[H-GEN] Seti at home

[Michael Anthon]

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs Michael Anthon <mca at tams.com.au>)

There is one thing that prevents me from running SETI at home, that being cost.
I did a quick and dirty calculation and worked out that with all the
available PCs in the office running this, I would have to download about 10M
of data a day.  This works out to about $60/month, which is not something I
can justify (otherwise it would be really cool 8^)

Cheers
Michael

I would be - A sudden shortage of staff (Aiieee!) means we have a cuppla
spare workstations about - except that we're compulsorarily proxied on
port 80. the seti at home client doesn't understand that. The End.

Bugger.

I really wonder why the didn't just tie up with the distributed.net or
COSM people, instead of reinventing the metaphorical wheel.
