Personal background

N45°31' W073°35' /- 30' (that's Montreal, not Kansas, to you Dorothy...)B.Sc. Physics. AMD Athlon XP 1700 /256Mb ram running CLI client w SetiSpy v.3.1.1 frontend.


Now, I was wondering... Bad: what about DSB-SC ? Worse: what about spread spectrum? Worcest: what about spread Cheez-Whiz with Worcestershire sauce?


Due to my previous running of the client eons ago, on my speedy 486-33/16mb, my actual average is degraded.


Picture:
Yikes! The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! Quick, find someplace to hide!


About running the software: it reminds so much of Howard Hughes's Glomar Explorer. Grandiose and promising, the spirit of exploration and entreprise, opening new possibilities and discoveries!


You should Google-out for the words: Glomar Explorer CIA
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home

1) the God of the Odds is with us.


2) Because the nature of life is to seek value and because all species have differing natures, they have differing values.


Being considered as "friendly" or "tasty" is only a matter of odds about who exactly we meet, if ever it happens. So, I'd say, let's exchange handshakes and go to the pipe ceremony, but we shouldn't check our Smith&Wesson at the door (that is, a year 2050 S&W). Si vis pacem para bellum.


3) because I'm naive and a sucker for gizmos/software and fun science like that; because I desperately want to delude myself that it is for real.


Because my PGP keyring passphrase is probably long since cracked, or my passphrases stolen out, so who cares ?


BTW, "Security by obscurity" ain't security at all, at least not in Kansas Dorothy.
