[glow=black,2,300]I've been searching for programs to stress test my pc lately and came across this.

Basically you can run a program on your pc that helps SETI analyse radio data.
Its worth it just for the cool graphic thing it does while working. Trust me
Yes i am sad, and bored. [/glow]

lol....been doing that on and off for about 7 or 8 years I guess.

Its clever stuff.
Just added another one to the program it uses.

It uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars).
Another class screensaver graphic as it works.

There's also the human genome mapping one and several others who's addresses I forget (mainly because they all used to crash my PC while it was running hot).
