This is hilarious. I wish they got away with it for a little while just to see what would have happen.
Though not exactly the same thing, I can't tell you how often I've wished I could take the computers I find left powered on over night at work and put them all to the task of researching on boinc and gridcoins coming to me.
I know I can't do it but it just feels like a waste of power to let 2 entire floors of a building with desktops just sitting there running screensavers.

this is somewhat not true. newer computer core 2 and onwards and even videocards geforce 8 *i think and up. run on low power when not being used.
for example. lets say like 50 watts when idle and 200 watts if its crunchung. and beside crunching at higher watts = bigger power bill. so its not a waste for a company not to crunch.
