Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes, E.T. exists. It'll take another 50 years, and we'll find it just the way we're expecting to find it. Benefits are enormous, dangers are enormous. Worth the risk? Yes.
We already have transmitted a beacon (of sorts) for others to find. What we've sent might make us look a little primitive, I'm afraid.
I run SETI@home to give our computers something to do. I love to see fast computers do 2 or 3 workunits in an 8-hour stretch at work, but don't mind that slower home computers take quite a bit longer to finish one. That's okay, still helping the project. Wish there was a command-line version for Mac 9x, but don't really expect to see one. That's okay, too.
