LHC@Home

It seems that the LHC has also gotten into this distributed computing stuff. They are looking for idle computers (such as yours when you're not using it) to do some distributed computing. Can't guarantee that your computer will be hunting for the Higgs, but maybe it might run some code to do some Monte Carlo background simulation! :)
