Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
*SETI asks: Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will humans discover it? What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?

-0: The Universe as vast as it is, It would be Impossible to rule out the theory of extraterrestrial life. How we will discover it remains to be seen. The benefits and dangers of such a discovery? - look back in history to our own early explorers many of them did not just "explore" they dominated and conquered. Usually looking to deplete them of a known resource, some leading to exstinction of that race. The possible benefits however. could be to the extent of our imagination.

*SETI asks: should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what information should we send?

Yes, The Information should be a message of peace. and a warning to danger.

*SETI asks: Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project? Any suggestions?

SETI@home is a remarkable project, many others in the future should model themselves on. Distributed Computing Programs like SETI, allowing many "public" computers to work together on projects. (note) Peer to Peer projects come to mind. SETI spawns the birth of ideas and imagination. In the future we may depend on these types of Distributed Models. In todays world of a "CPU" in every household, "we the people" when linked together as a whole, can make up one GIANT computer network capable of mass scale number crunching! .....UNREAL!
