Hey Jon! Can I repost this video on my page? I'll say you made it. I just want to help spread the word but wanted to see if it was o.k. with you.

[SecularAstronomer]

Sure! No problem. I'm all for spreading the word in the most efficient of ways. :o)

[charlieclown]

great idea to dupe ppl into downloading keyloggers

[SecularAstronomer]

Or you could pretend to be a decent human being with a moral compass and refrain... never mind - forget I said anything.

I might join up :) I've been devoting 100% of my CPU to SETI@home since 2001, folding proteins really isn't in my interest :s though the cause is good... But this is :D I'm gonna run 50/50 seti and einstein

If you do, be sure to join our group:

Einstein: "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty." Einstein rejected the rewarding or punishing God of Islam or Christianity.

Einstein: "Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms." Einstein rejected the idea of judgement day and resurrection.

@charlieclown lol please, pleeeeease, hope not serious XD if it was keylogger they would be busted long time ago even with the simplest antivirus software... *facepalm*

@chinchonchinchon What do you mean don't cry? As an atheist I feel like I would have more of an emotional feeling towards death than a believer who believes they will see the other person again in the afterlife. I can easily turn this against you. No need to cry if your dad is dead you will see him again...

@charlieclown I know this is from 3 years ago. Hopefully you have read a little since then to see how much about this you don't understand.

[g00glian0]

@novomlinski I don't think it is silly. It really doesn't matter what we think or believe when we simply don't know. And not knowing is why it's done!

[g00glian0]

@chinchonchinchon

His theories are put to the test everyday, and most(I'm guessing) still stand. I read everyday about new science and don't see anything about his theories being shot down.

You wouldn't cry if your kids died? Silly!

@chuxanator

you are. don't run it.

@christoph2005

Well I don't live in Cali but I have been running multiple machines with seti for years without that kind of electric bill spike.

[christoph2005]

These projects interest me but I can't justify running my PC at 100% 24/7. The cost of the energy would actually be noticeable on an electric bill. My calculations show that just running 300 watt's 24 hours a day for 30 days, at the current cost of California energy being 18c/kilowathour, will end up costing you 40 bucks a month. When I noticed that I tried looking into projects that would pay you for your cputime but they wouldn't even cover their own expenses. My systems await proper pay.

They just discovered an unusual pulsar on two home computers. I wish they had something like this for the human genome project. Well they do, but in order to make a contribution it requires a lot of scientific knowledge that I don't have.

[chuxanator]

who's ganna pay for my electric bill?
