Nedry was literally a computer scientist and systems designer / programmer from Cambridge. Arnold was a theme park engineer (designing rides and control systems; some programming involved but a whole different paradigm than developing large systems).

Source: Have read the novel 50+ times.

Arnold was an engineer, though. He was competent in using the system and not totally lost when poking around the code, but he’s no computer scientist. Basically, he was a power user / sysadmin rather than a developer.

Considering I can’t even identify the flavor by the label, I’m gonna say, no, probably not.

In the “DS9: Millennium” trilogy, that’s pretty much exactly what kicks off the plot lol.

Basically pretending to be an organic grass-roots movement or to plant the seeds but the movement is to either destabilize or otherwise benefit a foreign entity.

How do you do my fellow Americans? How about we just start burning stuff down?

Basically shit like that (it’s not always that transparent except when it is exactly that transparent). See it pretty often even on here (less so since I’ve enabled “turbo” on my block button).

I guess what I’m saying is we should get the hell rid of it all so eventually public opinion won’t be swayed by cheap foreign labor, bots, and people who just want to burn it all down.

I’ve blocked so many accounts on here that are clearly not Americans just straight up trying to incite shit in US news / politics communities. I don’t know what’s worse: the number of upvotes those get or how transparent they are.

Doctor in Front: Everyone stay behind me. I’m a doctor of art history. It’s finally my time to shine.

How many other animals did they put through a sieve to reach this conclusion? How many?!

Yeah, I don’t know about pre-installed with Android that aren’t ad platforms masquerading as consumer hardware. I’d never use one unless it was supported by LineageOS or something. My comment was more “roll your own” in nature.

I did not know I was missing Spock Goldblum from my life, but damn if I don’t want more.

Maybe one of those HDMI “stick” PCs you can get? There’s x86 Android builds you can run or you can do like I did with my media PCs and boot into Openbox and just launch a fullscreen browser right to Jellyfin and control it from your phone. (My main setup uses Emby but should be able to do the same with JF).

I’ve actually got a portable Jellyfin server I take with me. Built on the OrangePi Zero 2W with a USB->NVMe acting as media storage (as well as the Jellyfin DB). It’s got several other services running as well as a second Wifi adapter so it can also act as a travel router.

For playback, I pretty much just use my laptop or phone but have thought about adding one of the “stick” PCs as a client for it.

I always forget that’s J.G. Hertzler. It’s like…the less elaborate prosthetics he wears, the less I recognize him. See also: Laas in DS9.

(At least, until he speaks)

My 'shop skills are terrible, so just use your imagination:

Dennis (as Worf): I am not a merry man.

All of them. Let’s make Danny DeVito the next Jeffrey Combs.

Is that the plugin that blocks the increasingly unfunny clock memes in c/ProgrammerHumor?

The “Romulan Comfort Zone” sounds like a Romulan spa that’s also a Romulan black site.

It’s called a joke.
