| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
How?
I learned about Seti@home from a few friends of mine who were running it, then I found out my boss at work was running it on some of the computers at work. So then it became sort of a contest with my boss to see who could process the most packets. But unfortunatly my boss was removed a few month ago so now I have take over some of the computers at work...all of them running Seti@home command-line.
I believe more people should use seti@home because there is alot of processor power that is not being used. I mean I got to a school were if you don't own a computer you are strange, and most of the computers on campus run all the time. So when they're not in use they are doing nothing. I, personally, have two computers right now one is a 700Mhz athlon that can uselly proccess about two files a day. Then there is my linux box, a 133Mhz pentium, wich can proccess 1 file every 40 hours or so.
Conclusion!
Well to sorta wrap things up I think there is life out there some were and when I think about it a quote from Contact, "There are 100 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, to think that ours is the only one with life on it, what a waste of space." I think it is very important that we find other life in our universe, if not for us as humans then for the earth. It's seems we are determined to rip everything we can from this planet and I think the only thing that will help us is a, hopefully, more advanced planet that can teach us how not to destroy everything. |
