They're trying to get in touch with us with radio waves, because they don't have the technology to find us and fly to our planet and meet us.
Wait a minute, did we forget to send our own radio signals into outer space, with our message so the aliens could find us?
I'm sorry but the whole idea is too preposterous to me.
Step back and have a little perspective.
If the timeline of the planet earth was 1 mile long, human life on the planet would span less than a sixteenth of an inch, and the time that humans have had radio would be less than the width of a human hair.
Now expecting some other planets timeline to coincide with ours, assuming [ass u me] they use radio, in their atmopheres, assuming they are more evolved than bacteria, or animals, assuming they care to contact us, asuming they even exist etc, the odds are so infinitesimally small, as to be very nearly proposterous.
It's about the weakest excuse against using cellphones in flight I've ever heard.
Not really pedantic.
The editor of a publication with the huge number of readers, should know the difference between "adverse" and "averse."
It's really rather an embarrassing reflection of his intelligence, and/or education.

Just get a Pelican brand case.
I got tired of replacing $1000-$1500 laptops, and found that a good hardshell case is cheap insurance.
Not only that they're waterproof.
You can also stick the whole bit in a messenger bag or backpack.
Biodiesel is a great solution for finding something to do with used cooking oil,
Vegetable oil by itself, is not a viable source of energy.
Why?
In modern farming you need fuel driven machinery to till, and harvest crops, it's not a fuel effective prospect.
In other words, you'll burn more petroleum fuel, getting vegetable oil from farm to market.
Here's what I think;
Her Daddy got her some special priviledges to go and ride around Chernobyl, but once it got out that it happened, that rules were being bent, and people in charge of the area, possibly getting in trouble for allowing it, the story had to be changed to protect those involved.
Just a conjecture.
"Why should colas inherently have caffeine and orange pop shouldn't?"
It's very simple.
The cola nut, which is used in "cola" soft drinks, contains caffeine.
"I swear back in the 50's people thought we'd have flying cars by now!"
It'll never happen with the way speeding tickets are given out, and states that can't stand to let you travel from point "a" to point "b" with any amount of speed.
The closest thing we have to high speed transportation are sport bikes.
Even air travel is slow, with 2& 3 hour in advance recommended check-ins, layovers, security checks, delays.
Imagine the types of traffic citations with flying cars.
There's no money in saving the poor.
That's why malaria is still a problem.
It's much more profitable to create drugs which cure baldness, erectile dysfunction, pills that slim you down so you can continue to gorge youself in an orgy of gluttony.
The vast resources of science are being directed towards improving the lives of the rich.
Save you? No. Enslave you? Yes! Profits!!

The next step will be ISP's drafting a code of conduct for the music industry.
We're all going to die anyhow, so wht's the point of worrying about it?
...is because they need to buy a license from the government to watch broadcast TV, or own a TV.
Too much food makes you fat.
Japan has done it with cans of saki, since at least 1998.
Not recommended for use in airports, or during public debate forums.

Steve Ballmer, citing the high price of gas, noted that the problem is the high cost of new cars.
Software Piracy Due to Expensive Hardware, Says Ballmer
Hahahhahehehehehahahahahaha!
That Ballmer's a real cut up!
My laptop has no serial port, would I be able to run the USB to serial converter that I now use in Windows?

The biggest problem for me is that i can't use Hotmail in Mozilla Thunderbird.
I wouldn't call that a phone "booth."
But I guess you can't call it a "payphone" if it's free.
Actually it falls under the ancient time honored jurisprudence of the ancient Romans;
Finderim, Keeperim,
Loserus, weeperus.
[Translated from the original Latin] meaning;
Finders keepers;
Losers weepers.
What kind of geeks are you?
Don't you know that there's programs for your PDA, which making tracking and processing fuel mileage information a breeze?
