People say I'm crazy when I lean close to then on a bus and tell them my computer is always doing something strange in the early hours of the morning - and how I just KNOW its something to do with aliens.
I'm from Adelaide, Australia, so people are used to seeing wierd crazy people muttering about aliens. I fit right in. I'm an aspiring software engineer and I'm also running the folding@home client, distributed dot net's client and I if I ever find a opt. gol. ruler to hit someone with across the knuckles, I WILL!
Well, thats all from me. 42... 42 is the answer we are looking for. |

Of course extraterrestrial life exists, but who's to say intelligence is a pre-requiste to anything?
We can all hope, but who's to say that the aliens aren't as perfectly adapted to their environments as, say, an ant, which hasn't really changed in the last few million years.
Also, I just don't know about what we will do once we have a signal, it would be nigh on impossible to find meaning in it... and its not like we can just fly to a far off star, pop in, and say "hello, um, did you send this radio-telegram? You did? oh, goodie, say what does it mean by 'FDGDSFHG?'"
I think humans should transmit a beacon, because at the moment (as far as I know), we aren't really doing much in that area. Sure, the aliens can be sitting around getting excited about reruns of the simpsons, but I think we need to send out a signal of unmistakeable nature...
