The only way an alien visit to this planet is going to work is a massive tourist invasion!! Individually, they would not have time to take a snapshot for home!

We come as tourists, please take us to your sights. :D
 
Re: contact

and dream.......................... good film that, enjoyed it, even if it went a bit "fantasmagorical" towards the end........

isn't it nice to read threads without being overloaded with biblical quotations - lovely.

Here endeth the lesson..................
 
I know it's trivial and unimportant, but when I saw this topic a second ago, it had exactly 7,777 views.

And how many S@H groups can you be a member of at once? Cuz Im already in one...

I’ve never done the SETI at home thing, often thought I should though. Anyway, this looks like big news, anyone know anything about it?

See:

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- An unexplained radio signal from deep space could -- just might be -- contact from an alien civilization, New Scientist magazine reported on Thursday.

The signal, coming from a point between the Pisces and Aries constellations, has been picked up three times by a telescope in Puerto Rico.

There are other explanations besides extraterrestrial contact that may explain the signal. New Scientist said the signal could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon or even be a by-product from the telescope itself.

But the mystery beam has excited astronomers across the world.
"If they can see it four, five or six times it really begins to get exciting," Jocelyn Bell Burnell of the University of Bath in western England told the magazine.

It was broadcast on the main frequency at which the universe's most common element, hydrogen, absorbs and emits energy, and which astronomers say is the most likely means by which aliens would advertise their presence.

The potentially extraterrestrial signals were picked up through the SETI+home project, which uses programs running as screensavers on millions of personal computers worldwide to sift through the huge amount of data picked up by the telescope.

What's the status on the new radio signal SETI has picked up from deep space? Any confirmation yet or has the radio signal been discounted?

Dang, and still no confirmed signal from deep space from ET.........Keep trying!

I have an athlone 1100 cpu and my son told me recently that my seti program was using "most of the pc's cpu power" - anyone else experienced this?
 
Of course it does.
SETI or any other crunching program uses maximum cpu power on low priority,
meaning that it doesn't use cpu when some other software requests it, but it still slows down the computer pretty much.
 
Anybody having trouble connecting too Seti at the moment? I've had problems for 3 days now.
 
And now its back!!! i have been doing seti for about a year now, and thats the first time its ever played up. Anyway, has anybody had an interesting spike/data thing that merited Seti's attention?
