Don't mind me, I'm just testing my awesome SETI at home sig generator.

[View Quote] I didn't know there were this many seti at homers in AW. I started an AW team if anyone's interested.

joined it :)...not that im actually into any of this strange stuff, em no,
im just supporting the community! uuuhuh :)

I used a cheesy banner generator to make the banner image, but my artistic skills don't extend very far past stick figures.

Anyway, thanks for joining. That brings the AW team to a grand total of... two members. *fanfare*

i just joined your group i even have aactivete url to deti and a screensaver
pic on some comp1.rwx in my builds

cant believe my typos-- anyway the way i figure is that if you are going to
have a screensaver may as well have one that actually does something instead
of just flying toasters LOL.

There is already an AW team, has only one member though I think.

You can use SetiHide for example to collect some work
units and then - when you're online, flush the finished
ones and fetch new ones.

A lot of tools like SetiHide exist, it is just the one
I use.

Bah... Try putting your computer towards some *real* work. :P

I didn't do a very thorough check first; I kind of figured that AW didn't have a team in place. Woops -_-

Bah...bad enough we have to fold clothes everytime we do the laundry without
taking on folding hundreds of thousands of micro-organisms also!!!!????

Hehe. Well, by figuring out how proteins fold, we can figure out how to eliminate or prevent many diseases. Folding at home isn't the end-all and be-all of medical distributed computing, though. There's a whole truckload of medical distributed computing projects popping up all over the place.

Builderz gave me this list earlier:

http://www.find-a-drug.org/ (medical)
http://d2ol.com/ (medical)
http://www.grid.org/ (multiple)

Check them out if you're interested. All distributed computing projects have their uses, and choosing to run one instead of another is only a matter of personal preference. There are plenty of computers in the world to satisfy the needs of all the currently running distributed computing projects, so trying to sway users away from another DCP's userbase by bashing it is a little overzealous.

I joined Shreds group. Im gonna put it on another computer now.. Hehe.

Jul 11, 2003, 10:25pm

ok, thanx :)

still dont get what the point of this is, but the program seems cool :) not
sure how it can find extraterrestrial intelligence :)

The program analyzes radio sweeps collected by the Arecibo radio telescope, currently the most powerful in the world. The up-and-coming Allen array may change that, but it's still some time off.

SAH uses several techniques to sort through the files looking for narrowband radio transmissions, ones contained to a small frequency range or a single frequency. Radio waves are emitted from all sorts of masses, including stars, but SAH is looking for a very particular sort of signal that can rarely come from a natural source.

http://www.planetary.org/html/UPDATES/seti/alien_signal.html has more info.

would be easier to just get netwire to move to shred's, faster and easier :)

SETI? Bah, it's all about medical research now. More pratical use of spare
cycles IMO ;D

Go team SR ^_^ http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/teampage?q=11309

[View Quote] I feel that spending time looking for alien life would be more
beneficial to all of humanity than just searching for protein folding. ;)

Not to mention _they_ will probably help us with that sort of stuff.

News: Bowen created a new logo to replace the ugly auto-generated one. It looks quite nice in comparison :)

And... we're up to five members! Rejoice!

you're right, Netwire didn't even join his own team *g

I tried one of the B.O.I.N.C. projects but could not make it
work on my PC. I'll wait till it's out of the Beta and then
join one of those projects.
