Ghost2520 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 I was reading "How Computers Work Part 2" and they had Folding, along with SETI in there but they also had a couple other cool programs. Internet Movie Project IMP At press time, this project was still in beta testing. Eventually, though, this project hopes to create a movie. Users' PCs can render frames for the computer-generated graphics movie. United Devices UD.com United Devices conducts cancer and diabetes research. What it is most known for, though, is the Anthrax Research Project. In just 24 days in 2002, client PCs helped United Devices test more than 3 billion molecules, leading to 300,000 potential cures for anthrax. GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search) GIMPS At press time, the largest known prime number is 2^13,466,917-1. The GIMPS volunteer whose computer locates the first 10 million digit prime number will win $100,000. Any chance on including some of these for the OCC team? I haven't tried them yet so I don't know if they are any good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 We try to focus all of our efforts on one project and right now, that project is [email protected] We will probably be on this project for a very long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 (edited) I know, [email protected] is a great program but when I saw that $100,000 reward on the GIMPS project... I don't know about you guys but I could use $100,000! Also for the IMP, I think it would be cool to see computers make their own movie if thats how I understand how it works.

sykocus Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 what about something like the tiny key counter? http://keycount.piqsoftware.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 bah that ones kind of funny. But I don't see how it goes to any real use. I'd prefer to do something like GIMP where I can win $100,000. Or UD where I can help to cure cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or UD where I can help to cure cancer. it doesn't serve any use per se, but i figure it with all the time people (me) spend in front of computers, it might be cool have something to show for it. and it doesn't interfere with fah at all, so people don't have to choose between the two. if more people are interested and its cool with LP we should start a team.
