I too am concern about the number of machines in the background, are you running a cluster or something? Server farm perhaps? SETI? You are already an alien yourself with that 178watts LEDs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif

IMHO, something alot more worthwhile than SETI.
This is one area that drug companies do little research in, since there is not a big cash payoff.
The Rothberg Institute For Childhood Diseases is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for children suffering from Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). We operate at the intersection of modern biology, computer science, and chemistry.
The work we do on TSC will also have a direct impact on cancer research, and we will be testing the drugs we find as weapons against cancer. In addition the work we do to create a system to attack orphan diseases will form a prototype for work on other orphan diseases.
TSC is a genetic disorder that leads to benign tumors in multiple organs, including the brain, kidneys, heart, eyes, lungs and other organs. During the first few years, the severity of TSC can range from mild skin abnormalities to, in severe cases, seizures, mental retardation or renal failure.
