Personal background
About me?... Just a fourteen-year kiddie from Craiova, Romania. I know we romanians are known mostly because of the frauds (not only our hackers / hacker-wannabees). You programmers out there never heard of Mihai Patrascu?...
Again, I'm just a kid, who likes maths and programming - I won for several times our national contests. And in the mean time I'm always searching for new things (like ET :-)).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I am sure that extraterrestrial life exists somewhere out there, but I don't think we have the technology to detect it. I know that, theoretically at least, we can't go beyond the speed of light, yet I still belive there is something more, like space folding (no, I didn't watch too many movies, even if I liked "Close Encounters of the Third Grade"). However, we can use projects like SETI to detect other civilisations that are not too advanced... civilisations that probably no longer exist at this moment. For the same reason, we should send a radio beacon, because the Universe is infinite in space and time and there are/will be other civilisations like ours. I wonder what they would feel like if they would get our last echo, bilions of years after our death.
About SETI@home, I am aware of the posibilities of the distributed processing and I am trying to help this search as much as I can. I want to install it on the computers from my school, because I have just an old K6 333 and it takes me about two weeks to finish a work unit.
Suggestions/bugs? Yeah, I would like to send you some screenshots I made after the screensaver kicked in... And how about a "Change password" option?
