SETI@Home users - Have you given up on looking for E.T.? Consider using those spare cycles to generate Bitcoins instead, and once you do, be sure to check out the Linux-friendly new MMORPG filled with individual and interactive games of chance, skill, and a mix of both. From the makers of A Tale in The Desert, A Dragon's Tale will provide you strategic "fishing games" where you gain an advantage by playing a better strategy than the others, psychological one-upsmanship games, and many other wagering-style games unlike any you've seen anywhere else. Also don't be surprised as new games pop up overnight. Expect to find a very active and responsive Dev Team, helpful mentors to show you around (and perhaps give you a gift or two along the way), and plenty of good opportunities for strategical advantage in this exotic world. Also, if you just want a good old-fashioned gamble, you can find them in some exciting takes on slot machines - why didn't I think of using fireworks as slots XD?

Bitcoins
I have tried this out, but there is nothing you can do without bitcoins at the moment.
I have set up the bitcoin client, to get some of this wonky currency, but it hasn't "made" any coins yet.
Furthermore, on Ubuntu 10.10, it uses 100% of my 3 cores, quickly overheating my machine. I can only run the client safely with one core.
If everyone could generate
If everyone could generate coins in a matter of minutes, then the currency wouldn't have much value, ey? At the moment, it takes a couple of weeks to get a batch; it is much more efficient to run it on your GPU with OpenCL/CUDA.
Or you could get coins by offering a service on one of the many bitcoin marketplaces, or even just buy them from one of the many exchanges ($0.2 per coin at the moment), and then you don't even have to bother with the client (although disabling generation, and keeping it as a local wallet means that you have full control of your money)
