Thanks ek. I had heard most of that before. Actually I'd heard that the most efficient way to send an interplanetary signal would be to encode the message in such a way that to us it would sound like white noise. That is, if two alien civilizations were already talking, we couldn't very well intercept the signal and make sense of it. Which still leaves the possibility that some advanced civilization is looking for a new civilization to talk with. I'm guessing they wouldn't devote huge amounts of energy to that project, unless . . . . hmmm. Unless they are a dying civilization that wants to be remembered? Nah . . . . Anyway . . . There is just one thing I don't understand. Why has SETI been suspended?

Guess. The first letter is "m" and the last is "y". Of course there's still enough money for lottery winners to qualify for foodstamps, but that's a social assistance program, not a waste of taxpayer money like SETI and the shuttle program.

A colleague has shown this article to me, it appears that a few Enterprise gadgets are really needed:

Would someone qualify?

Sounds like a brilliant idea, although I have no idea whether it's technically feasible. Wouldn't the sensing part need to do the same sort of thing that currently takes several tons of CAT scanner? Then it would need some pretty clever analysis to work out what the scan results mean.

But the way technology is developing I suspect in a couple of decades time people will have one injected at birth with realtime links to their medical insurance providers.

Wait you're saying that everyone will actually have medical insurence! :shock:

Sorry couldn't help it. I'm so incredibly grateful for my benifits but it makes me mad that some of the people I love don't get them.

I guess I should really have said "... RICH people ...".

Another reason why we should go back to the moon:

The Moon may have as much water as Earth does

Tricorder? I don't need no stinkin' tricorder. I've got an iPhone. :roll:
