Interview With a SETI Astronomer

Posted by Hemos on from the the-craft-behind-the-scenes dept.

Siduri writes "We at Pigdog Journal conducted an interview with SETI astronomer Seth Shostak, and I think it's pretty interesting. He talks about the technical details behind what SETI and SETI@home do (the two programs are very different), and he speculates about the nature of alien intelligence. He's also quite funny."

    His speculation is all wrong.

    Lotsa love,

    We all know Seti is a complete waste of resources, why not have an article talking about how to cure aids or cancer with distributed computing?
