>From Slashdot: The Register is reporting that the SETI at 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 at home project for use in its new
BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) 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.
