I´m a student from Czech Republic.
My hobbies are computer graphic, linux and of course crunching SETI. Last 14 days I put SETI clients on few computers in our school :-).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1)I think there have to be some, but still need mor advance to find it.
I thought that we could endanger us by discovering some really evil aliens :-D.
2) Humans has already send some beacons...
3) Because I´m interested in extraterestrial live :)
I have only one suggestion.
Could someone optimize the client for windows. Its really horrible. Under WinXP I make on WU nearly 20 hours, under Linux on the same machine I make it only 5 hours.
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.
