I am an Associate Electronics Design Engineer for a large corporation. I have a small collection of computers witch I intend someday to make into a cluster. I just haven't found the app I want to run on it yet.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Of course Extraterrestrial life exists. It is likely to be found in every corner of the galaxay. Most of them don't have radio telescopes though. I don't believe we'll find ET here. It's just the only game in town.
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.
