I have completed 50 work units for the Stanford Folding@Home project!
Ok, so it says 49, but the certificate is actually behind for some reason. Either way, Folding@Home is something you should look into. It uses your computer's spare processing power to calculate the complex folding equations of proteins; the knowledge gained is used to combat diseases and to develop a more comprehensive knowledge of protein folding in general. Thousands of people around the world participate by donating their computing cycles; the program has a nifty screen saver that shows you the work it's doing; and the program is set by default to consume resources so that it is essentially unnoticed by you (less while you are working, more while you are idle). Check it out if you think your CPU can handle it.
