Sounds very wasteful to me.  Why would a Type II civilization expend
so much energy just to contact a lowly Type I civilization like us?

Unfortunately his execution will not bring the people he killed back to life
nor will it make reparations to the surviving relatives.
I know religious works say "if a man takes a life then he forfits his own"
but doing that only takes two lives, not one.

This does not belong here but you might get the message
Well you can forget about UFO and those tubby "gremlins" you see in
illustrations.
Aliens are not ugly, shadowy creatures with only evil, they are

I have not been running BOINC for a while, as my CPY ran too hot during the
hot autumn and summer we have had.
Now I run it again, and off course I have overdue workunits to finish, or
abort.

Just thinking out-of-the-box here...
Apart from the usual SETI efforts to detect microwave or laser pulse
communications from ETIs, there is another way to detect intelligent life in
the Galaxy, by looking for interstellar probes from extra terrestials. This

    Not really a down side but I got your attention.
    It may be 15+ years in the future but bureaucracies do not change in so few years.
    So regardless of that might appear a better objective and even if the first
short term stays on the moon turn out to be remarkably not worth a ...

I would like to ask question about detection ability of SETI receivers.
Are they able to detect military radars?
You know, the situation when 30 ly distant military radar is working at
max power, and attempts to find and kill the target and by accident it

Don't ask and perhaps I wont have to tell about the ongoing unofficial
censorship of ET truth and nothing but the truth. As in WOW!, looks as

This topic has evolved from my past posts in a measured attempt to
explain the prospects in ultra-high speed networks as to consider the
development of a system that far surpasses the speed that

Over the last several months I get, on ocassion, a work unit that shows
"Preempted".
Can someone expalin what the is all about?
It seems to be related the "Report Deadline" but I'm just speculating on
