Riker and Troi learn a life lesson and the exit the holodeck.

That episode taught me how to triple my productivity when typing YES by just typing Y.

She was also part of the team that discovered and coined the term “bug” in relation to a computer defect. She didn’t invent the term herself directly, but she was part of the team that did.

Sense of smell.

One other thing you may have to do if you have contributors who have also committed code is to get their permission to change the license as well, as the code they committed may still be under their copyright and not yours, and they can choose to allow their code to be relicensed or not. Some projects use a contributor release to reassign copyright for contributions for reasons like this, for instance. This is partly the reason why the Linux kernel has never changed to GPLv3 and still uses GPLv2 (and also because Linus just doesn’t like some provisions of the GPLv3) — it would be pretty much impossible to get everyone who contributed code to a project as large as the kernel to agree to a license change. Any code that couldn’t be changed would need to be extracted and rewritten, and that’s not going to happen given the sheer size of the code base.

If you don’t have other contributors then you’re home free. You can’t retroactively change licenses to existing copies of the code that have been distributed, but you can change it going forward.

I like to keep mine razor sharp. Sharp enough you can shave with it. Why I’ve been known to circumcise a gnat.

Literally marketing nonsense. The Genesis on paper was less powerful than the SNES in pretty much every aspect except for the CPU clock speed, where the SNES had a 2.68 MHz processor versus the Genesis’ 7.67 MHz, so the Genesis had a superior clock speed but clock speed wasn’t something you could directly compare as they were entirely different processors. Marketing took this speed difference as an advantage though and rolled with it.

macOS has something to this effect where if it detects too many kernel panics in a row on boot it will disable all kernel extensions on the next reboot and it pops up a message explaining this. I’ve had this happen to me when my GPU was slowly dying. It eventually did bite the dust on me, but it did let me get into the system a few times to get what I needed before it was kaput.

From the toaster for enhanced crunch.

The Vulcan credo was IDIC — Infinite Diversity In Infinite Combinations.

Let’s not forget:

• The Kiss
• white/black Riddler duking it out with black/white guy in an allegory to race relations
• Abraham Lincoln calling Uhura a “a charming negress” followed by a brief discussion about the future’s take on linguistics and equality
• the pilot episode had a woman named Number One who was so named because she was number one at everything she did. She excelled at all the things on the ship. A woman being better than men? Impossible. That’s woke.
• the Enterprise and a bunch of klingons once showed up to a planet so woke they ended war and used space magic to make the humans and klingons also do no wars in their vicinity.
• in another episode the Enterprise went to a planet that still had war but they calculated the results of battles using a video game console and then sent casualties to their death in a disintegration chamber and the Kirk blew up the video game console to force them to either negotiate or go back to actual war as a lesson in ignoring the Prime Directive directly.
• there was a Nazi planet and the Nazis were the bad guys.
• there was also a Yankee planet where they somehow independently wrote the Declaration of Independence in broken pidgin English and used it to defeat the Space Soviets.
• the episode where Kirk and a woman exchange bodies was… not handled well and is not a good example.
• the klingons were soviets, btw.
• basically every episode of the original series had something “woke”, okay? It was literally the whole point of the series.

YOU FOOL

Much of TekSavvy’s infrastructure is last mile stuff and they resell service from Bell, Rogers and Cogeco, so in many places they still aren’t an option if you’re looking to avoid the major networks. They have put some of their own fibre in some places though and have their own wireless service in some places, but as far as I know their main business is still piggybacking off of the major providers.

The contacts inside are too big and sensitive and it results in phantom inputs. The DIY fix is to open up the controller and literally cover parts of the input contacts with tape.

Bought a new computer, threw the old one out.

I don’t know about all that, but I did catch his appearance on the American version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?…

Use etc-keeper, saves everything in a git repo and integrates with a bunch of package managers. Been using it for decades it feels like now.

Morpheus: “Free… your… mind “ as he jumps an impossible gap between two high rise buildings.

Neo: “aww hell naw.”

That movie was played completely straight, where there was no dummy comedic relief character. They were all scientists and it was very serious. They wanted to make their own 2001 A Space Odyssey but ended up making a high production Plan 9 From Outer Space. I remember when it came out that all of the interviews with the actors and De Palma were so serious and self-important and after the movie came out they just seemed delusional. The movie is comically bad in terms of … literally everything. Even Gary Sinese’s hair, man. Even the hair.

That movie was beyond stupid. I think I even saw it in the theatre. There’s like 3 billion base pairs in a strand of human DNA and Sliders over here uses his space skittles to form like a dozen base pairs and proclaims it’s his perfect woman’s DNA. That wouldn’t be enough for a bacterium’s ass let alone a human being, your perfect woman is severely broken dude.
