SETI@home

It seems there is at least one good reason why people should run SETI@home on their computers. My recently upgraded computer runs cooler and quieter, so I'm back running SETI@home again on my main machine, so if it ever gets stolen (and I really hope it doesn't), there's a chance that it'll check in with SETI's servers* and be recovered by the police (no, not the reformed music group, although it'd be cool if Sting appeared on my doorstep). In the case of the laptop mentioned in the article, it was returned safe and sound, with the addition of "20 tracks of rap music with unintelligible lyrics" (some people might argue that all rap music is unintelligible, but it's not all bad). What a nice ending.

* obviously not on a Wednesday, when they have their scheduled downtime
