	Alien article - Alien 1979 Alien citizens country extraterrestrial concept adjective - What-Means.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In biology the adjective alien, as in alien species, means that the normal locale is somewhere else, that a species or specimen exceptionally has been established in the area in question.
		Alien species can sometimes wreak havoc on their new ecosystem, since in many cases, the local predators do not hunt them and so they will have no natural enemy.
		In popular fiction and conspiracy theories, alien is a term that is often used to refer to life forms, especially intelligent life forms, that are of extraterrestrial origin, i.e.

		"Alien" was only Scott's second feature and it remains his best, even compared to "Blade Runner" (which is a more important film, in the sense that it affected not only the future of movies but the future of urban design).
		In one sense, seeing "Alien" now is bittersweet: I remember how energized I felt by the emergence of a director with such limitless talent and potential, and by what seemed to be his devotion to creating an all-enveloping sensual, emotional and intellectual experience.
		The Alien itself may be unknowable and unfamiliar, a force of interplanetary nature, but it only got on the ship because of human ignorance, laziness and greed.

		Scientists behind the world's largest distributed computing project are about to take a closer look at some of the most promising of the billions of radio signals they've collected in their search for intelligent life in outer space.
		SETI@Home is a volunteer program that uses the spare computing cycles of ordinary home computers to look for signs of alien life in outer space.
		The litmus test to determine whether a signal might indicate an alien civilization is transmission from the same part of the sky, at the same frequency, on two or more observations.

		As the bandwidth increases, the available computation per byte decreases to the point that only per-packet processing such as routing can be performed.
		Beyond that, a point arises at which only a small fraction of packets can be processed, indicating the need for separate fast and slow paths through the active element with a need to ensure that most packets travel through the fast path.

	Paperless Publishing-Colin Haynes - Chapter 1-Section2
		Computing is changing to become a mass medium, and moving information from print to virtual electronic forms becomes not so much revolutionary, as evolutionary.
		For example, AT&T's EO hand-held computer is a very high-tech device, but still reflects its paper ancestors by presenting itself as a notebook, with table of contents and tabs like file dividers.
		Similarly, despite all the hype, complex multimedia works are unlikely to dominate electronic publishing because of the computing and personal resources they require, their cost to produce, the large size of the computer files required, and the hardware needed to play these complex files satisfactorily.

	Top SETI astronomer says we'll detect alien civilizations within 20 years thanks to advances in computing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The only reason we haven't yet detected communication signals from alien civilizations is because we don't have the computing power required to scan the universe for weak radio transmission signals that would indicate intelligent life.
		If intelligent life exists elsewhere in our galaxy, advances in computer processing power and radio telescope technology will ensure we detect their transmissions within two decades.
		For this he used a formula created in 1961 by astronomer Frank Drake which factors in aspects such the number of stars with planets, how many of those planets might be expected to have life, and so on.

		With respect to the first requirement, when an alien's status is adjusted to lawfully admitted for temporary residence or when the alien is granted work authorization under Section 245A or Section 210 of the INA, the alien becomes legally available for work.
		Such an alien is eligible for unemployment benefits if the alien is also unemployed, able and available for work, and otherwise satisfies the State's eligibility requirements for receiving benefits.
		The second category under Section 3304(a)(14) specifies that services performed while an alien was "lawfully present for purposes of performing such services" may be used for computing monetary eligibility if the State law includes the second category and the State construes the State law provision as including such aliens.

		These reactions are often seen as a testament to the authenticity of the memory - some have gone so far as to use physical reactions to memories to prove their validity, even when the memory is as far-fetched as ritual abuse by satanic cults.
		The researchers found that those who claimed to have been abducted had similarly strong reactions to the stressful narrative and the alien abduction, and weaker reactions to the happy and neutral narratives.
		When people believe they've been abducted by aliens, recalling their abduction can evoke reactions not unlike those evoked by a genuine memory that is stressful.

	Did Our Sun Capture Alien Worlds? Close Encounter May Explain Some Objects Beyond Neptune
		Computer simulations of a close encounter by two stars — a stellar flyby — demonstrated there is a chance a planet could be captured from another solar system.
		Between 30 and 50 astronomical units from the sun — that is, 2.8 billion to 4.7 billion miles from the sun — several Kuiper belt objects larger than 600 miles in diameter are known to orbit the sun.
		The computer simulations showed that a close encounter with another solar system could explain why rocky, icy Kuiper belt objects vanish abruptly at 50 astronomical units.

		Roger Penrose argues that the human mind is not computable because, given a formalization of one's mind and the Godel sentence for one's mind, a human mind allegedly could recognize the sentence as true whereas the formalized computation could not.
		Indeed, all of the conclusions of logic are binding on all possible minds, as logic is in fact the study of valid inference.
		o Certain computational problems (such as sorting a list of N elements) could not be solved by any physically possible mind in less than an amount of time that is a function (such as log N) of the size of the problem.
