I vaguely remember reading something about this a couple years back as I recall. If it's totally harmless then I guess what's the problem - obviously nothing. BUT........I make a living off of data. I make sure thousands of people are able to surf the web, access - heck access anything across vast networks most of which I design. Another part of my job is to make sure the guys and gals who sit in little dark rooms and try and make life a living h-e-ll <-----those are hockey sticks - for the rest of the "normal world" keep out of my networks. I guess my questions to this place would be - how are you using my processor - the heart of my computer - without my allowing you into my network? You can't. What can you POSSIBLY be doing to save the world that needs SO much processing power - mind you we're not talking storage, bandwidth, memory, bits flying back an forth - we're talking flat out number crunching processor power as I read it........what are they actually doing and honestly how does that work? I need geek speak and that's not something I see on the site.
Anyway it sounds kind of interesting and I'll read more on it - I'm just not sure how this all works because my network engineer butt doesn't quite get it.
