| Personal background |
|---|
| I am a seventeen year old male from Collierville, TN, and a junior at Christian Brothers High School. I'm interested in astrology, physics, chemistry, and any other kind of science other than biology. I like to backpack, rock climb, mountain bike, wrestle, go mudding in and work on my jeep, hang out w/ friends, run XC and track, build RC trucks, surf the internet, etc. I like almost anything that has to do w/ NASA; I also enjoy reading Steven Hawking's books and others on the same topics. I have a Gateway AMD AthlonXP 2000 , 1.7 GHz, 384mb, Windows XP pro, and RR. I also have an older, slower PII 233mhz, 160mb comp. running downstairs, so that is why the average comp. time is so high. I'm hoping to build(i have a few various parts such as the mobo and HD's) a server comp. sometime soon(P4 1gig , 384mb, WinXP pro), which will be mainly running SETI@home 24/7, and also just for fun. If you want, you can join my group, NeXeA500, i would really appreciate it, other members are: NeXeA500 and Takoma. Thanks. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I do believe it exists, but i think there's a good chance that they are not currently advanced enough to communicate w/ us, and are probably fairly primitive. I'm not sure exactly how we will discover it, but i believe it will most likely be through extra-solar expeditions in the somewhat near future. I think SETI is a good idea though b/c it provides a way for us to scan the skies for ET life, and it also gives a lot of people hope in knowing that so many other people share the same idea that life does exist out there as they do. I don't think they will pose a whole lot of danger to us, unless they're some sort of extremely contagious, killer bacteria. I think sending out a beacon is a pretty good idea, although, by the time it reaches any thing out there, we will probably have already achieved the technology needed to find ET life. I believe we should send some kind of mix of picture information and audio of a human talking in very simple sentences and making hand motions and all to go along w/ what he's saying, but that's just me. I run SETI b/c i do believe there is life out there, and this is a good way to begin searching for it, and once we find some proof, it will start a big chain reaction of funding and such to find more life. I don't really have any problems w/ SETI@home, but i would prefer it if you could make it an option to allow it to use a lot more memory(i have 384mb) when the user prefers, such as if he is going away from his computer for a long time, he can set it like this to increase the speed and all. If this is possible, i would like to maybe see this option in future versions of SETI. Thank you. |
