I was born in England and am currently studying computer science.
Occasionally I find time to go sailing when the weather is nice.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
The statistical chances of other life being present in our universe persuades me to believe there is other life, intelligent or no.
I doubt that any intelligent ET life would consider talking to us unless we evolve beyond what we are at the moment. We are still just clever animals and have a far from assured future.
Look at the human genome and cancer projects as well as SETI....they're all equally deserving.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
