SETI@home needs your help
不仅仅只是贡献你的计算机时间,而且还需要贡献你的银子.28号收到SETI@home的信,由于现在没有自己的PC,所以已经好久没有运行它了,不过过年期间我还会把它当作屏保的,更多的了解它.
Dear box,
SETI@home needs your help. The SETI@home team has accomplished much in the
past 6 months. We have successfully depolyed the “enhanced” version of
SETI@home. The new seven beam data recorder has been installed at Arecibo
and is recording the data that will be analyzed in the next phase of
SETI@home. Server components required for the analysis of this data are
being beta tested. Changes to the SETI@home application to improve the
analysis of this data will be released soon. With this new data recorder,
we have the ability to look at seven places in the sky simultaneously
while recording fourteen times as much data as before. This means we will
need more volunteers like you to help us process this data. So please,
tell a friend about SETI@home (See:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
But there is still far more to be done. Although we are pleased with the
success of our spring funding drive, and grateful for the generosity of
our donors, we could not afford to do everything we had hoped. In spite of
the progress we have made, we would like to be able to sift through the
results returned by your computers in order to identify candidates more
rapidly so we can re-observe them. This rapid response validation system
would also give you the ability to see the results your computers have/has
returned in more detail. (For more information see:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
To keep SETI@home operating for the next year, and to provide these new
capabilities, will require approximately $540,000. Currently SETI@home is
entirely funded by donations from people like you.
We hope that you will consider making a donation to SETI@home at this
time. You can make a secure donation by credit card on our website
(http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
check or money order are there as well. Unless you specify otherwise, your
donation will be noted by a star icon next to your username on the
SETI@home pages and your username will appear on our list of donors. If
you do not wish to have this recognition you may indicate that as well.
Please be assured that regardless of whether or not you choose to have
your donation be anonymous, SETI@home will not share your address with
other organizations.
You can check on our fundraising progress by visiting our main site at
