Incase you don’t know what BOINC is, it is a grid computing client for tons of different OS’s. It runs projects like SETI@home, MilkyWay@home, and LHC@home.
Check it out here:

Projects I’m contributing my idle CPU cycles to are: LHC@home (whenever any work arrives), rosetta@home, SETI@home, and Docking@home.
I’m faily impressed with BOINC because you can run multiple projects through the same client. And even more, it won’t destroy your CPU. Yes, your CPU will run at 100% all the time, but BOINC runs low-priority so it won’t interfere with your computing experience when you need it.
Also, BOINC has a GPU client if you’re hell-bent on speed. It works for any CUDA enabled nVidia GPU’s.
I suggest you contribute.

So I’m on the computer a few hours ago doing my own thing, writing code, when I hear a loud BANG at the front door. I immediately knew what was about to happen (why I knew is a long story). I bolt over into the bedroom, grab the gun, chamber a round and stood perched at the top of the stairs. Then the second bang, the door flew open and there stood two dudes intent on entering my house. The alarm system went off, Jill (my g/f) was screaming at them at the top of her lungs. From my standpoint, I only saw from about the waist down so I didn’t have a very good description of the intruders. They never actually came into the house. Jill must have had some killer look on her face because they paused, and turned and ran.
Anyway, there’s another pre-cursor to this story, but I am chosing not to talk about it. Bottom line was nobody got hurt or killed, and my front door is a mess. It seemed random, but you can never be so sure these days. For all I know these guys had been casing this place for a while and just picked a really bad time to drop by for a visit.
Here’s the aftermath:
