1) Message boards : SETI Perspectives : The Drake Equation: Revisiting a Classic Tool to Estimate the Odds of Contact (Message 1988916) Posted 5 Apr 2019 by Mikenstein Post: Just to play God's advocate for a moment. Since in the major branches of monotheism God Gave us free will. What makes anyone think he or she would have put all of his or her faith in one race of beings? That's like pputting all of the eggs in one basket!

2) Message boards : SETI Perspectives : The Drake Equation: Revisiting a Classic Tool to Estimate the Odds of Contact (Message 1988915) Posted 5 Apr 2019 by Mikenstein Post: While I will always donate my spare computer time to SETI@home. Recently I began to wonder, considering the vastness of space. When we receive an "intelligent signal" and try to respond, will anyone at the source remember that a signal was sent? Or even be alive? Consider the Voyager spacecraft that left the solar system. IF it is ever found by another race, will anyone be here? if so will anyone remember what the voyagers were meant to do? Perhaps I'm off the subject somewhat but that is what my first thoughts were after reading the first part of the post.

4) Message boards : SETI Perspectives : Was Our Solar System “Probed” Last Year? (Message 1984183) Posted 8 Mar 2019 by Mikenstein Post: I found your post fascinating. I hope my comments do not paint me as some kind of Sci-Fi junkie, my degree is in IT so my knowledge of astronomy and astrophysics could fit in a thimble. But one part of your post referred to the "Visitor" having an orbit that took it around the Sun. As a fan of Science Fiction I could not help but remember the often used literary device of "Sling Shooting" around the sun to achieve speeds capable of achieving Time Travel. While the Visitor is not quite at that velocity, it makes me wonder what might happen if some one actually did it on purpose? The Visitor is accelerating, perhaps this is the boost that is causing the phenomenon? I'll need to sit down and read everything further, because it peaks my inquisitive mind.

I was Network + Certified before arthritis relegated me into early retirement! It's not the easiest job! and tough to get into! Besides it's probably "THE DARK WEB" at work! We just need a Jedi to combat it! LOL!

7) Questions and Answers : Windows : New version of Win10 not running BOINC Screensaver (Message 1868630) Posted 21 May 2017 by Mikenstein Post: Try downloading Slim Drivers. It is a free updater. If you do make sure you set it to back up your previous drivers. Then once I get any and all driver updates I uninstall it, and also go into the registry and remove all traces of the program. I likes to run in the back ground and gets annoying so it goes bye-bye. And no it won't fix the screen saver problem!
