    Two days ago? The original news release by Stanford was posted on 10/21/02. The article slashdot is linking to was posted on 10/22/2002. I don't know what kind of a time warp you're living in, but today is 10/22/2002.

    Nobody has created a KarmaBot yet that would constantly refresh the slashdot homepage, and as soon as it detects a new article, goes to the linked site, grabs the article text and then posts it as a comment?

    I like science, and I like the thought that (more) intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe, but I think those Seti@Home assholes are poking a cosmic hornet's nest with a big stick.

    It should work if the requests come from different machines. I see a new distributed program here.

    Nice reminder, but it's old news. That's why you were rejected. Useful to post here though.
