Is looking for ET more important than saving our own biosphere?

Hmmm. So is my running CPDN is an example of observation influencing
the outcome of the experiment???  ;-)


That depends on how big (or compact) your computing farm is and whether
it distorts the local microclimate...!

I've usually got 3 or 4 machines running in a small upstairs bedroom
converted into a home office. If the sound of the window airconditioner
running 24/7 is any indication, yes, the microclimate w/i the room is
DEFINITELY being distorted by my little garden.
