| Personal background |
|---|
| I live in the greatest city in the world, Los Angeles, CA, USA. I am a computer programmer as a hobby, and program in CPP, Java, a little Applescript, BASIC (more of the old, minimal, line number style), and know an assorted amount of small bits of a bunch of other computer languages. I know some POSIX, and I emulate operating systems using the free, open source Bochs. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| There is extraterrestrial life out there, but really it would only be interesting if we ever find the intelligent groups, otherwise there would be no real accomplishment. To say that we are the only ones that are in the whole universe usually means that the person is not very bright in thinking through common sense. To say that this universe, expanding by the second, being a rediculously long number of light years wide, only contains 6 billion intelligent forms of life (humans that is; animals & plants would increase that number greatly) grouped together on a single tiny rock, is rediculous. Perhaps why intelligent extraterestrial life hasn't been discovered is because we do not have the technology to reach other planets. It took around 35 years just to go from landing on the moon to seeing pictures of Mars on its surface (to mention the original rover, from the 1990's), and at that rate, seeing even Pluto on its surface could take generations, let alone Jupiter or Neptune (when it orbits closer to the sun than Pluto, otherwise Pluto would be easier to reach and Neptune would be hard). |
