I am currently working at ITT Tech here in Sacramento, CA fixing computers and solving problems as they arise during the day. I am currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in information systems security (aka how to be a white hat).
As of recently, I have been using Linux a lot more than I have been using windows. Actually, if it weren't for the games and multimedia options provided by MS Windows I would have no reason to continue using it. :)

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Theres no possible way that in the universe we are the only life forms.. what is all that other junk out there for if there aren't other life forms? just for us to look at during the night??? probabally not..
Humans may never discover life in the universe because we might not be looking in the right places or doing it the right way.. although seti is based on some very good ideas for finding life elsewhere, it is possible that we could come up short and not find anything..
the only problem i have with actually finding life, is how do we make them aware of our existence, assuming they dont know about us yet (another thing which is entirely possible)
and who says that life has to evolve to such a point that somthing possible of making decisons dominates the planet? most people seem to think that there will be aliens that are super advanced and our technology is so primative, but when you think of it, the fact that we have gotten this far (humans) to the point where we are able to build radio telescopes (or even radios for that matter) to look for life, thats quite an accomplishment. I'd say the odds are rather against any planet when it comes to evolution due to things such as asteroid impacts causing planetary extinction before life gets to the point were at here on earth.. I'd say if life does exist, its likely to be lower on the evolutionary chain, mabye not even to the point of primates or any land animals, just sea creatures and very primative plants (assuming that life forms on other planets like it did here).. keep this in mind we could get smacked with a asteroid right now, or in a minute, or in 1000 yrs, and be wiped out but have remains streaming throughout the universe in the form of radio, tv, and all sorts of electromagnetic waves.. What if in a few million years some planet nearly exactly like earth and there scanning the skies with there seti and found our million year old signal and thought we were still there.. the universe is a shooting gallery and everthings a target..
