CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm not doing the seti one I don't think it will ever work. I'm using the aids client.

Sulphur: If you're doing Protein 209, you're not doing Seti. You're doing the protein folding one.
Seti@home is almost done, at least with it's initial run. They're scraping up the cash right now to do two things:
1) They've developed an open source "framework" that will allow users to integrate (and control how much processer time) gets allocated to any distrubted program using it. That means, if the protein folding people and the AIDS people create programs using the already existing open-source stuff, you can have all three installed, and choose how much of your spare cycles to allot to each. No more "only one" problem.
2) They're going to split a feed off a big telescope in Australia. Better sky angle, more data, better part of the spectrum and continue the project.
Oh, and they're going into actual analysis of all the flagged signals from seti@home.

they only have to be as advanced as us. our radio broadcasts are going out in every direction. maybe someone will pick it up in a few hundred thousand years.

they might not be using radio. but perhaps they once did and we are only receiving the signals now due to the distance gap. sending a signal back would probably present the biggest problem, if we intend to do it.

I guess if we were able to get a signal, and sent it back that they would be able to detect it. I just don't think that using radio is the best way to contact other life in our universe it's to slow.
