I wouldn't mind being able to see "epitaph one" without buying or renting the DVD's.
Slightly OT, but I just noticed that io9 is "Presented by FOX" this week. A little amusing considering the considerable venom that is directed towards them around here whenever T:SCC, Firefly or any number of other things is brought up. Advertising money heals all wounds I guess. I should also probably be thankful that FOX is promoting genre shows in the right place.
@Dr Emilio Lizardo: i will add my venom to the FOX...i refuse to pay for any of your products and will not buy any new fOX DVD till at least next May since you cancelled TSCC on a cliffhanger I am hanging up my wallet on you.
Probably can't be any worse than the way that substance abuse is usually treated in superhero comics, which almost always has a whiff of the PSA about them, even when the stories themselves were forbidden under the Comics Code Authority.
"There have always been ghosts in the machine. Random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul. Why is it that when some robots are left in darkness, they will seek out the light? Why is it that when robots are stored in an empty space, they will group together, rather than stand alone? How do we explain this behavior? Random segments of code? Or is it something more? When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness? When does a difference engine become the search for truth? When does a personality simulation become the bitter mote... of a soul? "
@The Curse of Millhaven: I spent that whole damn book waiting for the computer to go crazy and start killing everyone. I'm still convinced there were pages missing from my copy.
"Personally, I'm already scared of the idea of an internet that complains that I spend too much time online looking and should get out and get some fresh air and sunlight."
Probably not, since you will be a part of its processing habilities (well, kinda... unless you become some kind of cancer). The last thing it'll want would be to you to go outside and off the network.
@Néstor Daniel Altamirano: Unless the lack of regular sunlight interferes with your processing capacity. It may realize that "down-time" for its processing nodes is healthier in the long run, and so will periodically switch off your connection so that you can go outside and get some air.
@OW-Holmes, the housekeeper.: Perhaps the way to show the machines how worthy we are is to create something of such magnificence that even a machine will stand in awe.
Like maybe combining pr0n and LOLcats into LOLpr0n.
@braak: i remember you posting this! still fascinating. can you imagine the kind of person a spam bot would be IRL? i'd want to take it out back and shoot it after three minutes, tops.

Well, I'm not that surprised since Season 8 was a big success, but exited for what's to come.
