Watup.  Do any of you remember the SETI At Home project?  It goes back many years.  When your computer is idle, it makes use of your CPU to analyze radio signals from space recorded at the Aricebo Observatory.  They are hoping to detect radio signals from extraterrestrials.  I've been running it for a week or so on my machines here at the office, and I created a CoastGab SETI team which you can join here:

SETI at home is very cool.  if anyone ever thought that the search for extraterrestrial intelligence wouldn't produce anything useful then here's something that's very cool: distributed computing.  i love it

the software that runs the seti@home project can be used to participate in multiple other distributed computing projects... including the search for a cancer cure.

Yikes. The Linux client brought my laptop to its knees.

Blame the aliens if they would just show themselves we wouldn't have to analyze interstellar noise in the hope we can discern a repeatable pattern.
