| Personal background |
|---|
I'm a 17 year old geek from a small Wisconsin town. Not a great place to be a geek, but I managed and the town finally got DSL!
I like to read books on electronic anything, books on programming, and sci-fi books.
I'm a junior in high school, and I've been taking courses at a local Tech College since my freshman year of high school. I want to mainly focus on the programming aspect of that degree, but I definately want a lot of hardware/networking information involved with it. |

I most definately believe there is extraterrestrial life out there. Humans will most likely discover it by having ET come to this planet, or somehow contacting it from this solar system. Of course, as a true sci-fi fan I believe a discovery like that would help mankind greatly.
I do not believe humans should transmit a beacon of any sort. Simply because, who's to say aliens even use that type of transmissions and/or frequencies. I feel it's simply not worth investing resources into that, especially since it have great limitations.
I run SETI@home simply because I like to have my computer doing something with the extra processing power. I built the computer from scratch and I want to use the nice processor I stuck in it. :) I really don't believe this project is going to contact or receive transmissions from alien life. It could sure pick up anomalies from celestrial activity and other non-intentional objects, but I doubt highly about anything intentionally transmitted.
My only suggestion would be to keep the range of frequencies and waves extremely wide to have any hope of ET contact. |
