Distributed computing experiment SETI@home will be switched off on December 15 as it becomes part of the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC). The BOINC site will allow boffins to build other volunteer computing projects in areas like molecular biology, high-energy physics, and climate change study.
How sad! I’ve used SETI@home for years. Guess I’ll just have to keep sending my extra computing resources to Folding@home. And we never even found aliens…

One Response for "SETI@home killed off"
i’m dedicating my extra computing resources to mother nature. ie, i turn my computer off when i’m not using it.
unless your computer is solar powered, in which case i’m all for giving away computing power
