Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have been analysing data almost since it was release to the public. I think this is one of the most benificial uses of spare computing power and distributed technology that I have seen out their, except maybe genetic sequencing.

I think that this question has to be answered and it is just a matter of time before it is answered. I think this would just show that we are not alone in the world and that we can't think of ourselves as the only intelligence out here.

1: Yes, their is life out their. It would be bad if it was announced, it would change a lot of peoples beliefs and most people do not like change.

2: Yes we should, their could be another civillization out their looking right now for us...wouldn't that be funny, we are scanning for them, and they are scanning for us and neither is sending out a signal to show we are here. The information that I think I would send would be just basic information, like math. That would at least answer the question for the other civilization that we are here and intelligent.

3: Why not, I always wondered if something else was out their so I am doing my part with 3 computers to answer that question.

I have two suggestion for improvments:
a) would be to blank out the screen after 5 minutes as I noticed on my work station at work, that the data that is always their like the frames, has burned my monitor a bit.
b) Automatic Updates for the client, or at least a notice that their is a newer version available.

Cheers,

Jon
