this is a bit outdated now: SETI@home is a scientific experiment, run by UC Berkeley, that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.
First, download the analyzing program . It has versions for almost any computing platform, and a nice screen saver version for desktop PCs (Win9x/NT) and Macs, so it doesn't even interferes with your work! the first time you run it you'll be asked to log in, and that's it!

source of terror 2

in his speech to the labour party, Tony Blair explained very well the source of the radical islamic terror. he realizes that there is nothing the western civilization can do to correct its ways, that will make them stop. that's a good sign. however, his conclusion is still wrong. he said the extremist threats can be fought with "the power of argument, debate, true religious faith, and true legitimate politics." that is so wrong. the only way to fight extremist thread is at the point of a gun, and a good bunch of challenger tanks. what kind of debate can you have with an ideology that promotes suicide bombings in order to kill as many civilians as possible? what arguments can you use to convince them that they are wrong? there are none. these are poeple who are sure they hear God's voice, and do his orders (as Blair notes himself), and no logic or other agrument can persuade them otherwise.

now, we still have to stop new people from joining them, and that, i think, should be the result of a democratic governance in every muslim country. it may take time, but in the long run, that is the solution.

In 1997 I tried studying for a degree in physics at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev , but failed a course in thermodynamics and machanical statistics, and couldn't complete the degree. After working here and there to save money I started in studying something easyer and more appealing in 2002: Computer Science at the Tel-Aviv-Jafa College.

I am also involved in the Mozilla project, where I lead a team of people that translate Mozilla to hebrew. we have a web site at www.mozilla.org.il.

I made a page explaineing how to write Assembler code in MS-Visual C++ 6.0, you might find usefull.
