Seti@home picked up a radio signal

Heard an interview with the head of SETI (not SETI@Home) and he said the story was being blown out of proportion by the initial reporter. He contacted the SETI@Home folks at Berkeley and apparently it was a misunderstanding on the part of the reporter. It's just the current best candidate out of the current batch, apparently.

What if they decide to come here, and when they land and come out of their ships, they all look like Sean Connery and won't stop saying...

You're the man now DOG!

I mean has anyone planned for this yet???!?!!

:Q:Q

SETI is the biggest waste of time ever and for many reasons.

The only hope for true discovery and communication between us and "them" would be to build something FTL which isn't likely to happen (at least for a long time).

Radio transmissions are good to what, 100 light years away or so?

That is -not- a big enough area and that is -NOT- a very fast mode of communication.

Build me an Alcubierre drive and I'll consider it possible to find aliens. But SETI? SETI is a joke and waste of CPU cycles.

We can only hope for an encounter. I would be motivated to finally finish my novel if a Sean Connery alien could inspire me by shouting "You're the Man Now Dog!" over and over.
 
SETI is still a huge waste of resource.. sorry nerds! 🙂

New Scientist said the signal could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon or even be a by-product from the telescope itself.
