Unfortunately, an alphabet is purely our method of representing the audible sounds that come out of our mouth. Even using numbers is arbitary. The only common thing would be to represent numbers as a series of dots (e.g. 1 dot for 1, 2 dots for 2 etc...) and then display the first, say, 100 prime numbers. That would certainly get any technologically advanced race interested. We would need to then go on to try and use these numbers to convey a message like here's how to get in touch.
It's not about them understanding English or whatever language we package up. It's about any alien looking at the data and realising that there is actually information here, rather than just random streams of data (not necessarily about understanding the content). Once they realise there is information then they can get to work on trying to decipher it. The protocol is a kind of flag waving saying something like "interesting stuff over here guys".
My main gripe with 3D is that, unlike any other special effect, the user needs to do something in order to experience it. With other special effects, the best ones at least, the viewer isn't even aware it is a special effect. If you had to put on special glasses to see a building blow up, say, then that special effect wouldn't be a success with the public either.
I'm sorry but you obviously have know knowledge of how.net works. It is syntax agnostic, you can write exactly the same functionality in both syntaxes and both syntaxes access all the same functionality. It doesn't matter what syntax you write in, they both do the same thing and you can program equally badly(or well) in both.
The majority of the "youtube atheist movement" (which is not any kind of official group) is made up of people who did used to sing and pray, so know exactly what it feels like.
HDR doesn't need special screens. All the work is done at the recording end. You can watch HDR on your computer screen right now. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlcLW2nrHaM)
"... Stuxnet could well have been far more effective and difficult to detect had the attackers not made a few elementary mistakes.... "
If someone can detect your system by making a few elementary mistakes, your system is not secure. End of story. Sounds like they are trying to rationalize it to me.
The conclusions in the article don't appear to relate, in any way, to the graph they are showing.
The graph shows song sales versus app sales. The article talks about app sales versus something they call "physical video game content sales". WFT is that when it's at home?!
... like all polls, it's only a snapshot. What would be more useful would be to see a running poll over the years and see where the changes lie. Obama is in there because he is the current president. The fact Carter is still in there is quite telling.
Also, you have to ask yourselves how do people answer these. Were they asked in a quick phonecall? Were they asked to think about it and reply? I think the answers may be a little different in both these cases.

Especially when his son is set to inherit the power.
If a son "inherits" a father's presidency of a country, at what point does that become a monarchy?

Does he have shares in a games company? Having warning labels will only increase sales.

I was talking about Heavyweight Champ.
From the article on wikipedia:
... Critics have since identified it as the first game to feature hand to hand fighting ... "

It mentions nothing about side view.
How would a "man in the middle" exploit be done with a barcode?
Except flash, perhaps.
