I'm 19. I live in Sweden. I'm studying. I'm going to do military service in a couple of months, where I'll be a system technician, lasting 15 months. So during my military service I'll have my computer running SETI@home 24/7. I'm single. On my spare-time I'm reading alot, mostly fantasy/sf, listening to lots of music, playing computer-games, I'm with my friends etc. etc. and last but not least I'm programming in VB.
I run SETI@home on two computers, a 825MHz PIII/256Mb Ram with WinXPPro and a 600MHz Duron/128Mb Ram with Slackware Linux.
Live long and prosper!

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Well, I believe that there must be extraterrestrial life somewhere else in the universe, it's quite stupid to believe that our planet would be the only on in the universe with life on it. I don't know when we'll discover some proof of extraterrestrial life but I do know that SETI@home is one good way to do so. The benifits could be all the way from enormous for our society and planet to none, but of what sort it's impossible to say, dangers would be of the sort like some extraterrestrial diseases or maybe that they planly want to capture our planet.
2. Yes, we should transmit a beacon. It's one way of finding out if extraterrestrial life exists, and it ain't worse then all our tv- and radio-transmissions that go right out in space to god-knows-who. The information to be send should be of some basic information on how life on our planet is built up, with carbon, and other information regarding the known distances to other objects in our galaxy so that extraterrestrials, if they exist, could know where we are.
3. I run SETI@home because I do believe that we someday will find evidence of extraterrestrial life and want to be a part of the search. =) I think it's a good project and I hope that more people would like to use SETI@home on their own computers because there's so much unused computerpower in the world that could help. I would like to see more money put into this sort of research, especially money that's now only used to make weapons.
