got this from another forum...actually makes sense as to why there was a lock down....

I still think the hatch is a psychological research facility of some sort. The research would clearly be about isolation and manipulation, i.e. what it takes to get people to push the button all the time. My hunch is that the original procedures for the hatch were that they would lock the "crew" into the hatch while they're doing a food drop, so that they could replenish supplies while ensuring that the crew avoids contact with the outside world. Works better with a crew of 2 than 40-something.

I'm actually thinking the lockdown was an error in the system now. When Locke's on the bicycle, it says "20 minutes to lockdown." and then when he fiddles with it, it says "10 minutes to lockdown". And then a little bit later it counts down from 10 seconds.

Anyone notice the playing cards had a Swan on them?

I'm not sure it's been talked about yet but it looks as if the girl at the house Locke is inspecting is Nadia, Sayid's long lost girl?

She's like, "If I had a husband I am sure he would be happy to hear that"

Yep, that is most definitely Nadia.

OK, I'm thinking that the lockdown happened because of the food drop. For some reason, I think the hatch goes into lockdown whenever there is a food drop. I think the speaker was an automatic warning that the hatch was about to be locked down. Unfortunately, something was wrong with the wiring maybe, and Locke couldn't understand the message.

Oh, and "Henry Gale" didn't fool me for a minute.

The countdown happened way too fast. It went from 20 minutes to "10 minutes to lockdown" and after the flashback it said something completed (almost sounded like "phase complete") and then did a countdown from 10 seconds and locked the doors.

I got an GREAT HYPOTHESIS! Thought up all by myself!

PERHAPS...the food drop was done because the timer went all the way down. I think that if it goes down, Dharma assumes that whoever was pushing the button in the hatch either died or got out. They drop the food so that whoever is the new person in the hatch (either one of the Others or whoever is assigned to go down there) will have plenty to eat. I think that because the timer cycled through, they assumed that no one was in there anymore (atleast not alive). As for the lockdown...I cannot really explain it...perhaps the 'mysterious' island was doing it knowing what would happen to Locke so it could re-handicap him.

Well, I don't know how they would get the food there so fast after the timer cycled. I mean they're thousands of miles from any place. This had to be a planned drop.

well, we really don't know for sure where they are...but the food got there somehow...

BTW...wasn't the food also on a parachute?...I am not so convinced that it was plane dropped, because someone should have heard/saw it if it had been. Perhaps it was sent via remote control from another side of the island by the Dharma guys. Who knows what all else is on the island. I mean, these guys could have a small airport and fleet of boats for all we know.

Well, we know they were off course a lot from where they should have been (pilot said a thousand or so).

Yeah, it was on a parachute. Via remote control? How? You'd still have to have something pretty sizeable to make a drop of that much food and supplies. We know they have one boat, we can't be sure of a fleet and an airport though.

why would the henry gail imposter draw a map to the parachute site if he knew that good guys would most likely dig up the body to inspect? that wasn't very smart.

my only guess is that he (they) didn't expect anyone to actually dig it up...maybe he hoped they would just see the grave and assume...i was shocked that they (the others) were smart enough to make up this whole story yet they didn't expect someone to check the grave? :blink:

I wonder why "Henry" left the drivers license on the REAL Henry Gale. It was almost like "Henry" tested the group to see if they could find it...

its not like the license was just sitting around...it was buried with the guy....even if it wouldn't have been if they had found the body they would have known it was a man....and if it had somehow decomposed too far when they came back they would have told Jack and he would have wanted to see it most likely...and being a doctor by looking at the pelvic bone he would have known it was a man not a woman...

i just think they didn't actually think anyone would dig up the grave...if they did they would of at least put a woman one would assume...

anyone can compare screenshots of nadia in previous episodes in afghanistan and the girl with teh house in lockdown?

and the promos, hurley, the extra man (perhaps he is dave, not the man in the hatch), the fate of the man in the hatch, the raid to the food drop, so many possibilies

and the three week gap between SOS episode and two for the road

Umm, how did you guys miss this? The guy in the hatch is not Dave...

Yeah, I think Dave is probably someone inside the institution Hurley was in. Hmm, what was Leonard's friends name? It wasn't Dave, was it?

