Totally Off topic I thought this news belonged, if at all, into this thread.

SETI is in heavy trouble because of funding cuts.

http://www.seti.org/

Sorry to bother anyone who is not interested. But as a "fan" to the project myself I have to raise my voice.
IMO this project, by far, is the most daring and important take that humanity has ever done. I know this sounds glorifying, pathetic, maybe ridiculous. But think about the impact of a possible success... That would really change our world. Hopefully to the better.
Why am I bringing this up? You can, indirectly and with hardly a cost to you, help SETI getting the funds back on track.
There is SETI@Home .
If you participate, this will install a kind of a screen saver onto your computer which really is a program to scan the data that SETI dishes have received. They still got huge amounts of data to have been skimmed through and each analysis takes quite a long time. Hence SETI@Home. Install it on the machines at your company. Many of them will have a great amount of "spare time". Install it on your PC at home and give it 1 or 2 hours before you go to bed. It saves it's output constantly so you can switch it off whenever you want.
What SETI really needs at this moment is people joining SETI@Home. The more people around the globe showing interest, the more power SETI gets to get refunds.
Or donate directly or indirectly if you have some money to be spend into very thin air so-to-speak Wink

.
The decision to cut funding is even more difficult to understand given the successes that the search for exoplanets has brought up during the recent years.

Thank you.

If it makes you feel any better they will be back up in running in I think it was 2012 with enough funding to last into 2018 or 2019. The problem now is that with so many sites and the fact they are nearing the end of this funding period they are having to cut back in to a slimmer mode. But once the new funding period starts they'll be back up and running like it never happened. Very Happy
