    No client to download. Just write "God, if you can see this, please show yourself!" in a large font on your screen using the blink-tag. If enough people do it, God will see it.

    Note that once we make contact with God, He can cure cancer for us, factor larger integers, or tell us where the aliens are, so this distributed computing project subsumes every other one.

    I'd *love* to switch from SETI to the cancer research program, but I'm definitely not switching to Windows to do it!

    How about a distributed project where millions of people around the world can correct spelling mistakes in Slashdot articles. Or cancel previously posted stories.

  10. Will slashdot please hire an editor? by neurojab · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Now" and "No" are not the same word. They vaguely sound the same and have much the same spelling, but CANNOT be used interchangeably. In fact, such interchange could be disastrous given the worst-case context. Imagine the questions "Should I shoot?" or "Is the building clear for demolition?" or "Is Windows ready for mission critical applications?". Clearly "now" and "no" are not the same word, and I trust slashdot editors will check for this in the future.
