That's all it costs per year. Obviously more money would allow them to do more, such as hire additional help.

Ahhh....I took it wrong then. Thought you were wondering about all the constant fundraising and requests for donations when that was 'all' it takes to keep it running.

You are correct though. The amount of computing power contributed to Seti on their shoestring budget is indeed immense.

Concept of reap/sow might enter into the equation.

Dull, Dull, pay attention,

That thread seemingly got derailed when the railing turned out to be to blame Obama for making a choice between welfare fraud and NASA. As rational people might realize, that is truly a straw man -- and a thread derailing approach.
