They've found that DNS is good?? How didn't I realize that before??? All this time remembering sites names like 66.35.250.251 and 216.239.37.99 for nothing =((
What would stop them to rampant rise the prices when almost everyone will be using their services and will have abandoned free (i.e, pirate) p2p networks?
It's a nice plan for them... start with 5 cents, make everyone dependent (addicted) on it, then start charging 30 cents... and then $1,50... and so on...
Let serve as motivation the fact that anyone who can actually proof (but not disproof) the Riemann Hipothesis will won a prize of US$ 1E6 (i.e, US$ 1000000.00)!
A recent (September 1) article in New Scientist magazine, entitled " Mysterious signals from 1000 light years away," implies that the Berkeley SETI@home project has uncovered a very convincing candidate signal that might be the first strong evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Alas, this story is misleading. According to Dan Werthimer, who heads up the Berkeley SERENDIP SETI project, this is a case of a reporter failing to understand the workings of their search. He says that misquotes and statements taken out of context give the impression that his team is exceptionally impressed with one of the many candidate signals, SHGb02+14a, uncovered using the popular SETI@home software. They are not.
This signal has been found twice by folks using the downloadable screen saver. That fact resulted in the Berkeley team putting it on their list of 'best candidates'. Keep in mind that SETI@home produces 15 million signal reports each day. How can one possibly sort through this enormous flood of data to sift out signals that might be truly extraterrestrial, rather than merely noise artifacts or man-made interference?
The scheme used is simple in principle (although the technical details are complex): SETI@home data come from a receiver on the Arecibo radio telescope that is incessantly panning the sky, riding "piggyback" on other astronomical observations. Every few seconds, it sweeps another patch of celestial real estate, and records data covering many millions of frequency channels. Some of these data are then distributed for processing by the screen saver. By chance, the telescope will sweep the same sky patch every six months or so. If a signal is persistent - that is to say, it shows up more than once when the telescope is pointed at the same place, and at the same frequency (after correction for shifts due to the motion of the Earth) - then it becomes a candidate. Of course, being persistent doesn't mean that the source is always on, only that it is found multiple times.
In February of this year, Werthimer and his colleagues took a list of two hundred of the best SETI@home candidate signals to Arecibo and deliberately targeted that mammoth antenna in the directions to which the scope was pointed when they were found. Once subjected to this closer inspection, all but one of these signals failed to show. That disqualifies them from being claimed as true detections of a persistent signal. The one that was found again, SHGb02+14a (the subject of the New Scientist article), will no doubt be observed yet again, but according to Paul Horowitz, who heads up the Harvard SETI efforts, the statistics of noise make it fairly likely that at least one of the candidates observed in February would reappear, even if all these signals were simply due to receiver fluctuations.
The article remarks on the strong drift of this signal, which it describes as puzzling. Of course, many terrestrial sources of interference, and in particular telecommunication satellites, show strong drifts due to changing Doppler effects as they wheel across the sky. (Incidentally, the technically inclined will want to note drift due to a planet rotating like Earth would be 0.15 Hz/sec, not the 1.5 Hz/sec mentioned in the magazine.) As for the distance of 1000 light-years claimed in the article's title, there is clearly no evidence supporting this number, other than the lack of known nearby stars in the beam.
The bottom line is that an experiment like SETI@home always has a candidate list, a table of those signals that look most promising. Indeed, you can find the current versions of this list on their web site. However, there is a great deal of difference between a candidate, and a convincing signal. If any of the major SETI experiments being run by the SETI Institute, by the Berkeley group, the folks at Harvard, or the Australians or Italians, discovers a signal that they think is of extraterrestrial origin, they will immediately take steps to confirm this, both with their own scientists and with observers at other
It IS a Countdown!
It began at 1420 MHz and is drifting at 37 Hz/s! This means... in only 444 days... it will come down to 0 Hz!!!!!!.....
Oh no !! Who are you?? Go away !! Go awayyy^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
This is not a cover-up. I repeat. There is no countdown signal. Nothing to see here.

Made me laugh:p~~~
"I have helped many companies and individuals who run companies in the GNU/Linux, BSD, and Unix world as well as those in the Microsoft world. I admire the good parts and despair the bad parts."
Oh, reallly???
The Ministry of Truth should also censor the Nature journal and the "Al" Caida web-site, as these are some of the sources Sean P. Gorman cites on some of his e-mails.. just query "sgorman1@gmu.edu" on Google...
They are just paying back microsoft its great support to republican party... there may be also some other things being paid with this amount... let's say... some kind of ARMYKEY in Windows? (Just like NSAKEY)... or maybe, a very large database full of information of citizens^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hterrorists.
