Is there software that can change idle computer resources, that would otherwise do nothing of value for anybody for intervals of time, into creators of something with real value? I leave my pc running when I am afk often so that when I return I can quickly access the internet without the delay of waiting for the system to boot, so there are frequently these time intervals for which resources sit idle except for thier basic energy consumption.
There was a good article on optimising the idle loop, linked from Slashdot a few weeks ago:

Written by IBM it goes into quite a lot of detail. It's a good read. .
