Have those SETI screensavers finally paid off? (I don't run one, I run Folding@Home)

Well, Seti has nothing to do w/ it -- click.

"Sadly, the New Scientist, while it implies that a detection of an extraterrestrial signal is imminent, has inadvertently wandered into a sticky vat of hyperbole."

You know a dirty, mudslinging election is going on when that happens. I hate politics.

Anyone else running SETI@home? I've got over 13200 hours/1600 units done. It's been my screensaver for years, I also run a cancer research screensaver on my laptop.

The extraterrestial intelligence question can be solved with statistics.

8,691 units, 5.004 years CPU time.
26,799th place out of 5,137,798
More done then 99.478% of the users.

Most impressive clutch.

No, Actually it helped provide heat in my 2nd floor window laiden office during the winter months. (I got the window office because there is not heat/ac to speak of.)

Plus, the screen saver impressed the tour groups.

No, he was only kidnapped by them. They took him aboard their spacecraft and abused him. Sexually! I'm not making this up! He told me how they were planning to kill us all!

Depends on the author, but I don't think anyone will care unless you're doing something low like stripping out credits.

Actually, its Kumba's server since he was kind enough to donate 50MB of his space to me. :)
