Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run seti for fun and to see my name move (slowly) up the tables. I've also had a few hits off it, so it's not a total waste of time :) Other than that I think seti is probably pointless; there's very likely intelligent life out there but I suspect they have long since abandoned 'primitive' electromagnetic waves for communication and are using something FTL and more efficient that we haven't even discovered yet. The same arguement applies to transmitting our own signal. OTOH it's probably worth looking; we'd all feel pretty stupid if the signal was there and we missed it 'cos nobody happened to be listening!
Update; I've given up running seti@home. It's become a depressing reminder of how old and slow all my computers are.
