昨天收到一封信，SETI好像缺钱了

麻烦大家翻译一下

Dear xxeitx,

The SETI@home team has achieved much progress in the past year.  We have
successfully started the next phase of SETI@home by distributing data recorded
with the new seven beam data recorder.  This data is being analyzed with a new
"Multi-beam" version of SETI@home, which was released in July.  With the new
data recorder, we are looking at seven places in the sky simultaneously while
recording fourteen times as much data as before. This means we need more
volunteers like you to help us process this data. So please, tell a friend
about SETI@home.

But there is still far more to be done. Although we are pleased with the
success of last winter's funding drive, and grateful for the generosity of our
donors, we are still operating with minimal funds. These budget constraints
have forced us down to less than 3 full time employees.  With more funds we
hope to hire an additional person to maintain the servers and web site.  This
would free our existing employees to work on a method of sifting through the
results returned by your computers in order to identify candidates more
rapidly so we can re-observe them. This rapid response validation system would
also give you the ability to see the results your computers have returned in
more detail.

To keep SETI@home operating for the next year, and to provide these new
capabilities, we will need to raise approximately $476,000. Currently
SETI@home is entirely funded by donations from people like you.

We hope that you will consider making a donation to SETI@home at this time.
You can make a secure donation by credit card by clicking on the link at the
top of this e-mail. Instructions for donation by check or money order are
there as well. Unless you specify otherwise, your donation will be noted by a
star icon next to your username on the SETI@home pages and your username will
appear on our list of donors. If you do not wish to have this recognition you
may indicate that as well. Please be assured that regardless of whether or not
you choose to have your donation be anonymous, SETI@home will not share your
address with other organizations.

You can check on our fundraising progress by visiting our main site at

Thank You,

  Charles H. Townes
    (Nobel Laureate, Inventor of the Laser and Optical SETI Pioneer)
  Dan Werthimer
    (Chief Scientist, SETI@home)

我也收到了，大意是感谢你在过去的一年中所作的贡献。希望你能捐款！

我也收到了，大意是感谢你在过去的一年中所作的贡献。希望你能捐款赞助，并支持明年的运作。其实SETI每年的运作都是靠捐助人支持的。所以到年底再做做广告，拉拉赞助。

我们需要筹集大约四十七万六千美金！

我也收到了，刚开始还以为干什么，后来看看才知道是要钱来的，说全职人员只剩下2人了，好象很可怜的样子……

不是吧，只剩两个也太可惜了吧，郁闷下

俺也收到信了，还以为是表扬信呢，空欢喜一场

看看 项目能否坚持

中国人的工资是最少的，它应该往富人区发信求助

没收到呢...今年也没有拉到大笔赞助啊，富翁们赶快捐钱啊！

我们只有那么一点点闲置的计算能力！米的没有啊！

虽然说全职人员只有两人,相信来做义工的不少吧
如果有机会我也去SETI那里做义工[em02]

SETI如果没有能力支付庞大的电费,机器的维护费用的话,这项目可能会停[em08]

那咋办呢?我们大家岂不是要失业了?[em25]

他们一直缺钱的~~~

计算能力可以捐，但这$可是没有的

建议他们问问ubunu那个南非钻石王老五。

不过我有点点想捐，捐款的页面写最少十刀，十刀是人民币多少？

多谢，那再算上扣税呢？

捐款还要扣税吗？美国不是捐款后可以免税的吗？

不多啊一辆兰波吉尼[em09]

来信里有一个地址，进去后可以信用卡支付。当然是美元啊，等等美元贬值的时候多捐点。

近几个月来每月已经贬值很多了.虽然目前有回暖态势,但总体还是在贬值.
呃,我学生没钱.

那怎么捐款啊??[em21]

seti官网有donate的内容。