Hmm, the lockbox number was 1516 and Henry's address was 815...seems the numbers are turning up everywhere :shifty:

Odd question.

I thought Locke couldn't feel pain in his legs?

Yet when the door fell on him, he clearly was in a ton of pain, especially afterwards when he was trying to walk.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.

    • Uninstalr 3.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      Uninstalr 3.1 by Razvan Serea Introducing Uninstalr: Easy to use and very accurate software uninstaller for Windows. It can uninstall multiple apps at the same time and we think it’s pretty cool. Developed with expertise by Macecraft Software - the minds behind jv16 PowerTools. Key Features Batch uninstall many apps at the same time. Supports unattended uninstallation of apps. Supports monitoring of new software installations. Also detects portable apps and previously uninstalled software leftovers. Shows all the data added to your system by installed software on a file by file basis. Shows all the data it will remove before starting the uninstallation. Filter and search the list of installed software. According to our benchmark, Uninstalr is the most accurate software uninstaller by leaving the least amount of leftovers when uninstalling apps. Supports detection and uninstallation of Microsoft Store, Steam, Big Fish Game System, Chocolatey, NuGet and Ninite installed software. Supports Windows Dark Mode. Supports Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. Comes with these translations builtin: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Has a single executable file portable version and a normal setup version. Uninstalr is freeware, lightweight and easy to use. No bells and whistles, no nonsense. Uninstalr’s custom uninstallation engine has a dedicated support for the detection and uninstallation of 15 types of apps: Normal Windows apps Microsoft Store apps Portable apps Chocolatey apps Ninite apps PortableApps.com apps Steam games EA App games Epic Games Store games Riot platform games GOG Galaxy games WarGaming.net games Battle.net games itch.io games Big Fish platform games Uninstalr 3.1 changelog: Key Changes Uninstalr now starts and shows the list of installed apps faster after the initial scan has been completed, and with much smaller memory usage. Uninstalr now detects and highlights apps that automatically start with Windows. Greatly improved the detection of portable apps. Improvements New feature: Uninstalr now detects and highlights apps that automatically start with Windows. New feature: Uninstalr now highlights possible leftovers and apps from Russia and China. This can be disabled from the Settings. New feature: A new filter that allows you to show only software that is installed to other than the system drive. New feature: Users can now select to always do the deepest and the most accurate scan for installed apps, at the cost of the analysis taking a longer time. Greatly improved the detection of portable apps, such as added dedicated support for MiTeC, EZ Tools and SysInternals tools. Improved support for portable apps installed via Windows System Control Center (WSCC). NirSoft portable apps are now listed with "NirSoft" prefix for easier identification. Improved the speed of uninstalling apps. The main installed software listing search will now find "Xbox GameBar" if you search for "Game bar" and vice versa. The tooltip now displays more detailed information of the installed apps, such as its registry key and uninstaller path. The links in the About section now look more like clickable links. The main menu is now more clearly indicated in the main user interface. Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office ships with some Windows 11 installations and is now considered a builtin Windows app and only listed if builtin Windows apps filter is enabled. Added a Help button to the main user interface that opens the help section of the website. Added an option not to close Uninstalr after uninstallation. If you open the Uninstalr website from the app, the website now receives the version number of your current Uninstalr version and warns you if you are using anything but the latest version. Improved the accuracy of the New Software Monitor. Improved confirmation messages for Steam and other platform related uninstalls. Improved the uninstallation performance of Steam games. Fixes: Known bug fixed: Some installed app names are capitalized incorrectly, such as "CCleaner Portable" is listed as "ccleaner portable". Known bug fixed: Some apps can be listed twice, for example, Smart Defrag can be listed once as Smart Defrag and then Smart Defrag Home. Known bug fixed: On the pre-uninstallation screen, the Scripts checkbox can be checked by default on Dark Mode but not on the normal mode. Known bug fixed: Perform Deep Analysis can be started only by clicking the button, not via the Right Click menu, main menu or F4 keyboard shortcut. Muse Hub could be incorrectly listed as Adobe Muse. SyncTrayzor was incorrectly detected as two unrelated software, SyncTrayzor and Syncthing. Smart Defrag was incorrectly listed twice as Smart Defrag 11 and Smart Defrag Home. It was possible to enter non-printable characters to the search input boxes of the main screen, and the path listing screen, which caused the UI to look funny. Changing the translation from Settings, especially many times in a row, caused the UI to distort. If you had multiple instances of portable apps on your system, such as the 64b and 32b versions of the same portable