Never used SETI or like, but this idea seems to be interesting. Hopefully it really does something useful, too. I'm in.

I would too. It's just that I'm a little weary of things were it could very well be a hoax. My computers been trashed too many times, and I've finally gotten it back to the way I want it.

if i find out you're using IE, im going to laugh and point

Does this involve downloading, and lots of it?

Nope, just a small program, around 1.6 MB. That's all.

no. it does have some downloading and uploading to get the data to process, and to send the results. its not a huge amount but if you have a download/upload cap you might want to think twice.

[Iron_Scarecrow]

I have a cap, so it's a no for me.

OK so now I gotta choose from three....

SETI@home -
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

United Devices - http://www.grid.org/home.htm

...and Abandonia Help Squad.

Should I run all three at once when I'm not using the computer, or should I run one of them, then swap to another after about a month or so?


Or shall I not bother at all? My PC is already kinda slow as it is (and I'm very certain my harddrive is failing )
:wall:
