[extropy-chat] SETI: First radio signal from alien

[Kevin Freels]

Last I heard, there was some overlapping of signal segments. This way, if a
particular segment is distributed but doesn;t come back for some reason, it
still gets processed. This was my understanding three years ago. Not sure if
it is still the case.
