Hey folks,
I'm 34, from Seattle but currently living in LongBeach, CA. I recently got my BS in computer science. I like computers, I guess. Better than a cat I suppose and easier to clean up after. Before getting into computers I ran car washes, was a baker, a fisherman, machinist, underwear knitter, mail clerk, cook, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember. When I was in my early teens I got a Commodore64. Pure electronic heroin. I guess that is what hooked me to computers and why I came back around to them. I enjoy programming and figuring out interesting little problems and how stuff works. I listen to a lot of internet radio. It's unfortunate that RIAA has pressured government to shut down most internet radio stations this summer. More social decline, film at eleven. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Well I really think this project has little hope detecting intelligent life. Given what we know. The variables are just too much and its like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although experts revise the probabilty every so often that more possible life exists out there than earlier believed, its still a big pond we live in.
We on earth broadcast a lot of information into space with our media and electronics while we listen to only a fraction of whats out there. A fool talks while a wiseman listens, or something like that. In a predator/prey model of life as we are familiar with, the advantage rarely goes to the either the predator or the prey if they are noisy. What's this say about our chances of finding extraterrestrial life before it finds us, and then if it does find us, what is it's most likely purpose.
Frankly, I run the seti@home program because it runs my CPU a little hotter than if it was idling. This extra energy usage is responsible for burning some fossil fuel somewhere in the world thus creating greenhouse gases and contributing the rise in climate temperates worldwide. Probably moving the climate toward a more desirable alien predator habitat. |
