PSA: BOINC - Berkeley Open Infrastructure Network Computing

Do you BOINC?
In a few minutes you can be part of the worlds biggest grid computing project and helping out humanity, all without leaving your computer chair!
Please excuse the typos...I will be redoing this video.

Your presentation is excellent. I appreciated the elegantly understated B&W production values with crucial textual information uniquely placed to the left. Your sincerity is infectious. Probably one of the main keys to your effort is that you are *not* "speaking to the choir," thereby exciting the imagination of those not participating.

You've done your job superbly, so our task is now to point the masses to this excellent PSA! All the best to you.

@ohwnou +1 that's true. Now you can also use your GPU to speed up calculations in some compatible projects.

You can use Collatz Conjecture in almost any GPU, but it's not really that useful for humanity. Instead of Collatz I'd run Milkyway, but you need expensive GPU (GTX 260 or upper, HD 3800, 4800, 5800 or 4770 GPUs). You can also try SETI with nVidia GPU.

[ohwnou]

You should support at least 2 projects in case the first one is out of work or goes down.
