I thought that the members of Free-DC might want to know about a recently created distributed computing project. Seventeen Or Bust is a distributed attack on the Sierpinski problem. This is an interesting mathmatical problem where the goal of the project is the locate the lowest Sierpinski number. You can find out more info on the project right here. (http://sb.pns.net/) The project does not yet have teams implemented in the stats, but they should be added in the next few days. One of the creators of the project has already posted to answer question about it in this Arstechnica thread. (http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=122097561&m=7430977434)
