Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Don't think that it's likely that we have the technology to find an "advanced" civilization, but we should look using the tools which we have at our disposal anyway.
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.
