Power to the people!
Possibly to the aliens too. Wish one of them would post here, to let us know.

Well I've been accused of being an alien, does that count?  
And congrats to MithcM

Demonhood,
No doubt. It took me the better part of a decade too, but I'm maxed out.
Just thought I would remind you that I was catching up so you can put the pedal to the medal and leave me eating dust.
Still... I'll get in the top 40 somehow.

WU = Work Unit. A data packet distributed to computers to process, or "crunch" through. Completing one entitles the owner to one unit of credit from the source project, as well as public fame if that work unit happened to solve a problem.
Just what a unit is trying to solve varies by distributed computing project. In the case of SETI, it is looking for a regular sine wave from an interstellar source indicating intelligence. Other projects may be looking for new prime numbers, optimal protein folding paths, or those missing car keys.
