4/3     I wrote a script that does a ps to see if my sysadm is doing
        top or is logged into my machine so I can kill the setiathome
        process. What are some other ways he could check to see if I'm
        running something heavy? I've thought about "ssh machine ps aux"
        because it's too fast for my ps to grep, what else?
        \_ Why not run   setiathome -nice 20
                \_ because he said he doesn't want anything to do with
                   seti, period, end of conversation.
        \_ It's only a matter of time before you get busted so instead of
           wasting your time on 'sneaky' scripts that only compound your guilt,
           you're better off either job hunting or coming up with whatever lame
           excuse you'll need to make when caught violating system policy.  Why
           do the users always think they can 'get away' with stuff?  Seti is
           the lamest reason I can think of for making trouble for yourself. If
           you don't own the hardware, the net, and don't pay for it then you
           have no business fucking around on it.
        \_ rename the executeable something like "top" or "matlab", run it,
           then remove the executeable file.

3/17    SETI is offering ug's internships for the summer:
        http://www.seti.org/site/pp.asp?c=ktJ2J9MMIsE&b=1453253
        \_ Is SETI still paying *way* too much for transit because campus
           policies prevent them from negotiating their own peering
           agreements? -dans
           \_ are you confusing SETI with setiathome.ssl?

3/2     emarkp, I can't wait till we have ET contact. I hope they come down
        and use their superior technology to convince us that their
        religion is better than all the religions on earth.
        \_ Then run SETI@@Home with your idle CPU cycles.

11/5    Are there any commercial products out there that do something similar
        in fuction to SETI?  In other words, I'm looking for something that
        will let me split up a large job among a bunch of workstations in an
        office environment (or over the net) like SETI but due to "management
        requirements" it has to be commercially available.  Anything at all
        like that out there?  Thanks!
