My name is David Duvall and I'm from the City of Columbia, State of Missouri, United States of America. With more than a dozen computers and a couple of servers in my house running all of the time I figured they should be contributing to something other than global warming. I started with SETI@Home years ago and then moved to BOINC when it became available. The Scientific Method includes the exclusion of all other possible solutions to a particular problem. If I help in excluding one possible solution to a problem -- then, I have contributed to finding the "real" solution(s) to the problem.
