Re: Seti|@home

I just started running SETI again on my computers (about 2 months now). I'm running the command line version (much faster than the whole graphical version), and haven't had anything wierd happen to me, like Raoul did.

Also, they are now issuing new packets again. I don't know when that started, but I do remember reading in an article some time ago that they admitted they were re-issuing processed data packets, as FrankC said, because they didn't have enough recording time at Aricebo. This computer is working on one recorded just last month. They are also in the process of upgrading Aricebo's data recorders moving recording equipment to the land of Oz to start recording data from the southern part of the sky. (Will ETs discovered down their talk with an accent?)

They are talking about issuing a new client that is modular in that it can be given different data packets for different projects. If the user chose to participate in a different project other than SETI, he could sign up with that new project and process data for them.
