One hundred million SETI credits. Wait a second I need to type that again. One hundred million SETI credits. It's almost as large a number as how big is the universe :) |

You did mean Number Crunching (NC)? Yes.....and your question is? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

One hundred million SETI credits. Thanks Sparky........ But, not nearly as large as the universe. I am gonna take the liberty to repost something here that I fed to the Cafe folks a little while back.... It may give you a little, teeny weeny bit of perspective on who and what we are, and just what our needle in the haystack is looking for. Witness this...... The Hubble Ultra Deep Field Search.... My friend...... This is what the Hubble telescope found when the scientists focused it at 'nothing'..... Their total absence of anything known to man. Nothing. Quite amazing for 'nothing', eh? As my post in the Cafe was titled, 'This is Why we Search'. Now you know why I have been here and invested so much time and money in Seti. It is simply because.....I DO believe.... There has to be someone, something, 'out there'. F.....the numbers are better than winning the fn lottery. There simply HAS to be somebody out there. And I believe there is. Meow.

Congrats to everyone on their huge milestones! Makes me sick looking at them though, at my current rate 100m will be reached on November 29th 2025 and 200m on February 4th 2041. Everybody mark your calendars! (Man I need a few new systems!) Traveling through space at ~67,000mph! |

44 days ago I hit the 4 mil point on a i7/930 & EVGA GTX460 SE board, over night I reached the 5 mil mark after upgrading the 930 to a 950! Can't wait until I am able to upgrade the Q6600/DP35DP to another i7. Maybe by that time I will be able to afford a 980 or even something faster. The faster we can GET HER DONE!!... The faster we can sit down and have conversations with ET!!!! |
