Mi è giunta una email da Seti@Home in cui mi si chiede di riconnetermi al loro progetto (io non mi sono mai cancellato, elaboro WU Astropulse normalmente). Non penso di dover clikkare sui loro link, ma per sicurezza vi copio il testo del loro msg. Ai più esperti, dirimere la matassa.....
"Dear McLane:
We'd like to invite you to reconnect with SETI@home. Our records show that you've been with SETI@home since 08 April 2006, but it's been 1145 days since you last returned a work unit. If you don't want to reconnect with SETI@home, please consider filling out this poll and help us know why:
www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Mso7YAuFfQDfzQqlTCmJUg_3d_3d
We hope you do decide to rejoin SETI@home, and here's why: As we approach our 10th anniversary we are collecting data faster than ever before at the at the world's largest radio telecope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, using a state-of-the-art multibeam receiver, so we can now measure signals from 7 positions on the sky at once, with greater sensitivity to weak signals compared to the data from the flat feed antenna we've used since 1999. We've greatly increased the sensitivity of our data analysis, and the likelihood that we'll find the first signs of extraterrestrial life. We also released a second application, Astropulse, which will look for extremely short pulses of astronomical (and possibly intelligent) origin using the same multibeam data. We are close to finishing work on our Near Time Persistency Checker, which will be the first time we can generate an up-to-date list of interesting points in the sky, and adjust them, as fresh data come in every day.
With these new developments comes an increase in required computing power, for which we depend on people like you. We hope you will consider signing back on with SETI@home, and help in this wonderful scientific venture.
If you experienced problems running SETI@home, please try any of the resources listed at:
setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_help.php including the BOINC Online Help System which lets you talk live, over the Internet, with a help volunteer:
boinc.berkeley.edu/help.php
We thank you for your involvement in SETI@home, and hope that you rejoin us in our search for signals from other worlds.
