At first, sorry for my English :)
I was born in 1979 in USSR(Russia). Now live in Moscow. Learned in MEPhI on Cybernetic faculty. I like science fiction and when i knew about this project i connect my computer to it.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1) Of course exist. I think that we will discover extraterrestial life when she will want it. I know English very bad to discuss about this theme.
2) I think that we must transmit beacon only when we can fly around stars - not want to be little brother. Some periodic signals.
3) I want to participate in this project. And I sleep at night, and my computer not :)
Suggestions only for interface - it make be colorless.
