On Wednesday, January 10, here at the American Astronomical Society Meeting, theorist Dr. Avi Loeb from Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics led a press conference on the search for ET. “Soon, we may be eavesdropping on signals from Galactic civilizations,” said Loeb.

I don't think anyone could really doubt that theres life on other planets other than religious freaks. Would be interesting to get some radio feed from another planet. See what their life is like even though we may not understand it. Also what comes into note is how far away their planet is. The farther it is, the older the fuquency would be. Would suck to recieve a signal only to later find out its 1000 years old.

I believe electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. (normal radio waves would not be able to travel in space i believe because they need a medium to pass through (gas etc)

So basically, they have been omitting the frequency ranges for all this time....

"I don't think anyone could really doubt that theres life on other planets other than religious freaks."

Sure other people could. They're called 'sensible'. See, there's no proof of life on any other planet. There's not even reason to think there is life on any other planet. Thus, sensible people do not think there is life on other planets.

On the other hand, people who do tend to think there is life on other planets tend to be pretty sad and crazy. So pick your crowd.

quincy0191Fuck You, Norton Antivirus
I’ve been having problems with Norton Antivirus for the past few weeks, mainly relating to an issue with the ccSvcHst.exe file, which has a tendency to eat one’s entire CPU on occasion, and for little reason. The LiveUpdate feature has some influence here; if it’s not run for an extended period, and when it is run and for a short time after, it causes ccSvcHst.exe to take up 80-100% of the processor’s capacity. This is a well-documented issue online, as a quick Goog...

quincy0191It's Gettin' Hot in Herre
Pretty much everyone’s heard about the evil/saintly hacker who stole/liberated thousands of emails from a server at the University of East Anglia in England. Most publicized is the use of the word “trick” by one of the scientists when referring to climate data that did not indicate warming; essentially, the individual wished to hide the fact that there was no warming during a given period, via “creative statistics” (my term, not theirs).Plenty of climate change skep...
