Thanx. I saw the story on Drudge but I couldn't get the link to work.

Mysterious signals from 1000 light years away

Ironically, if aliens are coming here... I think we should be building up our arsenal.
Who says aliens have to be peaceful? Hmmm... same people running around supporting terrorists. I question their judgment.
LOL, now wouldn't that be a kick?
Pulsar. Better scientists than these have been fooled by them before.
Different headline content -- but "signals" was in my search with no result.
In their world, the sky is not blue.
If there are aliens, I am guessing they are not at all peaceful. But they would figure our culture out, come dressed as ET, and then rip our hearts when we let our guard down. Talk about illegal aliens.
This sounds really silly,
>>>.AMATEUR radio hams are usually excited by the faint buzz of a distant shortwave station, but a group of scientists believe they have received a message from extra-terrestrials. <<<<
But in light of current events in NJ...I'm wondering if their is some grants or such being sought. Especially since I see the scotsman as the main carrier of this article.
>>>Scientists at Rutgers University in New Jersey claim that beaming a radio signal that can be detected 10,000 light years away would demand a million billion times as much energy as just shooting out matter on which the data is inscribed. <<<<<
You are probably already aware of this?
I'm hoping it's not for real, myself.

The site was slashdotted (piled on by the innumerable readers of the techie blog slashdot.org). This happens whenever a site is mentioned on that blog.
This is rather important information, even if it does prove to be false.

Yep. I could only find it by browsing my pings, since
I had responded to it.
This site would have dramatically fewer duplicates if it
had local full-text search, accessible from the browse
page search dialog.
You can do full-text using external search engines,
and restricting them to this domain, but they don't
index often enough to be valuable to basenote posters.
And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
The bable prohibits this.
I never understood why in the world they think someone would use 1420mhz.
It's like you and I agreeing to get into a giant tub full of pumpkins, and by the way, I'll signal you using this cool orange light I got.
You want to use a frequency that has few natural generators, and one that can travel long distances without getting absorbed.
