Interview With a SETI Astronomer

Posted by Hemos on from the the-craft-behind-the-scenes dept.

Siduri writes "We at Pigdog Journal conducted an interview with SETI astronomer Seth Shostak, and I think it's pretty interesting. He talks about the technical details behind what SETI and SETI@home do (the two programs are very different), and he speculates about the nature of alien intelligence. He's also quite funny."

    I guess funny is as funny does...

    Maybe you have to be an alien or BIG DORKY SLASHDOT NERD FUCK to find him amusing.

    You want funny? THIS is funny:

  2. "Astronomer" ? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Give me a break, an astronomer is someone that does real work, like physically goes into outer space and does real exploration. Not some fat ass nerd that thinks hes going to find ET by using distributed computing to decipher "alien radio signals". Give me a fucking break, they are never going to find anything, its all a crock of shit.
