This has probably been posted here before, but I just got broadband recently and so I've installed this to help out. I figure, what the hell, it's for the cause.

What's funny is that this is a screensaver that winds up burning an image on your screen :p

A certain self-proclaimed computer genius I had as a physics teacher back in High School always had this running on his computers. Every single one of them had the SETI at home GUI burned into the screen.

I never understood why people used screen-savers when they could just set the monitor to go into standby instead.

Been doing this for years....
Had about 1000+ hours on it, then I stopped for about a year, since I had no internet and no way to get new sets of data, so they deleted my account...

think of it this way.

Thousands of computers around the world running this program, by far the majority of them on high speed internet connections (i doubt anyone with 56K would be running this program) and some of them for long periods of time, with the computer's owner knowing the program's running.  with a little bit of editing, the creators and owners of this program could launch one of the most powerful DoS attacks ever :drevil: :devil:

DSL/Cable and all the other cools things dont reach my house.

Acutally, there is a 56k dial up near by, but the phone line sucks SO BAD that I can only connect at 24k...

Sucky yes.  The only way to download stuff is to leave getright on all night long.

uber, have you looked at satelite broadband?
So as through a glass, and darkly

Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Screw SETI, put your unused CPU cycles to something actually useful instead:

SETI is only useless until it finds something. Then it will probably turn out to have been one of the greatest ideas ever (or lead to the destruction of mankind if we bring bezerkers down on ourselves). :)

Wierd, I was just thinking of this exact thing a couple of days ago.

Kara is right, ya know.  It would be considered the greatest idea ever devised if it actually found something.  But I didn't think pepole still did this.

I haven't been using SETI@home, but I have been folding for the past couple of months.

I figure if I'm going to run a distributed client, I would first rather aid medical developments than finding that there may be other inelligent life in deep space.

Because if I was an intelligent life form, and I saw the Earth, I may probably decide to avoid it altogether.  :nervous:

Maybe we're atually the universes' TV. :rolleyes: ( But that's for another thread someday )

:)

Cheers!

I've looked in to it, but just not that much.  Got any good sites that explain the process pretty well?
