One of my friends just showed this to me, and I think it's the greatest idea ever. Stanford Univesity has designed a program called Folding@Home that uses excess CPU cycles to research how specefic proteins fold. Once connected to the server, using the program found here (http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html) it relays the information to them. This is probably the easiest way to help fight cancer, Alzheimer's and other such diseases. Please, it does not hurt you, but helps thousands of others. Additionally, it could be helping you, or the poeple in your family, if someone was unfortunately diagnosed with such a disease, you may have helped find a cure.
On a computer side of things, it keeps your processor running at 100% since it uses excess CPU power to run. Good way to help thousands of people, AND check your temperatures when under load :)
