SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020
FTL writes "Based on the Drake Equation, Moore's Law, and the Allen Telescope, a new prediction has been made that Earth will make first contact with aliens within 20 years. Of course once we find the first aliens there's the question of can we decode their signals, would they spot our reply, and what's the lag time."
Come on, get serious! This is just plain ridiculous. Now, who wants a Super-Sized Big Mac meal with extra fries? Don't forget that apple pies are two for a dollar! Let me just get out of this chair...doh. Well, it has wheels, I'll just roll it to the golden arches.
