OT: Space Empires and Seti@Home

Some of you are aware of the Seti@Home project (using many different computers for SETI). There is a group "Space Empires" that is nearing it's 20,000th work unit. IMO that's quite an accomplishment for just 14 participants. Check it out - you may see a few familiar names...

That is so cool!

Cool! Zenbudo and sven pushed us over the 20K mark w/ plenty of room to spare!!! However I don't think the page has completely updated its' calculations.

If anyone hasn't checked out Seti@Home, take a look. It is (as sachmo says) cool!!!

I personally have quite a few work units myself. In fact someone here on another thread suggested I was "heating my house" with it (with all the spare CPU's I have running the process)..

Reguardless, most if not all that visit these forums probably have some interest in SETI......

I've seen the page now and I don't understand what they mean. What do they mean with 20000+ year cpu time? And what do you mean with plenty room to spare? Please explain.
