Sounds cool, might try it (saw it on the tv in UK):

SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

Anyone have any experience of it?

Thanks, I hadn't heard of this sort of thing before, so I didn't think to look anywhere else for it.

SETI has been around for quite a long while. Mid 90's I believe.

Yeah, if yer gonna use the idle CPU cycles, make sure ya Genome or Fold. ET can wait till we have cancer taken care of.

Main reason why Im not running SETI. First I was running Genome then switched over to F@H.

Join up with SpeedGuide Steve!!!

-Fold On!!!

Phase 1 of SETI project will/is end(ed). Phase 2 is out soon.

I started with SETI but then asked myself...so what if we find aliens. Cure for cancer is more important to society right now.

True. I had testicular cancer last year and got through it thanks to modern chemo to reduce chance of recurrence (still have checkups).

So helping in anyway to provide a cure for all cancers would be great.

I agree forget the aliens, its all about the cure for cancer. The chances of finding aliens to come to earth to cure it for us just seems like a long shot!

Besides I am addicted now, and I will overtake Extreme in October of 2004 unless he adds some more boxes!!!

folding@home and seti@home
is there a seperate software package for genome@ home...cuz i downloaded off the link and it was the same as the folding@home the exact same?

Fantastic. Whichever project you choose the research is much appreciated. Welcome aboard.

There used to have a separate g@h client but they phased it out.

I ran Seti@Home for quite some time..

Folding@Home and it had a purpose, a good one at that....
so I ditched S@H
