One thought; everything that is going on could be similar to the book Sphere, by Michael Crichton, in that the people are manifesting everything that is going on. And Michael is actually doing the talking on the computer, just like Sphere.

Also, I just noticed Wikipedia has an entry for the show with some interesting observations.

we were learning about those philosiphers in philosiphy class and I was thinking to myself ...both these characters are in the story. Another coinciding philosipher with these 2 is Hobbes, not sure if hes inocrperated somehow.

Oh my god! i can't beleive no-one is acknowledging the guy's post a few pages back about how the "incident" could have been a plane crash - it makes so much sense. Maybe interfering with the computer lets off a huge electromagnetic wave that disrupts planes and other things like whatever desmond was using for his "round the world" trip. Then desmond tried to fiddle around with it and made flight 815 crash.

The creators have said we'll find out why the plane crashed sometime this season and its as good a bet as any at this point that it's got something to do with the computer in the bunker.

(Y) that sounds legit to me, but we will just have to find out...

But why does the plane have the Dharma logo if its just an accident by the Electromagnetic waves

But just remeber that inside the hatch, well when sayid (sp?) and jack went underneath and found that the concrete was as thick as the walls used to contain the core at chernobyl, so whatever is in there obviously is not ment to be out.

And what happened to teh 'security system' anyway?

the video appears to be very old though. desmond even says he saw the video when he got there if i remember correctly, which has been much longer than the 815 survivers. plus, didnt they ask desmond about the missing section? i cant remember if he ran out by then or not. but it does seem to suggest that the film strip is much older and the 'incident' would be an older incident before flight 815 crashes.

oh yeah its definatley older than the crash, i wasn't saying that the crash was "the" incident, just another occurance, like the incdident refered to on tape, that happened as a result of fiddling around with the computer.

i was only putting out a theory as i was jus taken by the guy saying about how it could have been a plane crash. i don't really hav any theory as to how it all happened - kind of thought i could leave that part to someone else :)

besides, micheal was using the computer to talk to walt and nothing happened (that we know of) so may be a flawed theory in first place.

my theory is that them entering the numbers is keeping the electromagnet running therefore somehow keeping the island in existence and that the "incident" was that they tried just leaving the magnet running normally but it failed and the workers died when the island was no longer stable. the problem was choice, it needs the constant randm manually input in order to properly function... thats why it cant be automated. (note: lots of my theory is derived from the Kentaro Washio's guys talking about this disclosure project... **** makes sense hah)

I want LOST back!!! :crazy:

Alright, I'm better now :D These long breaks that they're taking is really starting to get on my nerves though :wacko:

I tend not to think about it.

The awesome part was that I discovered lost when season 2 started, so I had tons of stuff to watch :p

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
