Intersting DC related arcticle on /.

Well it makes a very valid point. There is no real point to SETI and it is unlikely to yield any results. I think the main thing that draws people to it is the wonder (if you see what I mean) and the idea that there might be something out there.

Personally, I do F@H because it is more useful. If you are going to be doing a DC project, you may as well put your time into something that can be seen / will help people at the end of it.

No offense to any SETIers intended :rolleyes:
 
Another nail in the coffin for S@H TBH.

I think although its still the dominant project, a lot of people have seen that nothing is going to come of it and moved on to projects where there is real world benefit.

And the fact that one of S@H's founders has seen this light kind of says it all.
 
Be great if all SETI people changed to Folding or another equally useful project but just like the article quoted most SETIers see it as a competition.

I can understand reluctance in changing when you have 100k+ worth of points!
