SETI Finally Finds Something


This is the news title I saw a few minutes ago and I was delighted about it. I installed SETI's software a long time ago to help finding extraterrestrial intelligence, a.k.a., aliens. Wikipedia has a page about SETI.

SETI@Home is the project to use computation power from Internet users that are willing to donate their available CPU cycles to help searching for patterns in signals captured from outer space. SETI@Home has found something useful: one of the volunteers found his wife's stolen laptop using IP address reported by the SETI@Home client installed on it. After getting back the laptop, his wife said that she always knew a geek would make a good husband.
