Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have always been a fan of the SETI project, I can still remember the media coverage when it first on line. I have always believed that there is something out there. Statistically, it is impossible for there not to be. I very much doubt that they/it would be humanoid, given the myriad combinations of environment out there, but then again, with those sort of numbers anything is possible.

The only problem I have had so far is finding information od setting up the various accounts.
I am tearing my hair out at the moment, because when the BOINC screensaver tries to start, I get a message telling me the desktop is locked and to release it. So far I have not been able to find any mention of locked desktops anywhere.
The moral, maybe a little more guidance on setting up, not everyone is a university graduate in computing.

Apart from that one niggle, I think you have a good looking site, though somewhat out of date with the info.
