This will run mainly on my dual P3-500 Slackware server, since it is always on. It also runs on my AMD 3200+ laptop, since it's the fastest machine I own, but that isn't left on 24/7.
I started in computers as a hobby by building my own, at the time fast, 486/DX25. Since then I've upgraded severalfold and started working in the computer industry. After the dot-bomb, I've been crawling my way back up; It seems I didn't quite have enough experience to get back into the tech field but I am currently in school working on my associate degree and my skillset, so hopefully that will change. If anyone has seen me over at www.linuxquestions.org, hopefully my computer skills are prominent in my postings. Currently, my fastest home system is an Athelon 900, which in some ways is a tossup with my dual P3/500 server for raw power although it has a sweet enough nVidia card to put my 3200+ laptop and it's garbage ATI mobile card to shame in certain games.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| It's just too darn big of a universe for us to be alone, there has to be something else out there that qualifies as life and/or higher intellect. I would think intelligent life at our stage of civilization would stick out like a sore thumb though, our little rock has tons of man made satellite and emits an amazing amout of radio waves, other civilizations should be visible or at least notice us and come say hello. If it's just us, what a waste of space. Or am I in some oversized reality show ala The Truman Show or having my body pumped for fuel ala The Matrix? Either way, my server runs 24x7 so it may as well do something useful when I'm not using it. |
