Search for Aliens with the Pirate Party!

The USPP has just launched its own BOINC/SETI search team under the name "United States Pirate Party." If you're not familiar with BOINC, its a project that basically collects volunteered CPU power and uses it to crunch numbers in the name of science. There are a lot of really cool endeavors that depend on crowd-sourced computing power, but what's cooler than searching for aliens? Check out the Seti@home site for instructions on how to download the BOINC software. It's quick, easy, and runs quietly in the background without slowing your computer. Plus, there are some pretty awesome graphic displays that show the search in progress. You could be the first person to discover alien life!


And don't forget to join the United States Pirate Party team!
