An 18 year old Icelandic college student, selflessly donating CPU to solve the mysteries of crop circles. (Because we -all- know it's them cows that be doin' it, yep.)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1) Why do I run SETI@home? To help. CPU that's not being used is being wasted, and knowing I can actually donate the CPU I don't need to a good scientific cause gives me a happy warm tingly feeling that I certainly don't mind.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
