Normally I compute alone, however I wonder what it would be like to hook up with others in a vast network of random computers in a grid or a few cpus clustered to work on one task.

Unfortunately I do not have the software to implement this nor a task to accomplish. :'(

I do have F@H installed on my PC and all my servers. Adds a bit of extra heat to the house. Eventually I'll probably heat my floors with the heat generated by it. Would need to throw in more nodes to see any difference though. Sure I could put in a boiler, but why do that when my heated floor can help research for cancer at the same cost. :p

Once you have all those computer users working together, just think of how quickly you could flag youtube videos. :\

Im still contemplating this idea. Youtube has made it harder than ever to flag twerking videos. o_O

Thats a long time to contemplate.

Felix, I recommend you check out the "my life is potato" video as is a great source of wisdom.

Well you know, as they say BurnitDwn, good things take time. As far as checking out that video, I'll try to get around to it sometime.

After doing that I must contemplate my response. Perhaps Ill get back to you sometime in late 2017. :hmm:
