SETI Goes to Arecibo To Stat *Candidates*

Posted by Hemos on from the peering-into-the-future dept.

Neuropol writes "In the most rescent Seti@home news letter. Seti recieved (only!) 24 hours of telescope time at Arecibo to investigate interesting points in the sky where signals have not only shown up once but several times in data crunches in the last 4 years. The Planetary Society web site has an excellent summary of the reobservations. The Seti web site lists the reobservation targets and the 7,000 users whose computations directly contributed to finding them."

    It spends most of it's time searching for a small, pea-sized object. Unfortunately your brain is yet to reveal itself

    I can mention stem cell research and how it will keep my fat cancer ridden pale white body alive long enough to fly to the moon. IN AN ARTICLE ABOUT SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

    What are you cryin for?

    My mother smoked while I was in her womb, for years growin up, despite being geeky smart, my behavior was erradict. (noisiest in class, never sitting still)

    Until I started chain smoking at 10 (I love you cigarette machine)

    Despite school, and everyone else trying to deny my stoge, when I started to use nicotine on a consistant basis my grades IMPROVED because I could actually sit still for a minute and concentrate. No it wasn't ADD, I suffered from, I truly believe I was suffering from nicotine withdrawel all those years.

    THANKS MOM YOU FUCKING WHORE I HOPE YOU DIE CUNT!

    It's a clear enough observation, fairly clearly stated. Your reaction is typical of the knee-jerk anti-creation brigade: "let's swamp the question with content-free ridicule and contempt".

    How about either:

    a) Providing a constructive counter-argument
    b) Learning English so as to be able to understand the OP's point
