33, from Manchester, England. Retired network administrator. I race cars and build PC's - just love making things go faster. Currently running a P4 Willamette 2.2GHz and a P4 Northwood 2.42GHz both on RDRAM.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
We would be very self centered to believe that no other life exists in the universe.
Any other life with the possibility to detect us would have long since given up materialistic gains as it's driving force in society. If we don't do the same then we will never get off this rock and will be wiped out by the next big impact.
I run SETI@home because it interests me, is a no-cost extra while my PC's are in use and helps me stability test when cranking them up a bit.
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.
