Google Compute. No!

Google Compute Google wants to rent your computing cycles. Don't let them. Not on your office computer, it might cost you your job! I recall a similar idea in the 1990s when a system administrator installed a screen saver that did massively distributed computing when every employee of the company went home. That was also for a scientific research project, but the administrator didn't obtain any authorization from the management. The organization (IMO rightly) determined that it was abuse of company's computing resources, and terminated him. I have nothing against Protein research. Do participate in Google Compute project if you own the computer, and if you are paying for the bandwidth. Please don't install it on computing facilities belonging to others (like libraries, universities, or customers). (Comments Disabled for Now. Sorry!)
