Hi,
I live in Hungary, doing some PhD research at this moment (area: image processing).
Machines doing the work for me: Barton 2800 (~6h/day), P4@1.8 Willamette fsb400 (20-24h/day).

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Not completely conviced, but deffinitely not against it. Plainly stated: yes, I think "Close Encounters of 3rd kind" will happen one day, I just can't really believe it could happen any time soon.
Benefits ? Dunno, maybe some new sorts of beer :)
Dangers ? They possibly could hate us for being so under- or over-developed (doesn't matter which) compared to them. And the same could possibly be true for us (am I too pessimistic here ? :)
So maybe one shouldn't pay so much attention for the possible benefits/dangers, because we could get so enormously paranoid, that we would shoot them in the face when we see them :)
2. I don't think so. At least not until we know at least approximately that we send it to the right place. Else it would be just a waste of time and resources (IMHO whatever).
3. Just wanna take part :) in whatever common peeps can do in this matter. And what common people can do int his matter is really not much :)) So Seti@Home is a good way of making us/me feel that we are a part of a project that _could_ (whatever minor the chance) lead to some success.
Suggestions: not much. Oh yeah, try to buy more time at Arecibo :)
