| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
1. Do you think there's something out there? Yes! Amongst so many zillion stars there's bound to be another planet with intelligent life.
2. How to contact eventual aliens? Let's not use world news as it is...or TV as it's speeding along the galaxy at this very moment. It might be to late to stop this however...
3. How/Why use Seti@Home? Amongst other things: As benchmark program! The faster the better! 3 hours now with an Athlon XP2000, 8 hours before with a Duron 750 on an ASUS A7V-E, before that 20 hours with an AMD K6-3 450 on an DFI K6BV3/66. The older pc's still run seti being family pc's nowadays. My collection of junked pc's was steadily being rebuilded into a seti-park (lots of Pentium-1's still will give you a decent score), but my energy bill ran too high...
Why not use the international ISO-codes for the countries?
The list of members from some countries are a bit suspicious (I live in the Netherlands, ISO-code 031 and suddenly I found myself back on the British Virgin Islands (no complaints there by the way, I just love British Virgins, could have ended up far worse I suppose...sorry Ladies!), but I discovered lots of other Dutch people there, and also amongst the North-Korean members!) |
