The sun is 93 million miles away. Puts out so much energy, you can feel the heat from it.
How much power does your ham radio transmitter output?

Yes, I have; S. Doradus is an example.

Is there some point you think you're making?

I don't have a ham transmitter; I've never been interested
enough in amateur radio to get a license.

That said, I believe such transmitters are limited to around
1kW (SSB allowance might be different; it is [was?] for CB).

Do you imagine you've made some sort of point? Maybe you
think that the difference in energy makes radio waves "stop"
at some point? Hint: They don't; photons don't just
disappear unless they're absorbed by something. Like
diamonds, or like arguing with morons, free photons are
essentially forever.

You *did* know that radio waves are EM radiation just like
visible light, and, like visible light, are also composed of
photons, right?

See, there was a context at the time, something going on in the newsgroup at the time, that Bob was involved with, a discussion at the time going on in the group.

It's pretty clear that the point slow stanley is trying to make is that there is so much noise generated by other sources that detection of intelligent signals isn't possible. As Oxyaena points out, stanley's scientific literacy is woefully inadequate. Hell, he thinks equipment that is used to tap a phone will jam a radio. Things like narrow band filtering, heterodyning, and applications of coherence in data analysis and fourier transforms are all things people making comments on SETI need to have at least a basic understanding in. Hint for slow stanley - a 60 watt bulb at the other side of the galaxy isn't an appropriate analogy, A 60 watt bulb is an appropriate analogy for your intellectual power.

Maybe Sparky thinks he's made some sort of point. He hasn't,

When the subject is changed, and nothing from the original
is included in the new subject post, there is no context, so
that excuse of yours can be discarded.

Sparky doesn't yet comprehend the meaning of "context" in
Usenet, even though it's been carefully explained to him.

YEs, actually it is. your comment above "maybe Bob thinks for the purposes of detection of signals for intelligent life, he can detect a sixty watt light bulb all the way on the other side of the universe " along with the 'super amounts of energy from the sun' means exactly, you think the radiated output of the sun masks the energy of the bulb. This is a poor analogy. It's entirely possible to extract coherent data from a signal that's been masked by noise. I worked on a project long ago where data was modulated into the phase noise of a phase locked loop carrier. IT was experimental, but there were repeatable results, the point was to establish alternative communication methods it environments where there were high interference components. SETI is looking for coherence, not simply a random non-intelligent signal like a light bulb. You should really stop trying to talk about science or technology.

Nope.
Photons produced (as in numbers) is determined by how much energy is involved.

There is only one person with his sockpuppets after explaining quite clearly could still get it wrong like this and be wrong in all of his thinking.

That isn't relevant to SETI

Tell you what, post a link where SETI states they are interested in detecting photons, not EM wave energy. Or a link that says they aren't looking for a coherent signal, but a particle.

By that reasoning, the context could be what was going on in the
world. In fact, and unless otherwise specified, the default context
is the subject of the thread in which the comment is embedded.

>do you even realize that determines how many photons are produced?

Sparky, I'm a retired EE; I worked on radar systems, which
definitely involve signal strength and detection range, for
almost 30 years. So I *could*, given enough time and
incentive, calculate the possible detection ranges of
various signal levels, based on the propagation
characteristics of the signal (omni or beamed [with antenna
gain]) and the original signal power, and using what we know
of the detection of signals in a noisy environment. But it
ain't trivial, especially since I've been retired for 11
years and would have to do a fair amount of review, and
you're not worth the effort.

I wrote "subject", not "topic"; try to keep up. You are the
OP (that's "original poster", for the terminally
bewildered). The subject is "Hey Bob casanova" (note the
lack of proper caps again). Are you claiming that there was
anything posted in this subject prior to your initial post

And you still don't; from your comment above you think

if you were involved in the discussion at the time, then it is context at that time for the group.

No, I confined it to discussions you yourself were having.
What is so difficult about this for you?
Look, no matter where you were having a discussion, whether on the phone, email, in person or on the internet, around the time you had that discussion you should be able to recall or remember it. That should still be in your brain. And you should then be able to figure out how something could apply to that next discussion, no matter how it where it occurs, like the next post in here or thread around that time. This is not kiddies summer camp where everything needs to be thoroughly explained in detail for you, you should have intellectually matured by now to get the hang of this

So, to reiterate my question above, what is your reply to my
response to jonathan's post, since by your definition it's
"context" for this thread, since it was indeed a "discussion
I was involved in at the time"?

But I'll let you off your petard. Just as "extinction",
despite your apparent inability to understand the concept,
doesn't apply to individuals, but only to species, "context"
applies to particular threads/subjects, not to the group as
a whole.

See above, the note about "context" and its applicability to
discussions. Ask someone to explain the big hard words.

>What is so difficult about this for you?

Trying to beat information into the head of a recalcitrant
ignoramus is difficult for *anyone*.

I checked, you mentioned things from 13 + billion years ago and cb signals.
My bad.
So the running total is:

you 300+ errors.
Me 1.

No, I didn't. It's not *my* memory which is faulty here.

Now to restore the part you ran away from:

Sorry I wrote that you didn't answer the above in my earlier
post today in this subject; I didn't realize you've acquired
the annoying habit of splitting your replies without notice.

That said, it seems you haven't yet answered the question; I
guess I'll have to repeat it *again*:

So, to reiterate my question above, what is your reply to my
response to jonathan's post, since by your definition it's
"context" for this thread, since it was indeed a "discussion
I was involved in at the time"?

*Surely* you can answer that with no further information,
since it's "in context" for everything I post here by your
definition...

I use no other nyms; that's the voices in your head.

As for my "far more than 300 mistakes" (which is ludicrous
even for *you*, given that there haven't been even close to
300 posts, more like 30 total, made by everyone in this
discussion since your initial one which opened the subject)
it should be fairly easy, given the number you claim I've
made, to post, say, 30 of them; that's less than 10%.

Do it here:

Look up "unrelated"; the definition might be a revelation

Not especially; I don't make up imaginary playmates who tell
