    The choice of Folding@Home clients is disappointingly limited. I
    could potentially run it on only some of my machines, and only if
    I jump through additional hoops. Compare with the list of SETI@home
    clients. (And yes, I do think that SETI is a worthwhile project.)

    I know people feel immensely proud about having expanded their
    mental horizon when they have internalized the existence of Linux/i386,
    but really, it's just about as parochial as before.
