What If Aliens Came To Save the Galaxy From Mankind?
astroengine writes with an amusing piece in Discovery. From the article: "In a study carried out by NASA and Pennsylvania State University scientists, several intelligent extraterrestrial encounter scenarios are examined. One of the scenarios is a sci-fi favorite: what if we encounter an alien race hellbent on destroying us? However, there's a twist. This isn't mindless thuggery on behalf of the aliens, and they're not killing us to get at our natural resources; they have a cause. They want to exterminate us for the greater good of the Milky Way."
I like how it's been known for at least 4 hours now that HP, the biggest producer of PCs in the world is dropping it's PC and tablet division and moving to focus entirely on software.
Yet, rather than post that news, Slashdot has posted this.
Thank you editors, obviously your ability to ensure Slashdot is a relevant source of IT news goes well beyond anything anyone else could imagine.
It's okay though, at least we'll be prepared if aliens attack I guess.
