"A copy is just an identical image.
There is the possibility that a single virus could destroy an entire set of systems and copies do not give rise to variety and originality.
Life perpetuates itself through diversity and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary.
Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration until one day they die, obliterating an entire set of memory and information, only genes remain.
Why continually repeat this cycle? Simply to survive by avoiding the weaknesses of an unchanging system."

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
The first time I heard of SetI was in Febuary of 2000. I thought it was just a concept.
I was amazed by the fact that at last anyone with a computer and an internet connection could recive data from great telescopes and radiotelescopes !
The board or who ever realized that it was too much information to analyze. The concept of shared networking is definetely the idea of the future.
Not to think that we are to discover an alien signal right now, but to think that we alltogether started something new that will open gates for
all and will be used in the future intensively. That's why I talk about seti@home to friends, even if they ask me dumb questions like "Did you find those aliens yet?"
I dont think they realize at all the importance of it, 5,032,733 come togeter from all OSes on a sigal perpose.
Do you think extraterrestrial life exists?
Yes!! I do think that there may be life out there somewhere, maybe different from us, maybe the same as us.
Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find?
Yes, a Video of us as a people tring to reach a common goal.
Why do you run SETI@home? Why not?
I know I am one of millions of people who help crunch some alien data.
It gives people something to do and makes use of all those wasted processor cycles! If we find some data from ET's, then that's a bonus!
