    So if it twar so easy to lure other computer users to do MY research or compiling; then-I could fire plenty of REAL workers. Think about it, write a program and ask/beg millions of users to share thier "unused" computer cycles to MY CAUSE. Do you really know how easy it is to disquise a developement team as a college project?
