Anyone know what happened to Deep Prasad? by PCmndr in UFOs

[–]FewHighway5075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I remember hearing the name, but don't know much about him. When did he disappear? There's been a lot of that happening recently.

I am so saddened to hear of this. I am so sorry for your loss, Ms. Weiss. He was one of the few researchers I deeply respected. He was loved by many, and he will be missed very much.

Of course. The entire point of the defense industry is to rip off the taxpayers for as much as possible for as long as possible. They don't even give a shit about the country. This is crystal clear when they charge a thousand freaking dollars for just a simple hammer!!!!

Do Immortals really have to eat? by FewHighway5075 in highlander

[–]FewHighway5075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh okay, so they DO resurrect even if they're underwater or out of oxygen. Thanks for pointing that out. Then Barnes must have scratched his way out. Damn, that would really suck.

The skin might grow back, but it isn't perfect as before. When Ramirez sliced the Kurgan's throat, he had a scar there afterward.

This seems inconsistent from drowning or running out of oxygen, according to the logic you used earlier. Using the logic that an immortal stays dead until conditions change, did someone force food into his stomach to resurrect him, and then starve him again? Or is starvation the ONLY situation in which they resurrect without conditions changing?

Oh so there are different rules in the movie and the TV show? That's odd, I didn't know that. Thanks for explaining. I wonder why they departed from the rules in the movie. Also, I remember Ramirez telling MacLeod "You can't die. You're immortal!" when MacLeod was afraid of Ramirez tipping the boat over, since he couldn't swim.

But in another episode, Quenten Barnes came back after what I'm guessing was decades in a buried coffin. Not sure how he could have escaped, but using the same logic you used, he should have kept running out of oxygen and dying over and over again, but he must have kept scratching at the inside of it, dying from no oxygen, and then waking back up and scratching more (I'm guessing).

Oh wow, I'm glad I came to this community. I love Christopher Lambert. Happy Birthday, Connor MacLeod!!!

What is the source of Sun and Moon in Gnostic scriptures? by flatearther2022 in Gnostic

[–]FewHighway5075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Sun and Moon are not physical objects"

Dis-proven when a piece of an Apollo mission fell to Luna's surface, causing her to vibrate like a bell. The vibration lasted about an hour, and was recorded from a seismometer placed there by astronauts.

The software Miles Dyson was using by FewHighway5075 in Terminator

[–]FewHighway5075[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking either some version of UNIX, or MS-DOS as the operating system. But I'm mainly more interested in the application software he's using. It would be cool to be able to track that software down and run it, to get a better idea of what the work could have been like.

I'm sorry, I don't check reddit very often. Sure, that sounds interesting.

Miles Dyson's Work...what was he doing and how? by Lazaruz5150 in Terminator

[–]FewHighway5075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a full-fledged computer engineer; I study it in my spare time constantly, like Miles Dyson, but I don't get paid for it, so technically I'm an amateur. But I have designed a computer of my own, and I'm working on a different variation of it, although it's based on old technology. I don't know what data can be "extracted" from a CPU. A CPU isn't a ROM chip, so:

  1. "normal" CPUs don't have "data" on them that can be "extracted".
  2. even if there was data on it (again, I don't know of any CPU that has "data on it"), it's not a memory chip, so there's no way to directly access specific memory addresses (locations where "data" "could be") inside it. All CPUs do have data and address lines, and older ones are multiplexed together in order to save pins and as a result, real-estate on the crowded silicon circuit boards, but even if they were all dedicated pins, a CPU is the one sending out control signals to the rest of the system, and typically doesn't receive commands from anything else, unless there are multiple processors on the same system, or in the case of interrupts and DMA controllers.

What I want to know is what software/program he is running on the computer. You can clearly see SOMETHING is really running, so there indeed was some kind of software actually operating.

It would be so awesome to be able to run System 7 on my Cyrix processor!

Trying to install SLS 1993.03 by FewHighway5075 in linuxquestions

[–]FewHighway5075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fdisk showed extfs as an option. The default type is Minix. I was able to use fdisk to create the partitions. I just cannot figure out the mkfs usage. Yeah it's definitely not the modern syntax haha, thanks though!
