| Personal background |
|---|
| I'm a college student/computer consultant from Cleburne, Texas. I've been using computers since I was about 10 years old, and I have been building my own systems for the past 5 years. Some other interests of mine are cars, dirt bikes, electronics, and of course video games. I've been using Seti@home since a friend of mine showed it to me a couple of years ago. The only times I don't use it is on overclocked systems, because it usually makes them stay too hot for too long. The system I am currently using is a Pentium 4 (northwood core) at 1.6GHZ, but sometimes I run it over 2GHZ. My motherboard is an ASUS P4T-E with 256MB of 400MHZ RDRAM. |

I think Seti@home is an excellent project and other organizations that need a lot of CPU power should consider a similar system. I do believe there is extraterrestrial life simply because the universe is too friggin' big to only have one planet with life on it! But, I also believe that if an alien race were going to put up a beacon for other beings to notice, it wouldn't be on some obscure ultra high frequency. It would probably be on a large spectrum of frequencies and very powerful. As for us humans putting out a beacon for aliens to hear, I don't think it's necessary. We're already noisy enough! Aliens will be hearing our radio stations and seeing our TV probably even long after we're gone. Or maybe they already are, and that's why they DON'T want to contact us! :> Who knows?
