I listen to quite a few podcasts, probably a good five hours worth a week. Here’s how I save time doing that:

1. Open Windows Media Player

2. Enable the Speed Up Enhancement in Windows Media Player

3. Play your file

4. Crank it up

I can listen to all my podcasts at 1.4 or 1.5 except Security Now with Steve Gibson and Leo Leporte, Steve talks a mile a minute and they really shove a lot of good content into their podcast.

Remember SETI@Home? Are you still running that?

Folding@Home studies how proteins fold and more importantly, why they fold improperly and cause cancer. Don’t you think this is a better use of your computer?

It uses your spare CPU so you’ll see your CPU at 100% all the time but it yields to all other applications so you will never notice that its running. Think of it as using your whole computer all the time instead of just sucking power while running the Flying Windows screensaver.

You can find the windows installer on the Folding@Home installer, If you’d like you can join our team using the team number 50606.
