SETI@home
This stuff is a bit outdated as I admit I haven’t run this in quite a long time, but it’s a nifty idea anyway. I have been a participant in SETI@home off and on over the years. Seti@home is a distributed CPU project that analyzes radio signals looking for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Lifted from the SETI@home homepage:
SETI@home is a scientific experiment that will harness the power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. There’s a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth.
You can join my team, The Weasels for Extraterrestrial Domination (aka “team 4625”)! Join the team here. If you’re not a part of SETI@home yet, the first step is to download the correct client, then install it. What does it entail? SETI@home runs as a screensaver, so you won’t notice it while you’re working.
