<A href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/61/34570.html">The Register</A> is
reporting that the SETI@home project is going to be expanding the scope of their
project with the help of Sun. Sun is donating a fleet of servers to the
SETI@home project for use in its new BOINC (<A
href="http://boinc.berkeley.edu/">Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network
Computing</A>) project. This project will use Sun's new JXTA peer-to-peer
protocol for distributed computing, and will add other functions to the project
other than looking for little green men. Users will now be able to dedicate
slices of their idle time to projects other than SETI, like cancer research and
climate mapping.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
