would appreciate your help with their

footnote 1- Right to respect for private and family life
1 Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.
2 There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

Hello
Theres an
article
in
TheStandard detailing
Dr. David Anderson's (of
seti@home
fame) new start up:
United Devices. Its would seem from the spiel on their web page that they plan on using a set@home model to provide computer muscle specifically for research.
Not a great deal on their web page at the moment, but it looks interesting.
Hello,
Sorry, my phrasing could have been clearer, I was also being slightly retorical.
However the people from
Rutherford Appleton running the
Casino-21 project, modeling the climate address this potential irony in their
FAQ
part of which I duplicate below:
Won't all these computers being left on for 24 hours a day have a detrimental impact on the Climate System?
Assume a computer running 24hrs/day requires, on average, 50W of power. If 100,000 computers join the Casino-21 project, the project will require 5,000kW of power. There are 24 hours in a day, so each day the project will consume 120,000kW-hrs, or 432,000,000kJ of energy.
That's a big number, so let's try and put it in perspective by calculating how much energy is necessary to boil water for a cup of tea. Assuming a specific heat of water of 4.19 kJ/(kg-K), 0.237kg/cup of water, a necessary temperature rise from 20 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius, and that only one cup of water is boiled for each cup of tea, then about 80kJ/cup of energy are necessary (assuming our kettle is 100% efficient). This means that running the Casino-21 project for one day is equivalent to boiling water for 5,400,000 cups of tea
Is 5,400,000 cups of tea a lot? According to the
Tea Council
, some 37 million people in the United Kingdom drink, on average, 3.4 cups of tea per day. That's nearly 126 million cups of tea per day in the UK alone!
Each day, about 23 times more energy will be spent boiling water for tea in the United Kingdom than would be used by the computers involved in the Casino-21 project. More seriously, a rough calculation suggests that 100,000 computers running 24hrs/day for one year at a power consumption of 50W will contribute approximately 0.0001% of the total amount of CO2 generated in one year. This is not an insignificant amount, but seems (to us) a worthwhile investment to better understand the climate system.

True-true, I was being sloppy using 'global warming' as a shorthand for the dynamic process that we're messing with.
