LOL What a joke!!! :D


"You simply must be an active SETI member with us for at least 1 month previous to collect money for reaching the following goals.



SETI Units processed (when you hit these numbers, you collect):

100 = $5.00 500 = $20.00 1000 = $50.00"

Let's see, for a lot of people 1000WU's is how long 1 maybe 2 years?
DUH...
Who thinks up this nonsense anyway? :)

Hmm.. I'm coming up on 4,000... maybe I join 'em, collect $200.00 and then leave, re-join TA, and give the funds to the GameBox project?

Nah, too much effort, and they probably would go for it anyways...

Might be an interesting way to bankrupt 'em though! :p

Got a link for that SilverBack? Am I reading this right? They are paying people to produce SETI units for them? If my math is right that's about $.05 per unit. Let's see... I can do a bit over 60 WU/day so that comes out to just under $100/month. Are they paying for WU's past 1000? Who's paying for this anyway?

It's a load of crap used to get people to join that S@H team. That guy also spammed that junk to a big load of usenet groups, including ones that had totally nothing to to with distributed computing.

The guy is a spammer, and I forwarded his posts to both his ISP and S@H.

Hydra: You got an Email address for him/her? I freaking hate spammers and I take every opportunity to sign them up for "free pr0n by Email". They spam me, I spam them back! ;)

Badthad: Here's one I use... For spammers! I've never actually tested it on an address to see how well it works but I use it for any spammers I find. In case you're wondering how I found it, I was cruising our proxy log at work and our receptionist (he's male) was on it. Needless to say, he's not straight. :)

Ok folks here is the response I got from them. I figures for 14,800+ work units I would be in for big bucks.......but no.............:( LOL

We don't give people gifts for joing our team, just for attaining our
milestones and being an active member on our team. After being on our team for a little while, you would be able to receive gifts for passing the 100, 500, and 1000 milestones. We will be adding other milestones in the future (5,000, 10,000) which would both be over $100. You would be qualified for those as soon as we added
them.

DanStp: That sounds kinda stupid (not you - him). Consider this... I leave TA SETI and join this dudes team. I bust out ~60 WU/day so I can get his 1000 WU's in under 3 weeks. I stick around for a month, collect my cash (if he pays), and leave his team only to rejoin TA SETI bringing all of my WU's back with me. There's nothing to stop me or anyone else from doing just that. Of course, if he's willing to give me a "free" $50 I'll be happy to take it... ;)
