I am a 39 year old (well at the time of writing anyway) former member of the British armed forces now working for Amazon in the UK
I finally got around to using some of the spare computing power of both my desktop pc's (my main being an 8 physical cored behemoth) and my Kindle device.
My major hobbys include my pc's of which I own my own network of 3 pc's
I take great delight in tinkering with the inards of my pc and to that end they have had more RAM than a field of sheep!
I also enjoy wargaming, role play games and live action role play playing here in the UK
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Do extraterrestrials exist?
I am not deluded enough to think that we on this planet are the only entities that exist in the whole of the universe. So to that end yes I do think that there are other forms of life out there.
Will we find life outside of our own?
prehaps, but it is the search that drives us not the extent of our success.
I feel that prehaps we are still to violent within our own race to be in contact with any other race
I feel that we should transmit a beacon out if only to allow others out in the big wide expanse of space to gauge how the race of man is developing to allow them to decide when we are ready to contacted
with this in mind I feel that we should transmit world news out let those out there see us for what we are let them see us at our best and at our worst for only then can we be judged as we truely are.
