    1. Cheat on SETI

    2. ....

    3. PROFIT!!

    No seriously....I don't know why either. What a joke. Is having the best group worth hurting a perfectly good and (arguably) noble program such as SETI? I can understand games - but this? Let me guess they are the same people who bitch that think they need a quad xeon box for a single web site with less than 300 hits a day.

    No, but they have those funky half-sized parking stops that don't exist anywhere on the east coast. Having recently moved to the west coast, I think that's the primary difference.
