SETI@home finds something…
February 21, 2007 – 8:31 pmWell, they didn’t find another lifeform, but they did help find this guys laptop!
Annoyed - and alarmed that someone could delete the screenplays and novels that his wife, Melinda Kimberly, was writing - Melin monitored the SETI(at)home database to see if the stolen laptop would “talk” to the Berkeley servers. Indeed, the laptop checked in three times within a week, and Melin sent the IP addresses to the Minneapolis Police Department.
