Ideas and Projects

We are looking for any Ideas and Projects you have and are looking to realize them or just put them out into the field and let someone else make them real.

My great idea is...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

      • Web: cheaper-than-beowulf cluster

        Ever wanted to crack a password? Do something that would take 5000 years to compute on your computer?

        Well here's an idea:
        1. Make a javascript protocol for distributed computing
        2. Make a silly facebook/twitter gag thing
        3. Put the distributed computing code on it
        4. It goes viral
        5. 100k+ people compute a bit of your problem and it gets solved in a week.

        We need to make this possible now, before people start caring about their browser's CPU usage.
