You're all forgetting the most important point here: Folding@home is created by the @ssholes at Stanfurd, While SETI and BOINK is created here in good Ole' Berkeley. I think we know who to support;).
Besides, you can run folding on bionk if you really wanted (which you don't-giving Stanfurd more research money is bad).
Can you imagine if we could extend this technology to long distances? This sounds freakishly like ansible technology from Ender's Game. I know getting atomic particles to interact in a chain for miles let alone light years will be a challenge, but if this could be done...
