Exceptional re-link: SETI at home could be the smartest idea NSA ever had

Sorry for re-linking[1] to a HN post I posted two days ago, but I'd like to exceptionally take the chance to give this a bit more visibility (so to hear your opinions), because when I first posted it I erroneously decided to send it late at night and very few people could see it... So I hope you can forgive me.. Also, the argument of the post itself it's not even based on a proven fact(!), so I am guilty two times, but hopefully this could sparkle an interesting, constructive and maybe enlightening debate.
