Well I live in Michigan, a friend of mine got me started on SETI@home. (Jerk) Now that I have it running as a service (thanks tungsram) it seems to be running better.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yeah I think "ET" is out there. Hell if I was "ET" and I was spying on this planet I am not sure that I would want to show myself either. I think that wasting CPU cycles is exactly that a waste. This keeps my processor working when I am, damn lazy thing anyway.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
