I'm a CIS (computer information systems) student at Bradley University in Peoria IL, USA.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
People aren't in this for the scientific purpose, they're only using it as a continuous benchmark for witty comments such as "I crunch 11 WU's a day on my P2-200 overclocked to 950 with 2.048 Gigabytes of ram".......
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.
