Off tópic - Faça alguma coisa de útil para o mundo

Pq vi esta notícia noutro lado e também me afectou, aqui vai.
Fiquei na dúvida se devia colocar esta notícia, mas como muitos dos que aqui passam, deduzo que devem ter o computador quase sempre ligado, porque não dar uma ajuda a projectos de investigação.
Conto antes de mais, o que me levou a colocar esta notícia.
Eu também tinha há já 4 anos o meu computador a trabalhar para o projecto grid.org e agora foi-se.

Assim, para quem ainda não tenha reparado aqui fica a notícia:

BREAKING NEWS: GRID.ORG MISSION COMPLETE
On Friday, April 27, 2007, Grid.org announced it has completed its mission to demonstrate the viability and benefits of large-scale Internet-based grid computing, and will be retiring its famous efforts to support critical health research.

Projects to Date
Grid.org projects include:
(2001) Cancer Research Project, with Intel
(2002) Anthrax Project, with Intel and Microsoft
(2004) Smallpox Research Grid Project, with IBM
(2005) Human Proteome Folding Project, with IBM

Please support other volunteer grid projects
We encourage member to take your valuable resources to other projects of this kind that are ready and willing to accept you as new members.

Below are just a few examples:
Aqui estão outros projectos, a que irei aderir:

Distributed.net, operated by distributed.net
Compute Against Cancer, operated by National Cancer Institute
Folding@Home, operated by Stanford University
climateprediciton.net, operated by a group of partners including MIT and Oxford University
fightAIDS@Home, operated by Olson Lab at Scripps Research Institute
LHC@home, operated by CERN
SETI@home, operated by UC Berkeley
Distributed Folding, operated by a group of partners including Hogue Bioinformatics Research Lab, Mount Sinai Hospital, and University of Toronto

Also, here are a few great sites to visit to learn more about these and other projects:

Dos três projectos seguintes, qual aconselham e porquê?

Nota: de verão deixar o computador a trabalhar nestes projectos, por vezes aquecem muito o ambiente. Pessoalmente durante o dia, nos dias mais quentes eu desligava o projecto e qd durante a noite ficava ligado colocava novamente a funcionar.
