There has been an estimate of over 14,000 stars within 100 light years from earth. So how do we know they are devoid of life?

Is it that many? Damn it, I just read somewhere the other day that there were only a few that close. I gotta stop getting my scientific data from the Taliban Instutute of Technology.

Though, in a way, you could probably conjecture that there aren't any 2001-esque levels of huminoid intelligent life there, because we would have picked up their stuff too, eh?

Of that I have no idea :)
