Scientists, not content with using house-bound pcs to see if there are little green men, are now asking us to harness the power of our screensavers to see if they can predict the weather.
I’ve run the SETI screensaver program on various pcs over the years and I’ve yet to hear if little green men have been found. Now the BBC is lending its brand power to let weather boffins predict the weather better than my local gypsy fortune teller (”Cross my palm with saliva and I’ll tell you your future”).
Seeing as how weather prediction is slightly more agnostic and secular a subject than extra terrestrials (and whether the earth is the only place you will ever find life as we know it, Jim), might I ask you to consider wandering over to the Beeb’s site, downloading the 10mb file and installing it?
Apparently 10,000 screensavers will help the boffins immeasurably — imagine what half a million will do?*
