Since SETI runs in the background only on computers that are ON, how this costs Higley anything, really, I'd like to see. He should be thanked for being the largest contributor to the Search for Extraterrestrial Life.

I thought it would be a great idea to run SETI-at-home on all the Government computers. Good land I have 90 in this building alone and most of them go unused for months out of the year. Imagine all the number crunching power being wasted, if you add in all the idle machines in the government.

Did you ever consider maybe he was leaving the computers on so they could run it?
