EINSTEIN@HOME - Team FreeBSD
A team dedicated to the users of FreeBSD running BOINC under linux compatibility mode, or a native FreeBSD BOINC build. Team FreeBSD is dedicated to users of FreeBSD, but not limited to JUST the users. Anyone with the interest in developing a community of people interested in technology, open standards, NIX or BSD based operating systems are welcome and encouraged to earn credits and share ideas and conversation.

Anyone on Freenode?

I am most of the time connected to irc://irc.freenode.org as "vexor". You may sometimes find me in the background of #freebsd usually just taking in information related to FreeBSD, though when the talk is off topic, I will chime in if I am interested.
I am sure many of you also use this resource. How about sharing your handle in the comment area of this post? If you feel like chatting, feel free to message me. See you all on Freenode!

finding water based planets: Doppler wobble, transit searches, interferometric astrometry, direct imaging and the Precision Radial Velocity Spectrometer
31 March, 2009 22:34
This article is a short good read, in my opinion.
"Astronomers may be on the brink of discovering a second Earth-like planet, a find that would add fresh impetus to the search for extraterrestrial life, according to the US journal Science. Astronomers from six major centers, including NASA, Harvard and the University of Colorado, outline how advances in technology suggest scientists are on the verge of being able to detect the presence of small, rocky planets, much like our own, around distant stars for the first time. The planets are considered the most likely habitats for extraterrestrial life." - [The Daily Galaxy]
The article explains several methods for doing such observations, including: Doppler wobble, transit searches, interferometric astrometry, direct imaging and the Precision Radial Velocity Spectrometer.

Pat yourself on your back - we are now strong with over 10,000,000 credits!

Team FreeBSD has been racking in the CPU cycles since February of 2005, over four years! Pat yourself on your back - we are now strong with over 10,000,000 credits!
We have a strong standing position with the EINSTEIN@HOME Project. We have shown our community and ourselves that FreeBSD is stable and forever strong in our world.
As busy as this team has been during these years, many of the founding team members are still earning credits and participating in this project. All of Team FreeBSD's members have helped greatly to accomplish what these scientists are researching for our understanding - resulting in the greater good of humanity and its development. Here is everyone that is still present on our team and has helped move us to the 10,000,000 mark:

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:
EINSTEIN@HOME is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. EINSTEIN@HOME is a World Year of Physics 2005 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted
''It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure'' -- Albert Einstein
