I'm IT manager. I started to play with computers at 8 years old (I'm 43 now). So, well, IT is all my life.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Another IT for ET :)
I'm convinced we're not alone in this big space. The probability that we cross the path of another civilization is nearly 0. But nearly is not 0. So go on. My suggest : a big reward for who find the alien ;)
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.
