SETI@Home 2nd Look at Possible Hits

cpk0 writes "This article from MSNBC discusses how data returned from SETI@Home users is beign retested by the Institue for a possibility of alien radio signals being included. At just over 4 years old, I think this would be the first big break for SETI@home." This is a followup to a December Slashdot story. Apparently this is getting some major attention in the mainstream media lately.

When I startet this posting, I realized, that all bad jokes about Seti@home were already made and there is nothing more to invent left. Let's try a new approach:

Recounting? That reminds me of something...
Florida, I hear you calling. Will the number of Aliens found increase or decrease when you recount the number of blibs and blurbs coming out from the Universe? Will the Federal Court of the Universe stop this recount by a 5:3?

Well, if someone could finish this pointe.

interactive SETI uploads...

I'm wondering what the *ramifications* would be if the SETI Institute marketed a peripheral accessory kit that would take sample information on its users and then uploaded it to their server and then was beamed out into the cosmos. You know, like a home anal probing kit! Just think what the Zeta Riticulans could do with that info! No more tales of weird abductions of hillbillies or ignant 3rd World peoples who still haven't invented a plow or the wheel on their own... I think I'll patent the device using USB 1.1, USB 2.0, Firewire and Firewire800, Blue*toof*, and all versions of 802.11 for the computer interface... But something tells me Warren Cuccurulo is already working on it...
