^...wait, I thought it was obviously joking.

Major Tom: What if they don't use binary?

Or if they use nondeterministic computing (or determistic computing, if we move on to quantum...). Or maybe even analog! surprised

But yeah, Independence Day is bullshit of course, I'd like to see someone try to reverse-engineer an alien computer to the point where they could even write in assembly.

[up] That's just silly. The article said that the spaceships are coming from outside Pluto's orbit, not Mars. Then they'd be able to get here much quicker.

No, it was Death by Pragmatism. Point being if we think about it too much, the aliens win. We will beat them by being brave and noble, not smart. Someone go get that list of things no evil genius should do, and get ready, they will do one of them. It's fore-ordained.

I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.

You mean we're up against Genre Blind aliens who never read the Evil Overlord List?

This will make our job incredibly easy without having to resort to nukes, railguns or biological weaponry.

Wait wait who's to say they're evil aliens? If they helped Earth develop in the first place, we're like their kids in a twisted way. They might just be coming back to check on how we've done, maybe give us the secret to harvestig nuclear fusion for power.

Makes sense after all. "Hey kids, sorry for missing the Millenium, we got held up a decade. Anyway, here's a present!"

Precisely, Major Tom, precisely!

And I see now that Diamonnes is part of the alien masquerade.

Or are just really manly.

Pretty much the entire turian and krogan races say hi.

(the latter says hi by beating you into paste, the former says hi quite politely and then beats you into paste if you try any shit)

What if they weren't aliens but because of relativity, were future versions of ourselves that are at the end of the universe but wish to conquer earth now to have an empire that literally spans across the ages.

Well he's talking about WWII when the Chinese bomb pearl harbor and they commuted suicide by running their planes into the ship.

At some point in the future, a man will say, in these words, "Fuck the rules that govern the universe. WE ARE MANKIND LETS DO SHIT" And an intergalatic empire will be formed.

[up] Your use of the word "empire" implies we would be complacent enough to merely conquer the aliens.

I don't bow to the aliens, I just suggest we make a friendly, productive alliance with them. It would be good for mankind to have someone to help us make the leap into a spacefaring species.

^^ Xenocide means no Boldly Coming. This is a critical flaw in your entire long-term plan.

Xenophobia and ethnocentrism are all lots of fun, of course. It's just that sex is so much more fun.

@ Diamonnes and Pykrete:

1) Xenos love? That's EXTRA heresy!

2) Gross.

3) Bestiality is, I believe, illegal in most places, so there wouldn't be much xenos love going on anyway.
