ok, here goes,

 

SETI at Home is a project centered around the SETI project (Search for ExtraTterestrial Intelligence). It was one of the first projects to enlist average people with average pc's to help crunch their work.

 

The gist of how it works is this...

 

1. Sign up for the project

2. Download a free program called BOINC

3. Attach your BOINC client to the SETI project and crunch data taken from a radio telescope.

4. After completing the unit it will upload and start on a new work unit.

 

The way this program operates is that you can dictate when it will work. ie all the time or when the pc is doing nothing. If you run it all the time it runs in the background and uses free CPU cycles to crunch the workunit allowing you to do whatever without it interfering with your work/gaming.

 

Each workunit succesfully completed earns you "credits" and the more credits you get the closer you are to the top of the leaderboard. There are no prizes for winning just bragging rights :lol:

 

Any other questions feel free to ask me.

Seti Home I had for some months working on my computer...

 

But to be honest, I don't care about those little aliens that much :)

So I've decided to use this:

 

http://folding.stanford.edu

 

This little program uses your cpu just like Seti, but it's for a real good thing: fight against diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, and Parkinson's disease.

 

Your CPU analizes is used to analize the material and then return it back to the scientists. I run this little program all the time, my Computer is on...

When I try to join it says it can't handle the request :(

 

They just moved the project to a new sever so they might be having problems with the sign in, just try again
