Next up: Skyrim. “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.”

GeForce 256 on my first Windows computer when I went to college. Before that, I was using motherboard graphics on a series of Macs growing up.

“It’s not working.”

“…We’re both all reversing the polarity.”

“Yes, I know that.”

“There’s two four of us. I’m reversing it, you’re reversing it back again. We’re confusing the polarity!”

Reverse the punarity of the plasma coils.

Remarkable.

It’s super annoying, but even though they’re all airing at the same time, Picard, Lower Decks, and Prodigy all take place at slightly different times. At least they’re consistent with TNG stardates, where 41000 is 2364, and each 1000 stardates equals one Earth year, so you can get a year from a captain’s log entry. From Memory Alpha:

Lower Decks: 2380-2382

Prodigy: 2383–2385

Picard: 2399-2341 (Ignoring flashbacks)

I miss the TNG / DS9 / VOY era, when shows airing concurrently all take place at the same time.

Such an upgrade over the previous two. Three whole cities to explore, plus the countryside. They managed to stream the world data from the disc as you moved about, so no more loading screens between islands like III and VC had. This was the first GTA where you could swim, so water was no longer a death trap, and the first to introduce skills, so you could swim further and faster as you got better.

Glory to you and your Tollhouse.

The idea was one computer on the LAN would hold the “talking stick” (the token) and transmit whatever data it needed to, then pass the token off to the next computer in the ring. If a computer received the token and didn’t have anything to transmit, it’d just pass on the token. The problem would be detecting when one of the computers in the loop had gone offline or crashed and taken the token with it. After some amount of time with no traffic, some system was responsible for generating a new token and an amended turn order. Similar problems existed when a new computer wanted to get added to the rotation.

Interesting use of terms. In Discworld Dwarven society, being lowborn would be a good thing and while being high born is only one step below surface dweller. The dwarves are ruled by the Low King (or Queen). The lower you are, the deeper you are in the mine, and the more rich and important you must be.

Like he’s got any room to talk, after “Q Who.”

But what if you can live with it? I can live with it.

At a townhall in Pennsylvania Monday night, he stoped taking questions early and just played music and “danced” on stage for 40 minutes.

I’m guessing those names come from the very top.

I love how the middle frame of the “lunch” became the thumbnail for the post.

Setting up a crossover with Babylon 5.

Even in death, nobody makes more popular public restrooms than me, trust me folks.

It’s standard practice for the prosecution and the defense to let the judge know how long they’ll need to prepare for the case. The more evidence the prosecution has compiled, the more time the defense can reasonably request to go through it.

They’d guys are developers. Maybe have someone code review your malicious code before you push it to production.

Throws a Kelvinverse boxed set at Pippen.
