You should check. I read somewhere that they are, indeed. However, you'll want to check for NZ. | |

I donated some hours ago and see neither the star, nor the donation in my donations list. Is there some queue waiting? | |

I donated some hours ago and see neither the star, nor the donation in my donations list. Is there some queue waiting? It it still Sunday in Berkeley.

It it still Sunday in Berkeley. Wait until Monday afternoon their time (PDT/UTC-7), then if you have had no response, ask again. Your donation requires some processing by the UC Berkeley Donations Office. Once they process the donation, you should get the email acknowledgement, and the Seti@Home staff will be notified. Your green star shows up shortly thereafter(and I see it has asrrived!) ____________ Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired | |

Thank you Donald. I wasn't aware that manual work is necessary in the process, hence the impatience. | |

It it still Sunday in Berkeley. Wait until Monday afternoon their time (PDT/UTC-7), then if you have had no response, ask again. If you're donating through the GPUUG it may take some time before the donations get processed. Right now the automatic process we're using is broken on the SETI side to award the green stars. Sadly we probably can't get this fixed until Matt returns to the office in 5 weeks or so. Good news: Your money gets to SETI Bad news: No stars for 5 weeks or so via GPUUG donations. Sorry guys, there's nothing I can do on my end to push them through. ____________ Executive Director GPU Users Group Inc. - brad@gpuug.org | |

Dear Kara, had been reported some time ago, the discovery by SETI of 3 objects rapidly approaching the Earth, whose location at coordinates: 16 19 35 -88 43 10 19 -89 25 12 46 3:02 26 39 -89 43 13, respectively. What truth there is in this story? Which location today? and where can I read more about this? A hug. And please answer me something. | |

I am confused about the fund raiser. Why should I donate if there is no interest at Seti to fix this problem? | |

I am confused about the fund raiser. Why should I donate if there is no interest at Seti to fix this problem? It is not that there is no interest, there is a lack of staff, because the project is run on a very tight budget if a member of staff is not in for whatever reason things become a little "busy". I believe they are very short staffed currently. Quote SETI@home is a nonprofit educational and research organization that relies heavily on donations to continue its work. ____________ | |

This is sounding like the movie "Contact". | |

Bernie is correct. Those of us that support Seti just get on with it, we don't make a fuss about it. Feelgood value shouldn't be necessary for true crunchers, sadly it appears that it is. | |

I am getting SETI@home on both of my Linux boxes, MB on the HP laptop and ap on the SUN WS, with Lunatics optimized app. Now I shall fire up my Solaris Virtual machine to see if I can get a SETI@home app, with a BOINC client and SETI@home app by Dotsch. | |

This is very much like the movie Contact in that the SETI people are always struggling to get funding. Yet, let there be one confirmed signal providing evidence that we are not alone, and the funding will flow like a dam has broken open. That is the irony of SETI, that the funds will flow once you prove it, but without the funding you cannot prove it. | |

Yes there are problems, and these are largely due to the fact that the project suffers from a lack of resources. You can help them fix the problems by providing some additional resources to do so. This is why they are asking for help. Please do. | |