app, typically only one of them was detected, not both. In some very rare cases, Uninstalr UI could start with random characters in its search input boxes, which could make the UI look rather confusing. This was a rare issue, only reported by two users. The pre-uninstallation screen could display non-existing paths for example as the software's installation directory or main exe file. This was a cosmetic issue. New Software Monitor cannot detect the installation of Claude. Selecting all the found software made the UI look funny with the top panel covering everything else (because the names of all the selected software were listed there). Sometimes a Steam game could be listed a normal app instead of a Steam game. If the system restart after an uninstallation is delayed, e.g. because of Windows Updates being installed, this additional delay is incorrectly added to the time how long the uninstallation process took. This cosmetic bug could cause the program incorrectly report an uninstallation time longer than the actual uninstallation time. Uninstalling Minecraft could simply fail. The Only scan the system drive for installed apps setting does not fully work. If some apps are installed to a non system drive and this setting is enabled, the app could still be detected and listed on the main user interface. Changing any settings could also incorrectly alter the Only Scan The System Drive For Installed Apps setting. Microsoft OneDrive and Copilot are not always detected. If you enter something to the search filter field, then select the text and press the Delete key, this triggers the Uninstall button click even if your intent was to delete the text input. If you press the F5 key to refresh the screen during the uninstallation loading screen, the program will crash. If you enabled some setting, such as "Do not analyze installed app installation sizes", it could automatically be unchecked later. Uninstalr doesn't warn you if you try to remove Fortec antivirus. There should be a warning if user attempts to remove any antivirus or antimalware type program. Such programs should not be uninstalled using a third party uninstaller, as they are typically protected against automated uninstallation, for security reasons. With "Do not analyze installed app installation sizes" option checked from the Settings, Uninstalr could still display some installation size related elements in the UI which was confusing. The "Only scan the system drive" option moved under Improve Scan Speed from the General settings. If two software have the exact same name and version number, selecting both of them for uninstallation fails because only one is actually selected. Sorting the installed apps by size sometimes fails and the order is incorrect. The "Don't show which paths are currently analyzed" did not work correctly - some parts of the UI still show the currently analyzed path with this setting checked. The "Don't list software less than 10 MB" filter did not work correctly - some apps smaller than 10 MB could still be listed. Uninstalr could start very quickly and display an empty list of detected apps. Restarting the app usually fixed the issue and the list of installed apps was properly displayed. If you placed portable Uninstalr to a same folder with other portable apps, those were not detected because Uninstalr automatically added its installation folder to the ignore list. When trying to uninstall some specific software, Uninstalr could get stuck on the Searching for more data relating to the app phase. Uninstalr could sometimes do a silent uninstallation even if user had unchecked the Perform a silent uninstallation option. Known issues: Uninstalr can fail to run with an Out Of Memory error in systems that have a lot of installed apps. Using the New Software Monitor tool multiple times during one session can cause the program to get stuck on the Scanning stage. The "uninstallation completed" message box sometimes closes when the user moves the mouse cursor over the button before user clicks it. There is no feedback for the user after Fix Information feature has been used. The Right Click menu's Select by publisher option can display the number of apps per each publisher without correct vertical alignment. The default user interface might not display all of the found installed apps if you have over 600 installed apps. If you do, using the Screen Reader Compatible Interface solves the issue. Leftover apptype filter checkbox is shown in red font only in Dark Mode. Clicking the app's icon from the Windows Taskbar doesn't minimize/restore the app like other apps. The warning about an app that user wishes to uninstall being related to some other app user did not select can sometimes be inaccurate. If app's language is changed without restarting Uninstalr, the list of installed software might not automatically refresh. When software is being uninstalled, the UI can say it is processing paths unrelating to the uninstalled app. This is purely cosmetic and does not mean these paths are removed. Uninstalr might not properly detect and/or uninstall Steam games if they are installed to a drive different than Steam's default location in C:\. You might see "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed" error message from Windows Installer during uninstallation. This is a cosmetic issue.

      I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

      Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I always do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions relays before defining it.
