some believe that a "E.T" with a more developed knowledge and understanding of this universe could solve many troubles here on earth.... Since the distance of the nearest solar system is considerable, I found it more "down to earth" to give my unused CPU-time to a humanitary project. I joined a bunch of nice guys from all over the world, we use Skype and MSN messenger to keep in touch and have some good laughs on the way. Crunching from below the sea-level..  |
