Hi!
My name is Richard Hafner. I live in Germany and doing my dream work in my own office earning a lot of money for doing easy things. This enables me to buy big and fast computers I never need. Thus the computers will help Seti@Home finding aliens.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I am absolutely sure that extraterristrial life exists. But I am as sure that it would be VERY hard for the mankind to find them. But you should try it or they will do so.
I think that humand should definitely transmit signal of life since this makes it easier for others to find us which will happen sooner or later anyways. We should send several signals of different meanings.
- A signal that indicates that this is an artificial signal (prime pulses)
- A signal that helps to find out how to decode and understand the following signals.
- One signal that describes how we are able to recieve and understand signals from "them"
- One signal that describes the mankind, nature and our extraterristrial environment.
I run seti because
- i am fascinated from the idea if beeing not alone.
- i want to contribute what remains to instances that can use it.
- i dont like to see my systems idle.
- i like to participate to the biggest distrubuted computing instance ever
