Profit from CPU power using Distributed computing project

Distributed computing use background application that use unused CPU power to solve big computational problems.
Computers connected on internet band together to make largest supercomputers in the world.

 Some distributed computing projects use 

screensaver visualizations that can help to spread good word

Example Distributed computing projects:

• SETI@home first well known distributed computing project
• GIMPS offers awards if a (big) prime number us calculated at your computer
• Distributed.net offers very easy installation on Ubuntu

Installing distributed computing project won't slow down your computer, but will add some energy consumption(10 degrees more hot CPU, noise (but fans will run more constantly at high speed) and heat radiation.

Combination with P2P/webhosting/VOIP running on low-energy/fast computer can reduce buying costs while having computer turned on.

Be better at MahJong game (solitare)

To successfully finish look for:
-pairs that free as much of other tiles as possible
-pairs that free your vision on other tiles (when you are looking for tile that will release some blocked tiles)
always (or when in trouble) locate as many tiles as possible


other source:
It's not as easy to play Mahjong game as it sounds; you can end up with having matched the "wrong" pairs and you may find yourself stuck, with unmatchable tiles blocking other key tiles so you can't clear the layout. You must be careful before removing a pair as you play mahjong, you should look for where the remaining pair is in the layout and plan ahead. It's not only a game of pure luck, you have to play Mahjong strategically..
