In other words, they could try to get their users to share a distributed computing project working towards, say, the cure of a deadly disease or other medical project, then give ( or sell, which would be more likely) the results to whatever foundation would actually be able to use the data?
Not trying to stray offtopic, but United Devices does something like this with cancer research.
Then again, _you_ download the client, and they don't sell the results to anyone; as i understand it they collaborate with the Dept. of Chemistry @ the University of Oxford.
Kazaa using this technology (with the consent of the user, of course:) would be a great idea, IMO.
They could stick it in there with all the extra third-party partner software that the installer prompts you for. Combine that (the UD client) with Kazaa's user base, and that's something worthwhile.
I'd love to hear about your loser "box," you stupid cluebie, but I'm boycotting the PDF format. Why don't you send me a link that's in a more open format, like HTML?
As of about 5 months ago, a Sony VAIO RX550 went for $1000. P4 @ 1.5GHz, 256MB RAM, 60GB HD, DVD-ROM, CD-RW. This was the last brandname I ever bought. One box that I built died on me and I didn't have time (or the parts) to screw around building one. Mind you, this was _without_ a monitor.
Let's say that you do travel back to meet your grandfather when he was a boy. In the theory of parallel universes, you may have traveled to another universe, one that is similar to ours, but has a different succession of events. For instance, if you were to travel back in time and kill one of your ancestors, you've only killed that person in one universe, which is no longer the universe that you exist in. And if you then try to travel back to your own time, you may end up in another parallel universe and never be able to get back to the universe you started in.

That was the only one. Blame Sony, not me.

Now they're selling about $750 refurbished. But what do i love most? That blue light in the front. It just looks cool.
man[3] wouldn't have to build the time machine the second time around, since man[2] was never killed by man[1].
