New SETI@Home Version Availabe

The first new SETI@Home version to come out in what seems like years surfaced last week. Apparently it's in response to some new nasty exploit. If you haven't upgraded yet, we recommend you do so ASAP. You can find version 3.08 here. If you're not familiar with the CIC's efforts to locate extraterrestrial life, SETI@Home lets regular people automatically sift through telescope data for strong astral signals with idle computer time. You can find details on how to join Team WCNews' efforts in our SETI section here and see how the team is doing here. Our team member Eclipse is also the creator of a very useful utility for working on multiple units. You can find information on his SetiBuffer program here.
