Maybe a better response should have been;
Yes, I think we should continue to search for LGM's, and through SETI this could be one of the means to do so.
In saying that, I dont want to go into whether there is intelligent life or not........I'm just putting in my computers 2 bits worth
( or should that be 8, 16 ,32,64 etc).
BOINC is a great platform ( in my opinion) to use unused computing power to dissect/compute any complex complexities....
I have also subscribed to LHC@HOME.
I know others have subscribed to more 'Human(e)' projects like Folding@home. I encourage that but I have my heart set on finding LGM's before a cure for Cancer et al.......
Cancer ( to just name one ) is a horrible disease and I do not want to say that finding LGM's is more important...... I choose to use my computing power for other things....
Kal ( Andrew), I agree, it does chew power. I used to have a puter running 24/7 plus my main puter whenever I turened it on. Tooooo much
. I now even turn it of (boinc) when I have to do photoshop et al cause it just crashes the puter....even with 8 GB of ram ( maybe cause I have boinc running CUDA on the Gforce.)
