The question of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence is often asked. My personal feelings are that the possibliity of life existing elsewhere in the universe is possible, and perhaps even likely. Whether or not there is any intelligent life in the universe is a much more difficult question in light of the way some things are going here on our home planet. My personal feelings are that mankind will likely never know with any certainty the answer to the question of extraterrestrial intelligence.
I do, however, try not to deny the possibility of anything being a reality. The "Search For Extraterestrial Intelligence at Home" (SETI) group at the University of California at Berkeley has organized a worldwide community of PC users who collectively share the computational power of their home computers to create one of the most powerful number crunchers in the world in their quest for extraterrestrial radio signals.
By downloading the SETI@home program, you too can join in the search. The program can be set to run as a screensaver when your PC is idle or it can be set as a screensaver that will run 100% of the time in the background if your processor and RAM are sufficient to allow it. If nothing else, the screensaver is fun and interesting to watch.
