Don't Alienate Yourself: SETI@Home Needs You!, EE Times Bookmark and Share

Excerpts: The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) needs you--your computer, that is. SETI is drowning in radio signals from other worlds, thanks to the recent addition of seven new receivers to the world's largest radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Now, with 40-times more radio frequency (RF) coverage, plus the ability to detect the polarization of RF signals, there will be 500-times more data streaming in--finally giving it the ability to detect other intelligent civilizations, according to SETI, a quest that has so far gone begging since 1978.
