The only type of flaw I could think of is during it's initial start, when you don't have thousands of computer working on units. Apart from that I think it's a great solution to getting a lot of processing power.

This technique is similar to how Google works and seems to be working well for them.

I want to look into this a little more, but I might be interested.

For anyone familiar with SETI, it's much like SETI except it's searching for cures for diseases instead of other intelligent life.
Yes, sir patio.

    What's the site again?

    I think it's a good idea, so I'll probably sign up.

    Um...check the first post.  It didn't go anywhere.  Just so you know, your post count doesn't go up on the Off-Topic forum.

      If I were to run all of my computers at once, my house would:
      A) Burn Down
      B) Loose Power
      C) Start shocking me

          Team Computer Hope has already completed seven work units. :)

          Thanks unlovedwarrior and ivan76 for sharing some of your spare processing power. Hopefully it goes to finding a cure.

          Now, I tried, but I am not shown as a team member.

          How do I do this?
