Hi. I am 36 and working as a product manager in the Telecom business.
I am interested in IT and computers since I was 14.
My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81. I learned programming on it in Basic.
Looking back to those days is very funny. It had a memory of 1 kilobyte!
My actual computers are a little bit better ones :))
I work a lot, but I realized that there are still lots of unused time where the capabilities of the computers are not used.
So, I think BOINC is a great idea to use the spare computation power of the PC\\'s for useful researches to help mankind find new cures, help scientific researches or if you like Sci-Fi you even can help to find some little green Martians in our galaxy. :))
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think we are not alone.
I think sometimes E.T. has to call home.
I think we are able to catch and hear that call.
Only thing we have to do is sit and listen.
Its only a matter of time. :))
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.
