Here's hoping they gain further worldwide interest and the budget to rebuild soon and new tech better!

Hi. Please help world community grid, its very important. All together we are going to speed up doctors' research. |

I am running their tasks and getting badges from Bronze to Ruby. The next ones should be Sapphire and Emerald, I believe. Why not Diamonds, which are a girl's best friends? Tullio |

They do. Diamonds are for 5 & more years of total run time. |

Today 1yr ago S@H stopped sending new work for us to crunch. Someone should host a party to mark the event. I hope all have found new worthwhile projects to help. |

A sad day , we shall remember it. |

I am running WorldCommunityGrid and getting a lot of Badges, from Bronze to Emerald so far. I hope to get some Diamonds in due time. IBM is good at marketing. Tullio |

Yes, we are faithfully processing other Projects! But no other project is as seminal (!) as looking for alien civilizations! There is just a certain ineffable, dashing excellence about looking for LGM (E.T.) as a member of a giant superbly organized worldwide Terran Cognitive Network! seti@home shall return with even more amazingly efficient software on ever faster computing devices {in far greater numbers} to find those cute elusive little critters! |

Today, after a long time, looked in again and what had my sad eyes read: it´s over! Memories come back. How it all began, how I started with home-made computers that are now outbid by every cheap smartphone ... how exciting was the time at the beginning of the millennium. Films like "Contact" were very inspiring and motivated to take part in this great project. I understand the reasons, but it still makes me sad that this era has now come to an end - for the time being? |

Well, poop. I swear I'm always the last one to find out about these things. I get why s@h was paused, but it's still a bummer. I've been a participant for over 20 years now, and I'm surprisingly rather sad that it's over now. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to find a new screensaver now... |

Sad to hear but glad to keep in touch. Space exploration is more exciting than ever. |

I class this as the biggest con in the history of computing. They took our processor time, interest and enthusiasm, and I call it exploitation pure and simple. They even blagged money off us, overall appalling. |

I class this as the biggest con in the history of computing. They took our processor time, interest and enthusiasm, and I call it exploitation pure and simple. They even blagged money off us, overall appalling. From the beginning, they advised that no findings were possible, there are no con here. All the computations made were to a try on finding signals. I understand the dissapointment (it would be preferable a detection than a non-detection). I suggest you to support other projects that are producing results right now, such as Einstein@home or Rosetta@home, instead of others without a granted outcome. Regards, YAG |
