I find distributed computing interesting (in a non geeky way).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Im not entirely sure ET life exists. If it did, the chances are we would not be able to contact them i reckon (think about evolution, we have been on this planet for millions of years, but have only recently been able to communicate. Chances are in another million years, the human race will have been wiped out by a killer virus or something). Considering this time window, and assuming another species of ET has to evolve in the same fashion, and communicate successfully. Basically i dont rank this as being very probable.

I reckon ET does/has existed on other worlds. We cant go and look easily though :/

Might as well build a beacon ... maybe on another planet ? or an asteroid or something? There needs to be long term proof of our existance after the human race becomes extinct (which I believe will eventually happen)

I dont know why I run seti really, I like the little milestone pictures, and I also hate Equate he is a tool, so can someone knock him from first place please? :)
