[ale] I need funding and an excuse

[JK]

I read a couple days ago that the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which
will fly on the ISS and spearhead the search for antimatter galaxies
and dark matter, has an on-board 640-CPU machine for pre-processing
the massive amounts of data it gathers.  You could maybe convince
NASA to offload that task to your basement?  You'll probly need a
GB/sec link to the interplanetary Internet, which I'm sure they'll
happily provide :-)
