I haven't said a word over the BOINC software in this thread. It is true that I didn't
like the forced transition, but I installed it, without any hazle whatsoever, and I'm
running it on my six computers at home 24/7. So I really don't understand what it is
you're ranting about now!

Sorry, we must be misinterpreting somewhere...

So you like the project but not the software?
And you feel that you already contribute enough?


To clarify my science and funding comments:

The science for s@h is very good and sound and has been peer reviewed.

As a science project, s@h _should_ be able to get funding. However, politics that have nothing to do with real science have blocked funding for _all_ "SETI"-type projects. Likely as a consequence of bad press from all the UFO idiots.

s@h is based at the U of Berkeley. Others that know better than me can try explaining the detail of how the funding works!


Happy crunchin',
Martin
