SETI@home Becomes Part of BOINC

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hard-to-choose dept.

Sudoku writes "On December 15th the Seti@home project will stop issuing new work to members and integrate with BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. Once members have moved over to the BOINC client they can divide their computing time between such projects as climate prediction, search for gravitational signals emitted by pulsars and yes, you can still look for the aliens."

    1 in infinity billion is so close to zero in infinity billion that you have virtually the same chance of finding aliens if you use SETI than if you do nothing at all.
