-SETI@home, an international scientific distributed computing project using the idle cycles of computers such as yours in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, needs your help to process data received from the Arecibo, GBT, LOFAR, MeerKatMWA & Parkes radiotelescopes. Join us today at [[https://setiathome.berkeley.edu]] !+//“Men and Women wanted for a hazardous Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Low wages, bitter false positives, long hours of data crunching, overheating CPU's and GPUs. Safe return doubtful if your beverage isn't caffeinated enough. Honour and recognition in event of technosignal detection.” -- AfternetShackleton@setiathome.berkeley.edu//
