that's such a shame.  there is so much CPU power out there that is being
wasted that could go to help this worthy cause.

i'd love to run this.  i'm completely taken by the concept, but it's just
that SET@Home and rc5 all seem kinda pointless to me, but for once there
is a distributed project that is worth the time and effort since it serves
such a nobel and good cause.  yet we are being stopped dead in our tracks
if we want to help.  agrivating. [sic]
