Personal background
I was born in The Hague, the Netherlands, I am 48 years old. My occupation is Configuration engineer in a medium size software company.
One of my hobbies is (obviously) Science Fiction. Startrek is my favourite show.
I am a single dad (3 kids, 2 of which were adopted from Sri Lanka).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Sure, extraterrestrial life exists. Why not? Are we that arrogant to even think we are alone? I don't think we will ever find any though. Not in my lifetime, our technology level simply does not allow it.
If so, I'm not sure we would be that safe, although I think it will be not as bad as 'Independence day' would like us to believe.
I think putting all those stupid computers at my job at work while doing nothing is OK. A collegue pointed me to SETI@home while on a (work) visit to the US.
