<blockquote>Whether Seti is a "scientific" project or not is irrelevant here, as Seti has had an epoch-making influence in distributed computer technology! They developed the technology which made us able to participate in this and other projects!

Yes, my words. People love to look for 'little green men'. BOINC is here because people of SETI@home made it. I prefer LHC, but I'm grateful to SETI@home that they made it possible for me to participate in LHC through the creation of BOINC.
