Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Im running Seti@Home on an AthlonXP 2600+ for twi reasons. IÄm interested in astronomical and space since and I need a high load on my operating system (FreeBSD) for testing purposes. I think it's better to generate it with distributed computing then with classic "cpu burn" tools.
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.
