I do SETI@home before, during and after imbibing and the law can't touch me! Yet... I wonder if and when they catch me being intoxicated at home, if doing SETI will count as community service.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe that intelligent life has evolved elsewhere in the universe. I do not believe that humans will make meaningful contact in my lifetime, but it doesn't hurt to look.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
