Not to mention that it's one of the few (if not the only) DP
projects that has actually published results in a legitimate
scientific journal (although GIMPS certainly can take credit
for producing real real results as well, even though they are
a bit more abstract in application). It's certainly a whole
bunch more useful than SETI, and can be run by those of us no
longer fueling the Microsoft gravy train.
