@Dogbytes

I was just about to buy a dual VGA video card and second monitor
in order to see your sigs but since you will be soon able to put
them all in the same bag I guess I'll wait and save the money for
something else. A new iMac maybe.

How did the press manage to contact those who had crunched the work unit?

As far as I can tell neither user has a profile.

It looks as though this is a possible signal that has been misinterpreted by the press. Maybe they asked the Seti team for the info and got it although I would have thought it unlikely that the team would give out such information on what they are saying is an interesting but improbable signal.

"using computer downtime" Oh, why are we spending so much on power when the computers apparently works fine even when they're down? *lol*

Friendly back at yah...I too am waiting for the multi-project siggy's. But look at the positive side, your gaming experience will be enhanced. I myself am planning on building a dual Xeon without any AGP or PCI graphics card later this month. Money better spent for a crunch monster. Won't even really need a monitor once it's up and running. :)

SPAT...

Look in your rear view mirror...already fixed, OK.
Now if everybody learned to clean up the other persons html's when replying, but that's another story.

Now where were we, oh yah, aliens crying wolf to cover up their signals.

He means trim out all the extraneous crap when replying to a post. Sigs, etc... :-)

Long strings of broken HTML or superfluous sigs makes it hard to find the actual reply.
