Shillzz Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 If I was a betting person which I am, there is life in Europa. Reasons I think this are :- Its got a right wicked name. Gets stretched a lot so the ice in the core melts and re-forms under extreme pressures. Life starts in places like this, look at earth. Nah, I don't think teams can be bothered with it until they reach the quarter finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The fact that I came into this thread too late and missed PussEKat's fantastic posts on aliens. But I did enjoy the gifs. The one thing I would say is that if aliens were intelligent and advanced enough to even get to Earth from their home planet then they are no doubt more intelligent and advanced than ourselves so we would probably pose little threat to them. That and it's not like the entire world is engulfed by war or cinema shootings 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Hawking agrees with you. And then some: Stephen Hawking warns over making contact with aliens Aliens almost certainly exist but humans should avoid making contact, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned. In a series for the Discovery Channel the renowned astrophysicist said it was "perfectly rational" to assume intelligent life exists elsewhere. But he warned that aliens might simply raid Earth for resources, then move on. "If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," he said. Prof Hawking thinks that, rather than actively trying to communicate with extra-terrestrials, humans should do everything possible to avoid contact. He explained: "We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet." In the past, probes have been sent into space with engravings of human beings on board and diagrams showing the location of our planet. Radio beams have been fired into space in the hope of reaching alien civilisations. Prof Hawking said: "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. "The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like." The programme envisages numerous alien species including two-legged herbivores and yellow, lizard-like predators. But Prof Hawking conceded most life elsewhere in the universe is likely to consist of simple microbes. In the recent BBC series Wonders of the Solar System, Professor Brian Cox, a physicist from the University of Manchester, also suggested life may exist elsewhere within our solar system. He said organisms could be present under the ice sheet that envelops Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. Professor Cox added: "Closer to home, the evidence that life could exist on Mars is growing. "We will only know for sure when the next generation of spacecraft, fine-tuned to search for life, are launched to the moons of Jupiter and the arid plains of Mars in the coming decades."

Davkaus Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Lotus Notes. **** Lotus Notes. I feel your pain. I've been putting up with that shit as a user and support for years now. My company is in the middle of migrating to Outlook. I've never been so happy rolling out a Microsoft product. It's like IBM wanted to share their pain with the world. Still, you think it's terrible now, it could be worse, you could have to navigate the impenetrable maze that is Lotus Domino. It makes me want to punch myself in the balls.

Ginko Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thunder bugs. All this week the little bastards have been landing on me and annoying the hell out of me, so I began squishing the worst offenders. Well it seems like they sent in a lone agent with an ingenious plan. Christ knows how the hell he managed to do it, but he has somehow got in under the screen of my laptop and is currently crawling around incessantly and I can't do a damn thing about it save from dismantle my laptop, which I don't fancy doing. It's a suicide mission sure, but I have no doubt his orders are to die smack bang in the middle of the screen. Sneaky bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
