what's always bugged me about things like seti@home and distributed.net is the fact that they are in place to conduct massive network sniffing. all these clients on a lot of different networks running software that report some kind of info (who can tell what is sent?) to a central point...scares me. the fact that some of these projects don't release their source code makes it even worse.
