The framework developed for SETI@Home and now used for dozens of other
distributed computing projects. While there is the question wether running
computers just for BOINC (and/or using your employers network at your workplace
for it) is ethical I see no reason why not run boinc on machines that you
wouldn´t shut down anyway. Let your PC *do* something for a while, look for
aliens/predict DNA streams/search for prime number/whatever ;)
if you have a computer that idles alot, theses no reason not to get this
software i mean u can set it so it will only work when ure not at the pc, so why
the hell not
It should be mandatory for all computers to be BOINC-ing. Why there is such
a small amount of people using this is beyond comprehension. If only this could
spread like Facebook is spreading, the world would be a better place. :)
Excellent program, not noticed it dragging down performance, and it's nice to know I am helping over at R@h.

i use boinc with worldcommunitygrid. it gives me a great satisfaction to see iam helping in some way. The client itself could use some more features.
I'm not sure the degree of which it helps, but it's an easy program to just let running, and it's good to know that you are doing some good.
Using Boinc to run Rosetta@Home. Gotta love crunching!
dont think so.. it spends a lot of energy, not ecoware
good

love this software. It is great to donate computer time to science.

Everyone should run BOINC.
