Data's definition for friendship seems to borrow very heavily from a book called _The Little Prince_. You can read the chapter on friendship here: http://www.angelfire.com/hi/littleprince/framechapter21.html
Monday, June 1. 2009Podcast 20: If This Mic's a Rockin'...
We recorded Podcast 20 in Joey's location, and it seems the microphone was unstable, as there's a persistent sound effect of the microphone 'rocking'. Oh well, we still had a good time discussing TNG. Also, it is worth noting that this podcast is under 2 hours. So all you complainers can stop crying. This podcast covers episodes 5-8 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 4. Our guest for this podcast is Aaron.
Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Joey is a security freak The Endowment Effect - Great article written by Jeff Atwood The best definition for friendship: "As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The inputs eventually are anticipated. And even 'missed' when absent. When something once expected is no longer there." - Data, to Ishara on friendship Data has Yar Fever THERE IS NO CONFERENCE ROOM!

Johnny Elbows on :
Regarding the Future Perfect episode. In grammar, there are two types of past tenses, perfect past tenses and imperfect past tenses.
A perfect past tense expresses an action that is complete: I ran home yesterday. The past tense in the preceding sentence is perfect because all of the action was in the past. An imperfect past tense expresses an action that may or may not be complete: I was running. The past tense in the preceding sentence is imperfect because some of the action was in the past, but some of it still may be occurring in the present. It is possible that I was running, and that I am still running. To my knowledge, there is no future imperfect tense, but if there were, it would express action that occurred in the future, and might still be occurring in the present. In this way, by giving the episode this title, the writers gave watchers a clue about the content of the episode. They told them that the action appeared to be happening in the future, but in reality, it was all in the present. Radar on :
Hmm, that sounded a lot like what I said on the podcast. :P But thank you for clarifying.
Who said Star Trek writers weren't deep? |
