SETI = the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project was started by the government back in the 1950's, the disctributed computing model of SETi was started back in 1999 and is the largest distributed computing experiment in the world with over 3 million participants donating their spare cpu cycles.for those of you unfamiliar with distributed computing, the premise is that the power of the many(home computers) is greater than the power of one(supercomputers). seti@home participants download a small program that downloads data in 'work units' about 300k/ea, then analyzes them for patterns predetermined for intelligent communication. the analysis program uses only IDLE processor cycles, so you will see zero degredation in performance. if you leave your system running at night then this is a great way to utilize your proc for a good cause.

if you have any further questions follow this link for a short history of SETI, and this link explaining how seti@home works

"there's no place like 127.0.0.0"

gr8gatzby, i thought 127.0.0.1 was the loopback IP to your local machine?

Anyway i'm working on joining now, i'll be in as soon as i get the e-mail with my password.

no to thread crap or start a flame war, but isn't folding@home a more useful cause

let's say, for sake of example, that we discover an alien race more intelligent than us, via seti@home. in this case they'll have all the answers and cures to possible and probable diseases that that the folding@home project hopes to solve.

i also run folding@home on top of seti@home.

to me, seti@home negates folding@home. why i run both i do not know. maybe i am a glutton fer punishment...or maybe i am just hopelessly addicted to the distributed computing model....time will tell i guess....

Uh, no...

I just had to chime in here.
This ain't star trek.
It's upto humans to solve human diseases.

That being said I think SETI is cool, but I'm folding proteins.
The life you save may be your own.

But either one is better than nothing.

I ran GENOME for awhile and have a couple machines still running UD for the HardOCP team in UD. I think it's a better cause but it's your system and everyone has their own interests.

i think we could solve this problem in two ways:

1) everybody spend idle time at home staring *really* hard at the sky and e-mail seti if you see anything

and

2) go buy some meat and start trying out those new napkin designs you have seen so much about on Martha Steward and when you are done mail your beautifully folded protien to stanford for further analysis.

I ran Seti@home for awhile then realized that if we found intelligence that maybe just maybe they would find us and EAT us as food. I'm a little guy and would only make a decent appetizer but still didn't want to take a chance like this so I took it off my system. Call me paranoid!

jghost5 I dont call you paranoid at all because that is a very possible situation. Why do I say this? well if they are anything like humans they will fight, humans are a warlike race want to beleive it or not, first thing we would do if extra terrestrials (spelling) came here is shoot, so if they are in fact watching us at all, they sure seem smart enough to realise they cant just up and come here.

but its getting OT now hehe, seti's cool but I dont feel like runnin it with 56 **** k heh

Does anyone else have a problem with the Seti@home screen saver waking up for no reason? Mine will run for awhile, then go back to the desktop. I'm using a Sager 8890 3.0Mhz HT enabled, any ideas?

Reminds of an excellent Twilight Zone episode called "To Serve Man." Look it up if you get a chance.
