Hum,

@whabang,
if we were to let them join then that would prove that they existed:
And then we wouldn`t have to run seti on our machines, or have a seti thread about the amiga effort to find them...

Where`s the fun in that, huh?

@bloodline
hUM,
Very observant....it`s a bit like saying an orchestra of musicians,

(it should be a string of musicians...)
(or like a belt of teachers...)
(or a murder of crows)

(or a pod of aliens...)

Hum,
that sounds like a good idea...

A random forum that popup/changes every month - bras & pants section, cryogenic section , transplant section, transporter room...the possibilities are endless...

Happy birthday seti@home!

[From /. ]
     "Five years ago today, SETI@home launched a comprehensive program to search for Extra Terrestrial life in the universe, using millions of home computers to help compile useful data that could some day lead to the discovery of advanced extra terrestrial life. Since inception, SETI@home has found 2,568 persistent Gaussians, possible radio transmissions from a distant planet. SETI began in 1960 with the efforts of Cornell University astronomer Frank Drake, whose Project Ozma became the first modern SETI experiment in history."
[/From /. ]

Now where`s the drinks section? :pint:

Hum

The team at SETI@Home have released their new client software based on the BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) software platform.

[Hum, shame it wasn`t BOING]

"This new platform  promises transparent version upgrades, more efficient work unit distribution, and the ability to seamlessly integrate other distributed computing projects that are also using the BOINC standard. For now, SETI@Home is allowing both the Classic and BOINC clients to run, but eventually they will shut down the Classic data server and force everyone to upgrade. You can read  more about the transition here. ”




[BTW, happy birthday, Quake]

Hum,
Are you getting the following error message and the seti program quits?

Unknown Fatal Error : 1

Don`t worry too much, it looks like it`s a problem with their site interface...

Hum,
that`s Seti back online now!

i`ve downloaded BOINC as well...
It can`t be run at the same time as seti, but it looks like a simple transafer process...activate acount and input your new ID number...(giving http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ as the URL)...

Looks good...

 :-)

Hum,
the inner encoded  meaning (apparent to any advanced sentient  being )is of course, `get up and do it...`

Settee/Couch is a metaphor for `relaxing and doing nothing`;
And Seti is an allegory for, er, `doing the work`...

;)

@Danny
