I started with SETI@Home about 4 or 5 years ago and recently made the move over to BOINC. I am very glad to see the progress of Distributed Computing. It theoritically makes sense for mankind to do this given todays networked infrastructure. The potential that could be acheived (if every idle processor ran BOINC) would have a astronomical impact on the science community. I have ran the climateprediction.net project about a year ago when it wasn't part of BOINC and then went back to SETI because running both was hurting the CPU and neither were getting anywhere. However, I did complete one 3/3 Phases on a climateprediction.net package before removing it. Now that they both can be in one client is amazing ... now I can share my processor distribution. :D I hope to see the BOINC project progress to more scientific applications ... like perhaps researching alternative fuel methods, sub-atomical calculations? I believe BOINC could be the new revolution in networked supercomputing that could accelerate us into the future. It may also help us save this planet.
