Are there any other projects can steal CPU cycles like SETI...?
http://www.distributed.net/ does something similar... but for a
different purpose altogether. I'm sure thare are many others (A search
on google lists quite a lot of them).
Of course, a couple of Windows worms are programmed to do what SETI does
technically... but with bad intent - use your resources and CPU cycles
to perform a DDoS attack on a victim host (from the internet) on a
trigger.
