seti@home!!

[Tank Program]

So, does anyone do seti@home? They are located here and it's pretty cool. Basically you use space cpu cycles to analyze signals from radio telescopes... It's an addictive hobby to run it. I run it, does anyone else? Maybe we should get together and work on the same account, or on a group or something. (I'm at 9514 wus ) Anyway, I'm just curious...

i don't but it's a nice example of applied distributional computing

only thing is... i'm always laughing at their name: seti@home = search for extra-terrestial intelligence at home... well i looked beneath the sofa and as far as i can say i haven't got any

I'm not really doing this to benefit mankind, I'm doing this to show how great my computers are... (and other people's aren't... )

I did it before and stop it about 6 months before because I've got a error message were i can not find a solution and my e-mail is not answered. After i'm change now to WXP i try it again. Thank you 4 the hint.

Ah yes, space cpu cycles... everything is better in a vacuum. =)

I used to use folding@home, but haven't in some time now. Both are worthwhile projects, but I think we are more likely to benefit from folding. If I'm wrong, though... Wow.

My spare cycles now go to encoding movies.'

yes i had thought of joining up about 7 months ago but decided against it (you know how much i hate linking up my pc to anything over the net !)

shame really i would like to help em out

the only reason i half trust linking up armagetron is because i can read the source code (still dont trust it fully, you never know what evil data is lurking in the stream ! lol)
