The Devil Makes Mischief for Idle CPU's
The BBC Climate Change Project uses idle time on thousands of PCs around the world to create a virtual supercomputer that runs climate change experiments.

A variety of similar projects, powered by BOINC technology, are available through GridRepublic; GridRepublic lets you run several different projects on your computer.
Anyone who cares to join one of my teams (the Hong Kong Kavaliers! after the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai) can sign up for any of the following projects at the following sites or through GridRepublic:
