Personal background
I am 42, married and own my own business. I collect, buy, sell stamps, coins and other collectibles. I am a member of the National Deep Sky Observers Society. Life got in the way to do much amateur astronomy. I am a BIG Star Trek fan. I like (the late great)- Carl Sagan, Monty Python, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and for music Barry Manilow.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
While I have always looked up since I was very young, Carl Sagan made sense out of technical jargon. SETI while some consider it a waste of time and money, it sure beats some of the things that money is wasted on nowadays. It gives us hope that one day we may find a mutual friend somewhere that will be able to help us with advanced diseases, technology and a lasting peace on Earth. As for the program? I think a lot of the addons and ways to implement them lack decent help pages. Some links are dead at last check. Maybe make SETI@home allow multiple instances and better user interface and help file. A way to process more than one WU at a time when the processor is not being used and automatically suspending all but one WU when processor activity continues.
