    Anyone here follow the SETI@home project?

    "Mysterious signals from 1000 light years away
    19:00 01 September 04

    In February 2003, astronomers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky.

    The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got stronger.

    This radio signal, now seen on three separate occasions, is an enigma. It could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon."

    Who knows?
    It is too late to fix America via the Republicans or Democrats, and too early to start shooting the bastards.

    Not trying to ruin your post or anything, but I think SETI is a waste of time. Run something useful like united devices http://grid.org instead
