The Truth Is Out There…
I set up an account with SETI@home today. I participated in the project a few years back, shortly after they first launched. They recently shifted over to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, so the system is quite a bit different now. There are several other worthwhile projects to participate in at BOINC, including some which deal with researching diseases. You can participate in more than one. I intend to sign up for more in the near future. I encourage others to do the same.
