Kathryn, you are a fountain of interesting pieces of trivia!
I might have otherwise skipped this message, if you hadn't
commented on it.
At any rate, I've sent a long message to Joe Palca, regarding
why I think SETI@home will not work, explaining some concepts
about supercomputers in space, Dyson shells, SIs, etc. suggesting
he contact me if he wants further information.
... Robert Bradbury, in his dark suit of light absorbing
nanoarmour, lept into the pit twirling his double-bladed
light saber. To the left were massed the astromers with
their simplistic assumptions of the universe, to the right
stood the SETI fans warily eyeing the individual who threatened
to make null-and-void years of painstaking work and zillions
of CPU cycles. In the background could be heard the occasional
clap or cheer of those forward thinking nanotechies and extropians.
The battle had begun.
stay tuned...
Robert
