A while back I read a book by Michael Crichton called "Prey", in which a swarm of nanomachines went rouge and were killing people and such. A very good book, and in it the swarm of nanomachines resembled a large cloud, which would swarm around it's victim and suffocate/tear them up.

One of the ways they fought off the nanomachines was to use electromagnets on them, where the magnetic pulse would render them dead.

what if ( and a big what if at that... ) the cloud is a swarm of nanomachines? I cant remember if it was speculation or mentioned in the show that the machinery in the compound is electormagnetic, but what if they are imputting the code at measured intervals to keep the machines from pulsing with an electromagnetic wave? It could be sort of a fail-safe, in case whatever experiment is being conducted goes rouge and nobody is left to enter the numbers, the pulse would hopefully kill the nanomachines.

bah, just talking out the opposite orifice here. Not looking for agreement, just voicing my thoughts. ;)

It would make more sense if the computer in the hatch only controls the e.m. wave which is used as a containment method. The nanotechnology could be from some unknown source being studied by whoever.

Still the that theory is like way out there though.

Lol I would watch out.. Why would an official site charge you $30 to gain access? It sounds like some scam trying to profit from Lost fans.

Ok.. so the EMP could destroy the monster (in your theory which I like :p)... how is it an "incident" if they don't enter the numbers? Why get them to do it at all? Why give them the control to destroy their important security system? That'd mean that the security system is protecting them from something else?

Mmm, sounds very dodgy..

Sorry to spoil the party guys but the show's producers have said the 'smoke' isn't nanomachines.

I'll get the ball rolling again then:

Theory: The thing which killed the pilot wasnt the smoke.

FYI, the Kraftkost site is NOT an official viral site from ABC according to the folks over on the Lost Forums.

I would HIGHLY doubt ABC would be charging people $30 to look at some website.

On topic, it was suggested that Locke and Eko might be brothers. Hence the reason Locke saw the plane crash, and when he first saw eko they stared at each other pretty strange. Some suggest that Locke's dad went on a "Walkabout" in Nigera and hooked up with some Nigeran lady, and had Locke and Eko.

Dumb ass comment how can his father have children incase you didnt notice hes a male.

weve seen lockes mother anyways.

Err, I'll resist telling you about the birds and the bees... but I think hes suggesting that his father got it on with someone in Nigeria, thus fathering Ecko.

But, that doesn't make any sense, and how would they just "know" anyway..

If Locke dies I can see so many not watching this show anymore.

Hell yeah, I'd be ****ed. Locke's one of my favorite characters. Although I suppose if Eko was in a lot of scenes like Locke it wouldn't be as bad, but it wouldn't be the same without Locke. Locke's the only one who makes any progress doing anything on the island.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
