    Re: SETI public: Universal Translator Might be Needed to Understand ETIt's so I can listen to aliens talk in stereo.

    Seriously, I wonder if the first communication between us and an ETI will be via

      But are they those clever new digital ones?! Really, it's amazing what babelfish are capable of these days...
