SETI@Home to Crunch More Data

Posted by michael on from the little-furry-animals-with-big-sharp-teeth dept.

BigDave writes: "In this article on Wired, it describes how SETI is gradually running out of data, as the current data acquisition system cannot keep up with the rate of processing (since they now have 3 million users processing data). They have acquired a new high-speed digital data recorder which is Linux-powered, and was donated by Hewlett-Packard."

    Our precious slashdot trolls scream out for vengeance:

    1. Kill all Camel Jockeys.
    2. Kill all Mohammedans.
    3. Kill all Dune Coons.
    4. Kill all Rag Heads.
    5. Kill all Towelheads.
    6. Kill all Arabs.

    Nuke their countries to hell.
    Nuke them again.
    Death to Islam.

    I piss on Mecca. I wipe my ass with the Koran. I spit upon Mohammed.

    ...this came out among some random data when my SETI@home client was processing. Maybe someone can identify it, since it seems to be in some alien language.

    Die Reihen fest geschlossen
    S.A. marschiert
    Mit ruhig festem Schritt

    Und Reaktion erschossen
    Marschier'n im Geist

    Den braunen Batallionen
    Die Straße frei
    Dem Sturmabteilungsmann

    Der Tag für Freiheit
    Und für Brot bricht an :|

    Über allen Straßen
    Die Knechtschaft dauert
    Nur mehr kurze Zeit :|
