Re: selling cpu cycles...

I'm sensitive to many ethic and moral issues. If, someone wants to sell the cpu cycles and that speeds up the process for a cure or a medicine to be found, I don't see anything wrong with it.

How is it speeding anything up?? The science is still getting done at the same speed, the only difference is that the buyer of the extra production gets a stat boost that they'd never otherwise and that's not fair to all of us who have spent vast amounts of time and effort for years and earned each and every credit and what comes along with them.
