Seti@home is a great idea and brings us closer to discovering new life in the universe. I like how you can print out certificates for each milestone you have passed. It brings you to the next level of loserism.
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.
