XML and aliens

[...] If SETI@home works, for example, we'll need libraries for communicating with aliens. Unless of course they are sufficiently advanced that they already communicate in XML. [...] - Paul Graham

Man, this line is so good, I had to reproduce it here and post yet again a link to Paul Graham's essays so that other know-it-all programmers can read them and realize they know next-to-nothing.

Humble me.
