Beeping wind...that's different.

Our atmospheric density and air currents are what are responsible for the way our wind vibrates. In space, the wind would be much less dense, scattering through the vacum all the time. When it hits the microphone it will do it intermittently, not in a steady stream like here on Earth.

You think I didn't know that?

Like the ad for the movie Alien said: "In space, no one can hear you scream..."

Damn, I'm on a linux box at school with no sound. Now I have to wait until my friend comes by with his laptop and wireless card.

I'm surprised that probe would die anytime soon. Pioneer 10 kept going for years and years and years and they kept finding new ways to communicate with it.

Or on the other side of the galaxy being turned into superpowerful childlike AI.

Damn though, that would be cool if the Voyager programming did have some sort of... error that caused it to actually gather enough information and act on it and come back home and share...

Star Trek writers are weird. They have no concept that those things wouldn't go anywhere. The first warp ship they built would have passed all our probes in a matter of days, max. So the Klingons must have been hanging out close by when they shot up Pioneer 10 in Star Trek V and there must be a black hole really close by too.

The first warp ship didn't even make it as far as Mars. Didn't you ever watch First Contact? And I think you mean a wormhole, not a black hole. Wormholes allow ships to travel instantaneously from one end to the other. Black holes will just crush them with their infinate mass.
