Armed with the results of 1.4 million years of computer time,
SETI@home scientists recently traveled to the Arecibo radio observatory in Puerto Rico for a closer listen to our 155 top "candidates". Now is a great time to start running SETI@home; you can download the latest software athttp://setiathome.berkeley.edu/download.html I just thouight this was Cool :D |
Yeah, i got the email as well :) I may have to start runnin the program again
|
Seti at Home used to crash my Win98 PC with it's screensaver. I haven't tried it lately in XP. It sure is a worthy cause to donate your extra CPU cycles to! Go Bezerkeley!
|
COOl, now i'm a bonefied computer geek, along with Seti installed! :D
|
I've been running SETI@home for about three years now and I don't plan on stopping now. Over 1000 units completed--pretty good considering that for 95% of that time, I was running the program on my PII 350MHz machine. :D
|
1 UNIT COMPLETED! WOOOHOOO!
Now, it's about 1/4 done with the second UNIT! OH YA! :D :) :kicking: |
Um cool...guess i will run it on both of mine...
guessing i can use same user name for both and get credit for both? |
Time to kick start this thread again :D
Are any of you members of groups on the seti site? |
Just reloaded it, and it still has 65 units that I processed from 2 years ago! Seems OK so far, the screen saver part of it used to kill my PC with 98SE.

I Belong to SetUK...
But we should have our own team :) :) See my Poll italiano |
I went to the statistics page and checked my account:
Results Received 10676 Total CPU Time 13.610 years SETI@home user for: 4.xxx years Due to holy personal integrity you can't see the rest of the stats here but I do have the 10.000 unit certificate downloaded. I didn't think that there were any others here interested! Fun! Just remember that in this field we will never be anything but very small. The figures above places me as: Your rank out of 4637482 total users is: 11212th place. You have completed more work units than: 99.543% of our users Still haven't found any aliens either. :huh: |
Btw: I run the commandline version. More effective and you also don't have to use their screensaver. Then also check out SetiHide and make a set and forget setup.
|
I havent used the command line version yet- will check both it and SetiHide out. Thanks for the tip
|
Right. SetiHide have some limitations regarding the OS though. Also check out the other thread by italiano here:http://www.betaone.net/index.php?showtopic=27737&hl=
|
It's time to check this "Seti" ;)
