Operating on my own computers, it's surprising I've got this far. 5,000WU was recently passed. Wow!
For my first year, I didn't much care for S@H. I ran the screensaver on very slow hardware. 120WU in a year. I then joined Team Ars Technica Lamb Chop, and their forum. I now do that 120WU in a week.
Join a group with an active forum. They will mentor you and help you get the most out of what you have.
Recently, I joined the Team Ars Technica Lamb Chop website team to complement my already established website at http://sushi.dbestern.net
Visit us at http://www.teamlambchop.com - We're the best SETI@Home resource out there, don't just take my word for it. We're the most powerful S@H team (group) there is. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

SETI@Home makes an ideal burn in test and a fine benchmark. Not only is it CPU dependent, it also depends on high quality fast RAM and it really stresses the CPU, FSB, Northbridge and RAM. However, it cannot detect flawed hardware in the same way that Prime95 (for example) can. Sword. Two sides.
On the scientific side, I am intrigued by the sheer foolhardiness of the SETI@Home project. ET is certainly out there, one must overcome the natural human self importance to realize that we are pretty much insignificant, except to ourselves, and that other races do exist and may be commonplace. To them, we ourselves are ET. Maybe they have their own SETI@Home project.
Reducing the Drake Equation using current estimations gives us that the number of detectable intelligent civilizations is equal to the number of years they last. We have detected none so far... |
