Interesting... Why can't they let us choose which project gets our extra processing cycles? It seems only fair.

The protein folding program is probably the most beneficial for humanity.

As Hank said, the project itself lives on as a part of BOINC.

BOINC will continue the search for E.T. radio signals

So now we can all BOINC for extra-terrestrial life? Hmmm...

I had a PC in this project since 2000. Last year I found that there was a Freeper group in SETI@Home and moved my acct to that group. Oddly enough I stopped running SETI on my PC recently for the first time in ages and now they are folding.

Doesn't say much for "evolution" does it?

The longer we go without hearing anything the more I'm convinced we are alone, at least in our galaxy.

I have been a SETI@home user at home and at work since '99. I've moved over to BOINK. No problem. Let's just keep listening. But I'm not holding my breath ...

In 4 years, my CPU's crunched out 11.14 years or 100,000 plus hours.

It was fun. At one time my 3 computers processed more units than 24 countries.

IT was bragging rights.

BOINC at Berkeley...

That could be a recruiting motto.

Been running the BOINC client for quite a while now. I migrated over as soon as the new client was available. Still crunching data as usual.

I'm taking a hard look at our Congess, the Senate and the MSM, and it's appearant that we need to search to find any intelligence in them before we focus on space again.

What a ceaspool we have for leadership and what passes for journalism these days.
