Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
To be honest, just between you and I (so don't tell anybody), I don't really give the Seti@Home project much of a chance. I don't believe that the odds are in its favour. But I would like to leave this world a better place for my daughter, and if this project is even marginally successful it would change everything. The proletariat doesn't like change and massive wars of religious / philosophical cleansing would undoubtedly result. I would like to be a part of that as it would fit in well with my master plan of global depopulation and intellectual conquest over the human race. Much better than my Soylent Green idea! Only then will I see mankind reach its full and penultimate potential physically, intellectually, and spiritually.

Behold the beginning of the New Dynasty! Muhuhahahahaha!

I also am very happy, as a computer hobbyist and self-employed technician, to support grass-roots distributed processing (formerly referred to as "grid" computing), and to see other more practical offshoot distributed processing projects showing such success, such as the the former RC54 project, golomb ruler, PIES, as well as the medical projects (drug, virus, genome, etc.).

I've not yet seen a solar system simulator project. That would be cool.

Happy solar sailing!
