SO WHAT?

You are statistically more likely to get run
over by a bus. Is that any reason not to keep
an eye (or in this case, an ear) out for a  bus
that could "hit" you?!

RC5 is for Ubergeeks, not the masses, and
the long odds do not make the potential pay
off of SETI@Home any less exciting. Where
is your sense of adventure?

More on topic, this security vulnerability must
not exist for the Mac client as they have not
updated it for ages (still at ver. 3.03).

I'd settle for a client for AOS 4, though I
gather one can run the CLI version that
exists for Linux PPC (something kind of
cool to run on your A1 while waiting for
OS 4, perhaps). :-D

Look Before you leap (or post). There is a new
SETI@Home client for Mac OS (ver. 3.08) on the
site now. Guess the security problems applied
to all platforms, after all.
