my son kept his computer constantly on(that we bought him and powered)for years constantly checking for SETI.
when he burned it out, I let him buy his own (actually he makes his own computers now...or assembles them or whatever you call it) when his own finances were involved he stopped using them for SETI.

That attitude is very revalent on space thread. The space kadets are shrill about the usefulness of spending other peoples' money on their space dreams. At least Psycho_bunny donates his own resources to the cause.
