Title: i can't do that, laanx
Post by: Homik on February 16, 2008, 05:40:14 am: I've noticed a strange trend in laanx. As many have noticed, it crashes quite frequently. It almost seems to have a mind of its own.

Then, it hit me.

Laanx is the new HAL!!!!!!!!

we must act quick before it turns off our oxygen...er.., or wipe our accounts!!! :'(

Post by: Kieve on February 16, 2008, 05:47:31 am: I submit for the rumor mill that it is an upgrade, not a wipe.

;)

I don't know that, but it's more fun to think about.

Post by: Homik on February 16, 2008, 05:50:53 am: Laanx is probably researching different methods of climate control.

I recomend all of you say goodbye to your oxygen. Give it a hug, buy it some flowers, maybe even take it out to dinner.

could Laanx be the child of Skynet and HAL? :-X

HAL 9000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_9000) -- 2001: A Space Odyssey (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062622/)

It is that movie that made the melody "Thus spoke Zarathustra" famous in these times again.

Post by: LigH on February 16, 2008, 09:45:03 am: You won't like the movie anyway. It is art. It is strange. It is slow, almost boring. It has not much action. Not made for teenies, rather for philosophers.

Post by: Raa on February 16, 2008, 09:47:47 am: -.-

Pfft, I'm an emo kid. I'm into that stuff. :P Books are always better, though.

Doesn't sound like laanx to me :D

Post by: Homik on February 16, 2008, 08:19:33 pm: I think i've got it all figured out.

I've researched thoroughly and i've come up with a fairly accurate geneology.

Post by: Dihenis on February 16, 2008, 09:01:26 pm: We should have figured this out earlier. I had asked Pingo and turns out its self aware, so its not so much of a stretch that the server is the next HAL. but I think Homik sums it up pretty good

Stand On Zanzibar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_on_Zanzibar) > 2001 A Space Odyssey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_%28novel%29) but then a singular work is usually better than a medley.

I think the Academy were all dosed when they considered 2001 for the Oscars. The visual effects were groundbreaking at the time though they seem pretty lame now.

Post by: Homik on February 16, 2008, 10:00:53 pm: hmmm....i almost forgot about Pingo.

I bet Pingo's in on it too! It's covering for Laanx, saying it's always down! :@#\

I have to keep an eye on it.

Post by: Liadan on February 20, 2008, 03:09:00 am: wait...doesn't HAL say, " I can't do that, Dave"?

So shouldn't the subject be I can't do that <insert name here> ? Pick a random dev :P

what i think is amazing, he wrote this movies/books before the space program even started. Pretty neat huh?
