Computer grid to help the world
"Launched this week, the World Community Grid will use idle computer time to test solutions to these problems. The donated processor cycles will help the WCG create virtual supercomputers via the net. The idea follows the success of other similar projects that have used the untapped processing power of millions of desktop PCs."

If you go to read the story on the BBC news, take garlic, crosses, wooden stakes, and Holy water with you.

I don't understand this comment about about the article. Is the Grid supposed to be evil or something? Or maybe something was hidden in the BBC review of it?



 
Oh yes, it is evil, very evil, it will suck the life out of your computer and your privacy if you let it.

But don't worry... It is unavoidable. You have no real say in the matter.



 
"I am Grid Computer of Borg. Resistance is futile."

Something like that?



 
Yeah, "I am 1,365,674 of 5,435,435,239,456,126,409... You will be assimilated."
