This sounds too good to be true. Am I missing something? なんかそれって都合よすぎに聞こえるけど、私は何かを見逃してる？ （以下難しくて未訳） Everything is on the level. Members who volunteer their unused computer cycles benefit by not only making their computers more productive, but also by helping make scientific inroads on humanitarian problems. Research organizations benefit by having Grid computing available to them at no cost, enabling them to make more effective use of critical funds. The people of the world benefit because humanitarian research is advanced, and the results are shared because they are made available in the public domain.
