well, those college students that are using the internet bandwidth for whatever are also paying the tuition that helps to keep our SETI servers up, no? i mean, we think them playing games or d/ling warez is a "waste," but when we tell them they cannot do that b/c we are searching for ET, what kind of response would you expect? there are more and more distributed computing projects, SETI was the first. for instance, folding@home, which is looking for cures for cancer. i am wary to go along and d/l that client b/c i am not sure how the information might be used, ie. using my computer and then going out and making a profit off it...
