A while ago, many of us SD’ers were involved in the Seti@home project. I was wondering how many of you are still letting this run on your 'puters spare time?
311 units completed here. 
I still run SETI on my home computer, but at work I switched to United Devices which is looking at proteins to potentially find a cure for cancer.
I swithed all my computers to the UD cancer project. I think it’s a lot more likely to be successful than SETI.
I am still running it, I just keep forgetting to turn it back on when I finish playing games :), and I plan on running it full time on both my web server, and file server when I get them running.
I began running SETI@home recently, and I’ve only completed four data units. Of course, I’m running it on a laptop that isn’t on all the time, and I’ve only given it 67h, 15m so far. But I like the idea of looking for intelligent life out there in the Universe.
(This is such an IMHO thread.)
I’m running SETI@Home, but I belong to another group, not the SDMB.
And, in my sick and twisted mind, I find the SETI project more worthy of my computing cycles than a cancer cure project.

For those of you interested in joining up with the United Devices project, see this link. There is an SDMB team.
Yup…I still do it. I have SETI Driver running, and it hides the command line version, so I can use that (much faster computer). It also caches units in case the Berkeley servers go down for a few days. Right now I’m at around 350 units or so.

Poll. IMHO.
Hi Chronos, see any good looking women cruise by your desk lately?
IHMO, this is a general question, addressed to the general population. Discussing the merits of the various research projects to donate your excess puter time to would be a IMHO subject. However you see fit to place the thread, really makes me no never mind though.
Glad to see that there are still a few folks donating their spare computing time. Both the UD and the Seti projects really need the help.
Yep. Only have about 33 units done so far though.
hehehe … he said unit/ … hehehe
330 units, 3258 hours. I don’t belong to a team as of yet. I’m tempted to join UD, and donate my SETI points to some team out there. Any takers?
It’s a bit like democracy, no? Individual votes are virtually zero, but if they all vanished we’d be in trouble.
I was doing it. Switched to cancer. No use finding aliens if I’m dead.
How much help am I being, though, if my machine only scores 26 against the one they offer as a comparison device?
I’m still doing SETI…671 units done.

For those of you who are using the United Devices do-hicky, you might want to give this a read. Note that there is another protein-folding project available (called Folding@Home), which is being run by Stanford University.
Just a heads-up.

up at over 380 units and well over 9800 hours
still signed up with the SDMB team and there are some guys in there who are just clocking up the cycles ! go boy go!
My mom just recently started the SETI project on our home computer. She really had me worried when I got an e-mail from her while I was at work stating that when I got home, I should not turn off our computer because it was searching for extraterrestial life forms (kinda ironic since I work at NASA.) Once she explained, I was at ease. Whatever makes her happy!
When I get home today, I am going to tell her about the United Device because it seems like a better cause.
And who ever said nothing good comes out of these boards!
1699 units

1200 units–it’s currently only running on my Sparc; I’m running the UD client on my Windows box for now.
