Linuxnewbie.org SETI Black Belts
What is SETI?
Their take:
"SETI@home is a scientific experiment that harnesses
the power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected
computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
(SETI). You can participate by running a free program that
downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. There's a small
but captivating possibility that your computer will detect
the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth."
My take:
The SETI client basically uses spare cpu cycles and works
in the background, searching blocks of data brought in by
a huge radio telescope in Puerto Rico. All computers are
idle at some time, why shouldn't yours help to find intelligent
life in the universe? Lets find some aliens!
We're a little cooky here at Linuxnewbie.org,
but so what? I pity the fool that eats my cereal-MR T.
How do I join?
Do you have what it takes to become a Black
Belt? If you do, goto the Seti@home
page and download your client. You don't have to run Linux
to run SETI.
Directions:
Enter your email address for the client,
and join
the team manually.
