Weeeeellll, mostly it's all because Cavill is a sadist ;-)

But the OS crashing as a result of that systemic failure may actually be the most reasonable desirable outcome compared to any other possible outcome.

In which case this should've been documented behaviour and probably configurable.

Hmmmm.

More like standing there and loudly shitting your pants and spreading it around the stage.

Except "freak out" could have various manifestations.

In this case it was "burn down the venue".

It should have been "I'm sorry, there's been an issue, let's move on to the next speaker"

Poorly written code can't.

In this case:

  1. Load config data
  2. If data is valid:
    1. Use config data
  3. If data is invalid:
    1. Crash entire OS

Is just poor code.

I always like to tell my BSG story.

  1. Watch mini series, it's good
  2. Don't get into the rest, forget about it
  3. Come home one day to flat mate watching it on DVD, just as the Galactica jumps into the atmosphere on New Caprica and jumps out again.
  4. Me: "I need to watch this from the start"
  5. Flat mate ejects the disc right then and there and inserts the first disc of the first season.
  6. We watch it every night until the end

Best TV ever made.

Each to their own.

I loved the ending, but that doesn't mean you have to.

There are only six books. There's quite a lot of fan-fiction. /S

KJA and BH having been grinding FH's legacy to dust for years now.

I gave KJA a chance with his seven volume Saga of Seven Suns which is worse than his Dune works.

I'm not quibbling about what is and isn't canon, KJA is just a truly unmitigated awful writer.

If your source material is a steaming pile of horse manure then "inspired by" or "based on" is still going to smell bad.

If anything, it's probably calmed P'n'S down a bit...

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 19 points 4 months ago (3 children)

... a prequel series inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anders...

Yeah, I'm out.

Poverty ponies

I just tried googling this and found nothing useful. I did find some gatekeeping on ar15.com though.
