For ten years I've been doing my bit listening out for alien chatter and there's been bugger all.

Actually, we're already here...we have disguised ourselves as cheap Indian IT workers and are already TAKING OVER YOUR WORLD!!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Where's these aliens then, eh?

I just realised my SETI@Home account is a little over ten years old.

For ten years I've been doing my bit listening out for alien chatter and there's been bugger all.

9.83 years of processing time I've donated. I've burned out the fan and processor in a laptop for them.

So where's these bloomin' aliens?

And across all the BOINC projects, I've done 112 x 10^15 FLOPS. But still no aliens or cure for malaria or nuffink.

Is this all just a waste of CPU time?
