Personal background
Hi, I'm deep into Roman history especially here in the UK. I've been building up a web site for a local Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall, namely Segedunum (Wallsend). www.segedunum.com
I am a loyal follower of Newcastle United and one day - yes, one day!! - we'll win the Premiership. That day will come sooner rather than later!!!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Aliens? Well, there has to be a few out there somewhere. I think we're pretty dumb if we think there aren't any little buddies to be found in some part of our galaxy or elsewhere for that matter. Let's hope it's an individual from this project that finds them. BENEFITS? Maybe we can sign them up for the Toon Army..!!! DANGERS? Maybe Arsenal will sign them first and they'll all speak French (no offence to the French!). Seriously, we could advance humankind in a multitude of ways - technology, behaviour, knowledge - it's endless. Or we could be taken for granted and used in a variety of unimaginable ways!!!
2. Yes, we should transmit. Humans are an adventurous race and always curious of the unknown so why not? Send all possible information - highlight the good, the bad and the ugly. It's no good telling them all positive things until they arrive and they find out we're a warring civilisation.
3. To find aliens! My view of the project is that it can do no harm and one day might just prove the catalyst to something wonderful for humankind..!!
Suggestions? Yes, why is it that one person can have his PC running all day to complete units to be one of the most active users only to find corporate folk are 735 million units ahead of him/her even when they've been on the project less time? I know they've got mega PC's etc etc but it would be fairer to categorise them wouldn't you think?
