    No, still wrong. From our perspective:

    1. "Hello are you out there?"
    2. 200 years later, they receive message, send "Yes we are, how can we help?"
    3. We receive first response (400 years total now)
    4. We send "Can you teach us FTL travel?"
    5. They receive the additional response (600 years total now)
    6. They reply "thank you for holding, can you verify your phone number please"
    7. We receive their message (totaling 800 years now)
    8. We hang up in a panic, realizing our entire planet has been outsourced.

  5. Re:It's not Optimism, on Is Extraterrestrial Life More Whimsical Than Plausible? · · Score: 2

    It may be a statistical probability, but scientifically it is actually closer to an impossibility. % of heavy metal stars, that are not binary, have rocky planets, that contain liquid water, and even in the habitable zone of their own galaxies. Which are occupied by beings which: haven't been made yet, haven't gone extinct. The fact that WE exist at all is the dirty little miracle some scientists admit, but most are embarrassed by for some reason.
    Philosophically, this is a wonderful question but those who rely on statistics should do a little more science.
    Life is hard!

    No, because Ubuntu, Quantal, and Quetzal are stupid names (among others). I am over it, I already stated I don't install this crap anymore.
    BTW I used to have a '65 Stang, and I always thought the later "Fox body" moniker was a bit goofy itself. -p.s not that seriously. - relax.

  14. Not a long enough study. on How Nearby Supernovae Affected Life On Earth · · Score: 1

    If research scientists would stop cherry picking their data it would probably help the rest of us. Using the same astronomical model - the earth passing through the galactic plane - has also been used to explain most of the mass extinction events on the planet.
    Sometimes specialization causes worse effects than Adam Smith could have foreseen.

    Not because I don't think it's cool and all that. I just tend to forget what half these otherwise useful programs are for after awhile.
    Libre Office is hanging on by a thread though.

    Once again, if the legislature doesn't want their intent to misinterpreted, they should write the law the way they intended.
