  1. I fit the profile on Ask Slashdot: Geeks Stereotypes and Their Origins · · Score: 1

    I work on unix device drivers for a living, I'm an atheist, play metal guitar, and Half-Life rules!

    I guess I fit the profile.

    I took a device-drivers class once and this topic came up. About 50% of the class were atheists or agnostic. I have a feeling that's a bit diff from what you'd find from a sample of the general population. How about a ./ poll? Heck it was my senior yr. in high school before I even *told* any of my friends I was an atheist just because I thought everybody would think I was a freak.

  2. Re:What Else can we distribute? How about renderin on The Truth About SETI@Home · · Score: 1

    I always thought it would be cool if someone was doing an animated movie like "a bug's life" on a shoestring budget using the net as their render farm. That would be way cooler than encryption cracking or SETI. Of course, the rendering is the easy part, coming up with a decent script, doing all the 3d modelling (coming up with all the frames that need to be rendered), and then there's the audio...It would be tough, but man it would sure be cool...
