I have trouble with any whiney article that has crap like this in it:
"You've bit your teeth and let your box run all night because it took so long to get a unit out, right? But it is for a good cause, so you took the noise, the extra warmth in a summer night and the higher electricity bill. Well, surprise, if you had the proper client software you could have switched the damn thing off at night!"
Oh damn, the Seti@HOME people are "making" me run my computer all night (at "full throtle", no less !;-), depriving me of my daily shutdown and boot-up process that every Unix admin just can't wait for!
My opinion of his opinion: he should "get over it". The only thing driving that dude is competition with others, not the altruistic donation of *spare* computing power towards (an arguably) good cause.
If I ever write an article like that, remind me to switch to decaffinated coke.
