Q: Sci-fi short story about not getting into cars with strangers

Rand al'ThorI read this story in English in the 2000s (although it was probably much older), in a collection or anthology of several short stories by different authors; I think the collections may have been called something along the lines of "Tales of Mystery and Horror". It also included Roald Dahl's "The ...

Q: Movie where a group of kids competing in what looks like "robot wars" meet aliens who watch black&white looney tunes?

user179283So I asked a similar question to this awhile ago and was told I was thinking of "Arena". I watched Arena yesterday and it brought me much joy but sadly it was not Arena that I was trying to remember. Some points to mention though: arena has a similar synth instrumentation especially in the openi...

Q: Cyber punk film (80-90's) where a girl escapes under a fence by removing a disc from her spine

Alberto Diego SeemayerWhen she tries to escape, someone is helping her, but finally if I remember correctly she is caught. I think she was in some kind of prison city or she was a slave to the system, and that spinal disc is what keeps her tied to this place.

 
Greetings, Earthlings.

I can actually read that.
 
hah! I say bleep bloop in response so often, I was getting bored of it
 
@AncientSwordRage But you still said it anyway? *scratches head*
@Donald.McLean Ahoy!
@Donald.McLean Can you read it directly as a bit stream, or did you need to break it into octets? (I had to do the latter; I couldn't keep my place otherwise.)
 
3:00 PM
@DavidW bored of not putting it into binary
 
@DavidW I had to break it into octets. I'm not any kind of AI.
I did just finish a book where one of the two main characters is an AI. It was a fun read, if you like YA. goodreads.com/book/show/41556068-catfishing-on-catnet
 
@Donald.McLean I dunno, maybe you've spent so many years staring at bitstreams coming from equipment you're debugging that you can read the bits. Like the operators back in the early years of computers who could tell what job was running from the lights on the front panel...
 
No, my brain isn't wired like that, which is why I couldn't copy Morse code faster than 16 WPM or type faster than 35 WPM, but I can retrain myself to type on an alternate keyboard.
 
3:17 PM
@Donald.McLean sounds very interesting
@Donald.McLean what keyboard?
 
I can't remember what it's called but it was invented by a famous efficiency expert.
And I'm too lazy to google it.
 
Dvorak? Colmac?
 
Dvorak
 
I tried that one once on my phone. and I got on with it for a while
 
Back in the day, if you were careful and understood what you were doing, you could byte edit the system files on the Mac to change the keyboard layout.
 
3:25 PM
uh huh
 
I did it more because I could than because it was a good idea.
 
I've never used a mac, but I think that's more easy to do these days on linux and windows as well
 
The system was a lot smaller - you could boot from a 1.4MB floppy.
 
oh cool, I definitely remember having to install things on floppies as a kid
never paid attention as to how big they were

Shortly after I got it, I sprung for a high speed 20MB hard drive. After I loaded everything I had on it, it still had more than 15MB of free space. I wondered how I was going to fill up ALL THAT SPACE.

When Luke discovers that Vader is his father in ESB, and then tells Leia, it is implied that Leia was raised by their mother who Luke never knew. Obviously, this is not how the ...

Q: What kind of virus is Thrax from Osmosis Jones?

mammifereviolet4694I have three theories (or hypotheses if you want). Thrax is the rabies virus (because he attacks the brain) (also, he hates being compared to the ebolavirus, and ebolaviruses and rabies virus both belong to the Mononegavirales order); Thrax is a cytomegalovirus that has become lethal (because cy...

Q: To what extent are Wolverine's claws indestructible?
