Hi, Andy here (18, UK, @Birmingham Uni).
I originally decided to run Seti@Home because i was fed-up with my pc box slacking-off on those rare occasions i went to sleep. I hate it if my pc is putting in less than its best at anything (i am a compulsive overclocker & upgrader). So in order to stop my box from being a lazy bum, i decided to get it a job. I thought long & hard to think of a task i could give it that would stop the little blighter from ever having the opportunity to slack-off & finally it came to me! ~ So i set down the decree "Find & prove the existance of extra-terrestrial life in the universe." Naturally, this shut the little blighter right-up! Never again will it waste those precious cpu cycels running that pet-hate of mine, the Microsoft 'System Idle Process', which i am personally convinced is actually the worlds first instance of artificial life. This little process has systematically copied itself across every microsoft-based operating system since the dawn of modern computing and is almost impossible to kill! Currently, the only effective way of removing this little blighter from your PC is to maxx-it-out, preferably by running Seti (a far-more friendly & productive little program). So i call upon all pc users to unite together to kill of the pest that is the cpu idle process! - Run Seti@Home! |

Personally, giving the immense size of the universe, i can't see how its possible for life to Not exist somewhere else!
I think we may as well transmit a beacon for other life to listen-out for. To be honest, i find it doubtful that any race will have the ability to visit us, given that its fairly obvious there is no intellegent life in our local space postcode (if there was, we'd probably have noticed something by now). If there was any life from futher afield would take many thousands of years to get to us. If they did have the technology to get to us and were freindly, that must be good for humanity, and if they were mean aliens & enslaved us, it wound serve us right for broadcasting to them where we lived anyhow! |
