YES most definitely...something is out there and we will eventually find it.

But why? Seems to me that its an awfull lot of resouces spent on somthing that can never offer any real benefit to humanity. Having said that I should add, it sure is fun though, and you cant argue with fact that seti led to boinc and boinc showed the world and the scientific community what distributed volenteer computing is capable of.

ps I Know, 2 or 3 letters. But that rule has allready been broken. and as the only NO vote(see earlier post[only 2 letters]) I was feeling a bit lonley and intimidated. .... so I'm babbleing, ...... so I'll stop now......

You are saying that aliens or ET will not benefit humanity? I disagree. There would me a lot of technology and stuff that we can exchange etc...

How? You really think you will be able to call them back the minuet the signel is found.I understand this is a common misconception, but unfortunatly comunication of any sort would be impossible due to the fact that any comunication would have a round trip time of many many thousands of years.
not to mention that the species that sent the signel may well be extinct by the time it reaches us and we as a species will probably be long gone by the time any reply we send found its way back. Im afraid this i just one of the many reasons why comunication will never happen.

Why will communication never happen?
See this old BBC story, Teleportation goes long distance and if the distances can be increased (by a very large amount), we can have instantaneous secure comms.

YES

Credits will not be done away with, This is a silly subject that shouldn't have ever been started.

I think this is just a poll to see who's in it for the credits (or game aspect of it) and who's in it for the science (or the discovery aspect of it).

YES

Seti searches for radio signals, therefore in the non to probable event of such a signal being found it is certain to be hundreds of thousands of years if not millions of years old so it is unlikely E.T. will be hanging on the line waiting for a reply. As for the technology you speak of it is it's infancy to say the least and it's use for vocal communication has not seriously been considered. I am afraid the most we can hope for from seti is(if we are very lucky) an indication that at some point in the past there was intelligent life somwhere else in the gallaxy (That and a reliable download/upload)

If someone's computer is going to make the most important discovery in the history of man, I want that computer to be mine!

This is a YES or NO question!!!

If you add anything other that YES or NO, bad for you. 2 or 3 letters. 3 for YES, 2 for NO. Here it is.

If SETI didn't give "credits" would you still do it???

Remember YES, or NO only, not justification either way. 2 or 3 letters, YES or NO.

(EDIT) A lot of folks have visited this post without a vote, please vote either way, no hard feelings either way.

Very likely

I like credits because they show that something happened.

I don't care about them very much, because they are almost completely meaningless.

Getting upset because you should have received 60 "nothings" and got 30 "nothings" instead is a waste.
