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?
              \_ Yes.  I thought they were referring to SETI@Home.
                 mea culpa -dans
           \_ last time i checked the seti@home folks hit up cogent to
              give them cheap transit. seti@home's transit is separate
              from commodity transit for the rest of campus - erikk
        \_ It doesn't look like they want programmers.
        \_ Where's the Search for Domestic Intelligence program?
           \_ Buried out in the desert.  Possibly in Syria.
        \_ Do you get to have sex with Matthew Mcconaughey and later lose your
           job because he questions your faith in God?
           \_ I think the movie would have been better without that sex plot.
              It didn't fit in with the rest of the movie.
              \_ Huh? What movie?
                 \_ Contact, I assume.
                    \_ Oh. I only read the book and I don't remember a sex plot.
                       \_ that's because it wasn't there in the book.

        \_ They have reached their cap on car passes!  Ahh!  I wish I heard
           about this earlier! :-(
        \_ I saw it above HW 101 in San Mateo this morning.  I wonder how many
           people in the Bay Area watched it (the real thing, not a broadcast.)

              astronomer.  --- !OP

        http://www.csua.org/u/sov (news.yahoo.com)
        WOW!
        \_ This was published in the Journal of Cosmology.  Here's a
           description of the very first paper they published, in 2009:

11/22   What no chatter about the Climate Hack?  MOTD, I'm so diappointed
        \_ What is impressive about breaking onto an academic server? I
           broke onto the Astronomy machines when I was a sophmore.
           \_ Way to miss the point. The hack itself was not impressive.
              The information that was exposed, however, make the above
              thread kind of moot.

        I just hope that copycats won't pop up everywhere and cause airline
        crashes.
        \_ How did they beat NASA?  This is cool, but comparing it to
           NASA is just stupid.

You will work with scientists at the SETI Institute and at the nearby NASA Ames Research Center on projects spanning the field of astrobiology from microbiology to observational astronomy. The program includes a week-long field trip to the SETI Institute's Allen Telescope Array, located at the Hat Creek Radio Astronomy Observatory in Northern California, as well as a field experience at hydrothermal systems at nearby Lassen Volcanic National Park. Students will also participate in local field trips to places like the California Academy of Sciences and other nearby locations of scientific interest, and attend seminars, lectures, and discussions on astrobiology. You will live in dormitory housing on the campus of the NASA Ames Research Center and observatory facilities at Hat Creek. At the end of the summer you will give presentations on your research projects, and the best projects will be selected for submission to a national scientific conference, which the selected students will be funded to attend.
