SETI you mean the search for extra terrestrial intelligence?
Paul one of the founders used to be in my ham radio club he was a real characture.
SETI is really done with large radio telescopes or at least that was how it was run before the funding dried up. Then they tried to get homeowners and hobbiests to use their old TVRO dishes and link them together.
I haven't kept up with the program in years and I don't think they have ever detected anything yet.

yes - that SETI
I think they got to set up their own telescope array, but they just lost their funding and are trying to get private donations to keep it up

just looked it up - the Allen Array named after Paul Allen. I'm assuming that's not the Paul you are talking about
 
I'm talking about Proffesor Paul Shuch who started the SETI League in 1994 after all goverment and NASA funding was cut off.

I found a couple statistics interesting.

1) Netflix users on a game console use twice as much as the average Netflix user. This may be because they are watching on the big screen TV and therefore tend to select HD content. I think it is also driven by the lack of any tools to select a lower resolution stream on a game console, compared to the Silverlight player on a PC or Mac. Not sure about that, since the CTL-ALT-SHIFT-S trick is not widely publicized.

2) Usage in Canada abruptly dropped by more than half when Netflix added stream rate selection to account profiles and sent out an email telling people about it.

Interesting they say highest usage is on weekends, and peak is at 10pm for non-gamers and 11pm for gamers. I don't know what that says, except maybe gamers don't have to get up at 6am and go to work? Or they believe in the Warren Zevon song "I'll sleep when I'm dead." (I guess he's sleeping now.)"
 
interesting
obviously, gamers don't have a spouse to go to bed with
