Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Great project, interesting goal, and everyone wants to become famous for this.

Also a good use of distributed computing power, which I believe to be a real future power if people come together and use it. Imagine if distributed computer power was built in at operating system level, we'd have cured cancer, designed bigger better interstellar technology. The possibilities are endless since almost every computer in this world is being underused at some stage in its life.

I don't believe in transmitting information on purpose for other lifeforms, as if they are intelligent enough they will do the same as us and look for others. It is about our/their own intelligence and ability to find information, rather that to throw out information in a dim hope.
