a little off topic... but Sarge... I love your tag:
"There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't."

I was trying to explain binary to a friend the other day and managed to confuse the heck out of him when I said 1=1, 10=2, 11=3, 100=4... etc.

Are you a programmer, Bob?

I studied C and C++ in college, but I wouldn't call myself a programmer. I used to call myself a User Interface Designer... (which meant that I spent a lot of time talking to developers and translating their ideas into user friendly designs)

but since the dotcom fall out, I am now calling myself (ICK!) a program manager. It's making me crazy. I miss having a job that actually allowed me to be creative and artistic. I found that both coding and designing were immensely satisfying... and being a PM... magnificently boring.

I've spent the last three years learning C++ on my own. Right about the time I was ready to go look for a job, the aforementioned dot.com bubble popped. Anyway, I'd love to discuss what the programming field is like in practice, if you're up for it, write me at:

aaaaalright, this ep was quite good!
Its was different, kinda spiritual. Even there were some fights, even using martial arts, but the fights and all this were just the suger in the coffee, the main point was this subconcious thing, you know the thing with the shepperd saying he dont care someone is innocent (past, future, we'll see, i hope so) and this guy saying that that aint a sheppert at all. And when river told she melted with the ship i nearly boutght it, it was freakin good job. Maybe joss should have revealed the point of river being on earlys ship bit later.
This Fast&Furious like going-through-ship sequences were fine job too. And it had some nice philosophical lines like early speaking about the purpose of an empty room. This ep performed very well creating some change to the other eps.

Rivers point of view was fascinating. One point that I havn't seen touched on was the differing clarity of what she sensed. Inara's thoughts came through crystal clear. Mal's thoughts were filtered as if she had to dig much deeper to get what he was thinking.
Or,if whe were sensing the future, Mal's line comes from much farther in the future.
I'm going with the surface-deeper theory. Inara has already shown how much she cares for Mal in "The Train Job" and "Our Mrs. Reynolds", while Mal hasn't yet seemed to admit his feelings to himself.

Hope to see more of my favorite show. Working tonight, Serenity set to record.

I thought that Mal almost sounded as though he was in tears during the telepathy scene. It was painful to watch.

I just had to watch this ep again... and i think it aint quite right, the thing river sensed werent some things from the past or the future...
it were the thoughts of the ppl, it were the things that bugged them while they were trying to distract themselves from these thoughts by conversation. These were the true doc,jane,book,wash,zoe,inara and mal(did you ever read the works of shun yu ;););) ), unhidden behind their masks, unfiltered by some sociological behavior rules. Doc said that river would be able to feel everything, well guess she isnt able to feel just all of her feeling but also all feeling of other persons.

good point on the clarity thing. The strongest, alsomost overbrearing of the sexual activity was in real time and hence very hard to deal with. Damn I love this show. Has anyone thrown the theory up that Early is what they were trying to turn River into, and when we hear him get philosophical, that is the real Early who is trying to get out (like when the real River seems to come out sometimes) maybee it was the true early fighting what was done to him. Was his past of fear and torture merely implanted by the allience. A type of "ghost hack".

good point. from what i have hearde from river this guy likes treating ppl like this, he likes being a bounty hunter, i could imagine that if you meet bobba fett someday in a pub, this guy would be just like this
