Gets canceled in 3...2...1.

 

###### should have hit the fan in the 2nd episode. But instead they are already putting in filler like they did with Stargate universe.

Don't get me wrong this show looks interesting, but its definitely not like how they portrait it in the trailer.

 

The preview for next week looks promising though.

Just in case you weren't aware, episode 3 is available on iTunes and SyFy's website.

As for filler, that was a duh! All serialized shows have to have some level of filler and this show starts off with the outbreak, so to think that there wouldn't be filler, in my opinion, is expecting way to much from a show like this.

Jordan Hayes... :wub: :wub: :wub:

She is incredibly cute!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
