Tax Write-offs for CPU cycles (Score 1)

One of the biggest differences between charitable use of cpu cycles and other forms of charity is that at present time charitable cpu cycles are not tax-deductible. Which is a shame, because if they were tax-deductible we'd see a lot more computing power devoted to whatever distributed project you could name...and no, I have no idea how one would implement such a system... Still, a large corporation that otherwise left its myriad desktops alone all night could thereby stand to benefit as much as the recipients of project data.
