guys i was searching on google and suddenly i found seti@home project which says search for extra terristrial at your home. they say that internet users can help to find aliens. i dont know how but its true.
i dont know how many of u know abt this.
and how many have actually tried out this.
but u can download the 768 KB file at:
*setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/download.html
The SETI@home program is a special kind of screensaver. Like other screensavers it starts up when you leave your computer unattended, and it shuts down as soon as you return to work. What it does in the interim is unique. While you are getting coffee, or having lunch or sleeping, your computer will be helping the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by analyzing data specially captured by the world's largest radio telescope.

here a screenshot of the process going on at my computer:

Well... you can search for my statistics from that page itself... i joined it almost 2 and a half years back...

You get certificates delivered into your accounts when you complete 100, 250 , 500 workunits....

ps: i got the certificate a week back... but i downloaded it today... so its showing the current date in US... that is one day late...

it all appears to be fake to me... why do such biggies need the power of our relatively smamler systems that too as a part time worker thru internet connection.. absurd..

@senthilrek

It's good that U don't belive in Hollywood type aliens, but U gotta believe in Extraterrestrial Life forms as U believe that there is life on our planet.

Well different opinions and views are there, but SETI being a old concept in "Distributed Computing" has catched the most fire.

Yes... in fact i have set that seti@home client to work in daemon mode... no screensaver at all... it just works, and fetches data when it requires.. i have to see seti@home webpage to know my statistics... ha ha ha ....

I think i686-pc-linux-gnu client whould be the one for Athlon chips.... AMD does support x86 architecture...
btw: here are my statistics if anyone is interested .... my certificate is also there...
