Why do you run SETI@home?
I think its a good way to use idle cpu cycles on computers
that must be on 24/7
I think the chance of finding any et signal is small, but
its like buying a lottery ticket, the chances of a win are
astronimical (pun intended ;) but if you don't buy that
ticket you can't win!
Thoughts about ETI
I would take the paranoid approach, the mouse don't send
any (more) signals until we knows where all the cats are!
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.
