 SETI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SETI has occasionally been the target of criticism by those who suggest that it is a form of pseudoscience.
A basic assumption of SETI is that of "Mediocrity" [1]: the idea that humanity is not exotic in the Cosmos but in a sense "typical" or "medium" when compared with other intelligent species.
SETI advocates did not give up, and in 1995 the nonprofit "SETI Institute" of Mountain View, California, resurrected the work under the name of Project "Phoenix", backed by private sources of funding.

 SETI@home - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Even before the project went live, people were commenting, on SETI related public mailing lists, that many people might have false expectations of the likelihood of any one project finding an extraterrestrial intelligence, or of one being found within a specific amount of time.
SETI@home ("SETI at home") is a grid computing (distributed computing in the project's own terminology) project using Internet-connected computers, hosted by the Space Sciences Laboratory, at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States.
Currently there is no government funding for SETI research and private funding is always limited.

 SETI
The roots of SETI in its modern form, as a search for artificial signals over interstellar and even intergalactic distances, can be traced back to the 1930s with the discovery by Karl Jansky of radio waves coming from a source outside the Solar System.
In the Soviet Union, SETI was seen as a natural outcome of communist philosophy and, partly for this reason, became quickly established as a respectable field of research.
The first practical proposals in SETI were made in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but were aimed only at interplanetary communication (see communication, with the Moon and planets).

 SETI@home FAQ for newsgroups alt.sci.seti and sci.astro.seti.
Should discussion about the SETI@home project and the SETI project in general begin to crowd eachother, a second newsgroup devoted solely to SETI@home will be created with the name "alt.sci.seti.at-home" leaving "alt.sci.seti" for discussion of the SETI project.
It appears from the table that effective amateur SETI explorations can be conducted out beyond approximately 30 light years provided the processing bandwidth is near the minimum (approximately 0.1 Hz), the system temperature is minimal (20 to 50 Degrees Kelvin), and the EIRP of the source (transmitter) is greater than approximately 25 terawatts.
SETI had obvious concerns, that their algorithms might be programmed incorrectly.

 About SETI@home
SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is a scientific area whose goal is to detect intelligent life outside Earth.
Previous radio SETI projects have used special-purpose supercomputers, located at the telescope, to do the bulk of the data analysis.
In 1995, David Gedye proposed doing radio SETI using a virtual supercomputer composed of large numbers of Internet-connected computers, and he organized the SETI@home project to explore this idea.

 SETI: The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
For more background on SETI history and the cancellation of NASA's SETI program, you may want to read an article from the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society.
Part of the cancelled program was picked up by the private, non-profit SETI Institute, and a smaller part by the non-profit, grassroots SETI League.
In late 1959 and early 1960, the modern SETI era began when Frank Drake conducted the first such SETI search at approximately the same time that Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison published a key journal article suggesting this approach.

 Guardian Unlimited Technology Technology Scientists, be on guard ... ET might be a malicious hacker
All signals picked up by Seti are broken up and sent across the internet to a vast band of volunteers who have signed up for a Seti screensaver, which allows their computers to crunch away at the signals, when they are not at their desks.
Rather than dismiss his concerns, Dr Carrigan wants the Seti scientists to build safety features into their network to act as a quarantine so any potentially damaging signals can be trapped before they infect the internet.
In his report, entitled Do potential Seti signals need to be decontaminated?, he suggests the Seti scientists may be too blase about finding a signal.
