Country: Denmark
Occupation: Programmer In my everyday life I work as a programmer for an internet bureau. I have been working with the web and programming since 1995, and enjoy it immensly.
My spare time is spent with my girlfriend, my little son ,and my computers. I have 4 computers at home, all running setiathome, and Im thinking of getting another computer just so I can process more work units :). I like to cook, not the everyday cooking, but when we have guests and something special have to be done, then I love being in the kithcen all day. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I think it is improbable that in a universe as large as the scientist tell us it is, that life only have evolved to an intelligent state
on one planet, amongst trillions in the galaxy,
in one galaxy amongst trillions in the universe.
The odds ought to make any bookmaker go crazy in anticipation of the winns/looses in the event it was proven or not.
I have read so many science fiction novells, that I would have to be crazy to not believing that extraterrestrial life really exists.
If humans ever find out whether or not "they are out there", then our whole perception of life must be thought over once more, because, here we are: Humans, Top of the food chain.
Chances are that if any ET's ever come to earth, then they are lightyears ahead of us in development, and probably just as ignorant of lesser species as we have been, and still are at large.
Our best chance to survive any encounter with ET's would have to be in a couple of hundred years when we hopefully have colonized the suitable planets in the solarsystem, and our technology have evolved to a state where no race could look at us and think lesser beings.
On the other hand, we could be lucky that a race of space faring benefactors just stumbles upon earth, and helps us with the ecological disaster that are getting closer and closer.
The ET's would help us with that, as they would provide us with plans for building a non polluting power plant, and other technologies that would help the entire world.
I run SETI@home because I think it would be cool if I was the one who helped discover the truth, and because I think the project is the way to go if you have massive computing needs. I just wonder why there arent some people that does the same with some really important things, like finding the cure for cancer. Not to be rude, but that stuff is more important than finding ET's.
Considering your recent bandwidth problems, you should consider distributing the part of the project which hands out the packets. |
