If there is life out there, we are more likely to communicate than be invaded.

I reckon, and I'm not an expert by any means just like the rest of you, that if there is alien life that can understand our transmission, then we may get a transmission back.

It's unlikely that there is an alien race capable of sending a fleet to us to enslave us, if this was the case then it probably would have already happened by now.

When you consider the world is 14 billion years old and that it's only in the past 50 years our planet has been capable of satellite communication, that gives a tiny timeframe for a message to be understood.

1 in 280,000,000 are the odds that a message sent to earth would have been understood, and that's if the message was sent for a whole year.

Think about that, 1 in 280mil are the odds. Would you spend your life looking for SETI?

A planet needs to have stability, but not too much stability for weather, atmosphere, heat, light, water, gravity, etc etc.

That life is here is proof it can happen, but so far we have never seen life anywhere else.

There is no radio wave leakage from far away TV shows, which is a shame considering the crap on telly on Earth ;-)

Human Arrogance

Ok so we converted the information into binary and sent it into space. You are making a huge assumption that they will see anything in this digital data. It may also be transmitted incredibly fast or slow for them to receive. These transmissions and every our search for ET radio signals assume that the life form at either end is capable of understanding not just radio itself, but our implementation of radio. Or even the concept of digital information for that matter. Our way is not necessarily the right or best way out there and even if it is there are still other ways.

More likely...

...they'll go
- Look at that! We could enslave those, don't you think Zeg?

- Sure thing, Zag. Send the fleet.

stupid is as stupid does

this is about as smart as sending our dna blueprint in the voyager years ago.

Not to say i believe in little green men, but this is foolish, we shouldnt be broadcasting our existance to the unknown until we know more about whats out there.

Human stupidity...

...knows no boundaries :D
How can anybody think that it is intelligent to give personal data to a complete stranger ?
We might just have told an intelligent species, that we are dumb enough to tell where we are and that we are really yummy for their burgers :D

Not One Photo is true.

Well Patty was Redhead & Lynn is Blonde, What Good Product. Yet Social Groups on Internet are little Different, they are Crummy Fronts that'll take you for ALL Your Worth, while your away, looking for some dumb image.

Mentioned Barton Core, maybe todays media emergence is Purple Haze, with kind of wobblie, Freeze. Camel Spit be long lines high speed packet throwing, all way into cores larger packet.

So Whos Next In Line, I thought & I thought: Heavy Metal. High K gates. Then Disco, when everything is Fun & Smooth, with recycled past bumping Map. Now raptor might be time Disco gets up to Where Are we. Yet it does seem about end to great internal developement, Oh,Sure another 15 years of Migration to best in best spots. like Social Networker would want.

By Social ,You do Mean Core, right? Party of Core Designs today we await i7.

However, Perpetrators of internet Social Networking are Criminal, Not social.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
