Orbit was out of new work for a few days, but they have started sending out another batch a few hours ago.

Just a word of warning, take care on their forums. Their admin is a bit of a nazi, I got instantly banned for posting this (as an obvious joke) in a thread where people were bitching about low credits:

WTF is this?!! 25 credits per WU?!!! GOD!!!#!$#%

*throws a chair*


Apparently this constitutes a hate post. So yeah good project, douche admin. Have fun.

After careful consideration I joined Orbit as a backup given ...

JOKINGLY

that:-

a) SETI can't currently deliver on any level (harsh I know - but check my SETI ''joined date'' and ask me why ... at your peril ;-)
b) I'd rather know about my death 1 second before it happens instead of a WOW! 100 years later
c) If ET is really out there, SETI won't hear the reply for 11 years ... minimum ... via SETI current status.
The difference between 0 and 1 is greater than the difference between 1 and 1,000,000
