Well, how about the idle cycles of hundreds of internet-accessible computers around the world, in a fashion somewhat similar to Seti@home and that one that's trying to prove that various encoding schemes are actually crackable and thus unsafe. I'm sure the latter project's software would be usable for this. Now all you need to do is convince people ;) (I've completely forgotten the name of the latter project, so don't expect me to come up with it any time soon.) Tristan
