When I saw George Perry over there drinking sake and playing Connect Four, I thought "Now THERE'S a man who uses a non-standard video driver!" -- Binky
The SETI@Home project is finally up and running. You, too,
can help LOCATE aliens across the galaxy. Scientists will
use this information to destroy their nests with pinpoint
accuracy! "I want to kill bugs, sir!"
SETI@Home is Carl Sagan's dream come true. Mr. Sagan, notable for his unending
hatred of aliens and the horrible things they do to human asses, vowed to
discover the dens of these intergalactic sodomists and bomb them back to the
Stone Age! He died before his dream could come true, but now YOU can help kill
some Grays.
See, SETI@Home works a lot like Distributed.net's RC-5 cracking
software. Millions of hours of radio telescope data are passed out in packets
to all the computers in the world that are running the SETI@Home software.
(ASIDE: The software's available for Win32 and Macs -- I gotta say, where's the
Linux, fellas? How can you do a CRAZY ASS PROJECT without some Linux software
to go with it?)
Anyways, those computers search through the data looking for signs of
intelligent signals (vs. random noise). The odds are pretty small that any one
computer will find anything this way, BUT! the combination of thousands of
computers crunching data makes it possible to process the information much
faster than a NASA supercomputer can do.
This is the info they have on their Web site. What they DON'T say is that once
we locate the signal, NASA will launch a huge RADIOACTIVE METEORITE in the
direction of the signal to DESTROY THEIR EVIL CIVILIZATION before they can PUT
STUFF IN OUR ASSES AGAIN.
So check it out. Download this software and help humanity by WIPING OUT AY-
LEENS. Wee-haw!
