It has processed billions of signals and saved millions of years of computing time, and done all sorts of record breaking mind boggling things.
But dont you think we should have used that power for something a LOT more useful? Something we could ALL benefit from? You know what im talking about!
WHAT could POSSIBLY be more important than finding "aliens", I hear you say...
We could have used this power to FIGURE OUT WOMEN!!!
(Tho that may actually be quite a bit harder than finding aliens... I dont know)

ah but you see, there is a fundamental flaw in all the reasonings....
SETI searhced radio frequencies or some such that actually exist, ie that raw data is there to be processed...there is no raw data on women
besides which, at least the search for Aliens has a small hope for success...understanding women? Come on...that's just far fetched...

Fundemental fact really, rather spend huge amounts of time and energy searching for something hard to find when if found can be used to solve alot of things than it is searching for small (the now/why) things.
Also Theoreticly speaking, if the aliens have technology to turn unorganic matter(table) into organic matter(monkey) at the very least they will have a device that can pick up brain patterns that discern emotions.

King Milo IV, you think figuring out women is stupid? Oooooooookay..... Perhaps we should have used all that SETI power to figure out a way to grow you a sense of humour...
Ablaghada: IN-organic (tsk, tsk)
As an update, I have decided there is no point in trying to figure out women, instead Im going to let them figure ME out... Its not that hard really, all they have to do is listen to Bloke by Chris Franklin, the male answer to Bitch by Meredith Brooks...

I wonder if the aliens we find will understand women better... They will probably have had a LOT longer to work them out than us after all...

Thought I'd post a few pics of the Climate change project up for interests sake.
I am still looking into finishing this spare machine of mine and adding it to the pool.

How about a V9 group?

Sounds like a good idea. If there is a group then I will most definately sign up. I will just need to be guided in setting it all up.
Four upgrades, two Core2 Duo computers, 16 Gigs of RAM, 1.6Tb HDD, one daughter, and 4 years later..........
Still no closer to an answer

May 10 2007, 12:15 AM
Thanks,
Though she is learning to talk very quickly now, so I have to moderate my swearing The only saving grace is that she cant manage the "F" and "K" sounds, so she runs around screaming "Bugger bugger bugger".
I think its funny, but her mom and grans dont, so there we go... WOMEN!&%^*$

Doin well Pauly, enjoying the slow life Hows things up there my greasy love monkey?
cyfermaster: Ill put a video up of her running around screaming "Bugger! bugger! bugger!". Bandwidth is cheaper than a baby!!!!!!!! I have also taught her to say "Crikey, have a look at this bugger" in honour of Steve Irwin, though it usually comes out as "Kwaaikee bugger"
