Profile: Dean Steinman

Personal background
55 years of age (48 in photo). Grew up on an Ohio farm, 13, moved to Indiana town, Garrett, drafted, Viet Nam, Panama, Ft. Wayne, Washington DC. Computer Science in college, played with a 360 terminal, Cromemco Z80- M/PM, piloted a 3Com 501 network at the World Bank, contractor and now government IT worker. In 1994 I wrote a distributed processing application in NCL that ran on over 100 Novell 3.x servers. The 100 plus servers were evenly dispersed over three hub-servers in a WAN. One of the hub-servers controlled the job flow of sending the data and the associated application to process the data to the other hub-servers. Remote servers polled their hub-servers for tasks to execute. All processed data was returned to the control hub-server. Kinda like Seti@home a little like B O I N C ??? I have 18 computers in my home network just for fun. Some are running Seti@home.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
To meet other beings in the universe we must speak (listen) their language. Conventional radio is not our ticket for acceptance/recognition into the Universal community. I asked my older brother, an electrical engineer, how might he build such a communications device, "I would start with Subspace emitters coupled with lubricated nannite facilitators. The rest should be easy." Take a look at the timeline: Copernicus, Divinci, Wright, Roswell, Wright-Patterson AFB, Area 51, Steinman, Chochrane, Archer, Pike, Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Cisco. Our next step is subspace radio. The sound barrier is unbreakable. Yeager's 22-long-rifle led him to believe not so so he and the Bell X1 went zoom-boom and then faster, and faster. Nothing is faster than the speed of light. Who said! ... remember sound. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Gotta go now, I'm lookin' for nannites.
