I am an Electrical Engineer from San Antonio Texas. I think this is one of the most important issues of our time to study, and I am happy to help.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1.Yes, but is it intelligent?
2.Good question. Maybe we should keep our heads down, we don't know if the universe is friendly yet.
3.I think that its a very important issue. I also like the idea of parallel computing.
