    Download a Bot in the name of science

    Each downloaded a software pack from climateprediction.net which ran when their computer was otherwise idle, with results being fed back to the central server.
    Sounds like a Bot to me but you can read for yourself.

    There's a link on that page that takes you to this http://bbc.cpdn.org/ where you can still download the software and partcipate as long as you "satisfy yourself" that you understand what you are doing.

    I wonder what kind of goodies were in the "pack". Somebody made some money.
    The true test of character is not how much we
    know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do
