I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I don't understand why they haven't incorporated something like this into BOINC.  I suppose the bottleneck could be collecting the data in place of processing it, though.

BOOOOOIINNNC!  BOOIIINNNNCCC!

(Sounds funny.  ;))

What's BOINC?
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.

What's BOINC?

Berkely Open Infrastructure for Network Computing.  It's what now powers SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and a few other projects that require a massive amount of computations.

Oh, this was featured in this week's Science News as well.
