And $1000s of dollars in electricity bills if you have your processor at full load all the time and use it for some years. Still a noble cause if you've got the money. :p SETI especially is a waste of time. If they do find something with it, do you ever think they'll relay that information back to you? No, it will get covered up and kept in secret so you'll never get any benefits from your excess electricity usage in your lifetime. IMO if the US government wants to find aliens so bad can use their big supercomputer that they use for cracking encryption & reading everyone's email and use it to analyse the SETI data instead. |

| 326427 | 2005-02-20 05:35:00 | the question is, have they actually found something and does it work?? or is it just a scheme run by power companies so they gather more funds because you leave your pc on 24/4??....... the plot thickens...... | Prescott (11) | ||
