Lapendos is a Distributed Computing Club which participates in projects who's goal is deemed "worthy" of the considerable effort and expense donated by the Lapendos members. We find the mysteries of the universe facinating, as well as our own expanding minds, art and technology. We believe that you too can be a valuable contributor, lending us your talent and imagination, your computers and some electricity. You do not have to be from earth to join Lapendos, but you must have a sense of humor. Come join us as we smash the other clubs with our team co-operation, shared knowledge, and blinding accumulated CPU speed.
Lapendos is:

While club members still communicate, and attend LAN parties, but very rarely visit. We still do
distributed computing projects. The best IMHO project is more "distributed hosting" and that is the
Project Honey Pot in which you donate webhosting space,
domain names, and URL links to help defeat spammers. I like it because it works and it does not heat
up my living room. We as a group will NEVER donate or volunteer to a drug company that would just as
soon watch us die, than treat us without pay or for that matter actually cure a disease. We hollar
SHENANIGANS! to the use of volunteer cpu's for medical (or any private) research -- no matter
how well intentioned. They would NOT volunteer to help you!
The electric sheep are Great! I run milkyway and Einstein, but the best, most productive boinc project has
to be Milkyway. Each job actually does something, NOT looking at blank space for martians, NOT trying all
the wrong numbers looking for a prime, NOT a hit or miss waste of randomness, but real work building a part
of our galaxy's actual map. That map will ALWAYS contain my data -- possibly for ever! Bravo,
Milkyway@home, way to put back the "spirit of the quest" that inspired the original seti users.

We have shut down the seti project new (boinc) and old (seti1) on all the club-owned machines. We were unable to find any intelligent life at Berkeley.
We still believe that with 600 billion stars in our own Milkyway galaxy and a seemingly infinite number of other galaxies, that there HAS to be other life out there. Hopefully they are smarter than us, because (as Frank Zapa said) "People, we ain't wrapped tight!" But, We no longer think that donating computer power to Seti@home is a productive use of that resource. The Seti Team at Berkeley has lost track of what made the project such a success (community spirit & the dream) Money, praise, power all affected the project and soured the milk. There is NO science in running the same failed test over and over without a declaration of the "NEGATIVE RESULTS" There are WAY too many volunteers and the Seti Team would appear to want rid of those participants that might diminish Berkeley's limelight by sharing in the credit in any way. Seti says right on their web site that they do not want users to donate large quantities of computer power (this would deserve credit) nor do they want anyone to offer suggestions (that would indicate that problems exist) instead they want more attention to shine on themselves. They are now TV stars and according to them Millions of participants are just wasted cpu cycles anyway!
We highly recommend Linux over Windows and suggest you try one of these:
