S.E.T.I. and Star Trek "Insurection team up to search for exterestial life

A joint effort known as SETI@Home has been created by paramount pictures and the S.E.T.I. group. The fundemental principle behind SETI@home is to enable individual users at their home PC's to particapate in the analysis of information obtained by the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico "SETI@home is an innovative screen saver, developed at U.C. Berkeley by David Anderson and Dan Werthimer, that people can use to download and analyze data scanned from the sky � some of which may contain a potential signal from an extraterrestrial civilization." For a more complete rundown of the Seti@home project just go to the Seti@home information and Signup page
