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

Mark, my point is that science is getting a huge bang for the buck. 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. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Mark, my point is that science is getting a huge bang for the buck. Indeed, consider that this is less than $5/year per active user. An Economic Plan that works. WOW!

Ah, poor Dull, people are laughing at you -- and you who focus always on mild comments about others all the time. I mean why would they do that. Concept of reap/sow might enter into the equation. For Dull to be on point, he'd go off agenda, and we can't have that. |

lets also not forget his wonderful means of quoting people. Ever hear of using the "quote" tab instead of the "BOLD" that makes it easier to read and less like you are attempting to emphasize something, Which bold typing is typically used for In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

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. so much for discussing the space program...Oh and congratulations on derailing the thread Extraneous bolding and underlining have been removed to distinguish this message from the mega millionaire day trader <smile>. |

Dull, Dull, pay attention, I think the thread Is this all it costs to run S@H ? got killed when you replied to a post that was obviously in the wrong thread. |
