but how did he make him not age? The produces said that everything in the show could be explained scientifically. No aging? Shape shifting? Also, what ever happened to Michael and walt? Yea they are on the mainland, but is that it? Why did they not have to go back? It's going to be hard to get michael back since he is doing some new dumb cop show.

the nose bleed is a mystery to me because it supposedly had somethign to do with the fact that she had already been on the island. faraday got one also, but he was not on the island long, and the "survivors" were and they had no effects. linus had a bleed as well iirc. why was her's so bad that it killed her?

and they are not only doing de-climatation there, or else faraday would have had no place there as a physicist.

also, how do they "fall" into the desert? another wormhole?

I'd not played the game, but if they are just variables in the equation, how/why do they keep popping up everywhere?

/edit

and fair enough about movies not being 16 hours long. i concede a point on that :)

Did you even see the show? He died in season 4 finale i think, when the freighter exploded......

And about the desert, there are pocket holes everywhere in the world, i think theyre connected somehow, so thats why they showed up in the desert, that was explained by Faradays mom...

They didn't say scientifically, they said it would be explained with psuedo-science, which is pretty much science fiction. Jacob has been around for at least 100 years, doesn't age, lives in a shoe and has a crazy Island travelling cabin and you really expect him stopping Richards age to be explained with hard science? As for Michael and Walt, well Michael is dead as he was blown up last season on the freighter (did you maybe miss last season? lol). Dharma were doing de-climitization at the Hydra station, as we know there were/are plenty of other Dharma stations on the Island where a physicist would be needed, the Orchid for one.

As for the desert exit point, look into Vile Vortices on wikipedia, and check out the map

I have a feeling we're going to see many more biblical references in the coming season. Jacob throughout the episode is portrayed as a kind, helpful man. If you remember at the beginning of the episode, the character aside Jacob said that if he finds a way to kill him, he will. Could that man have taken the form of Locke (believe someone touched on this)? Also, Ben is livid that all these years of following Jacob's wishes and Richard never taking him to see him. My take on this is that Ben is the only one that is able to kill Jacob, hence the reason Richard never brought him to the statue. I believe Ben is actually the important one, not Locke. All these years he's felt insignificant but I feel that in the final season, Ben's true purpose will be revealed and it will be much more important than he ever imagined. I also believe that you can obviously parallel Jacob with Jesus, possibly Richard with Moses... Now, if Richard in fact knew that Ben was the only one who could kill Jacob, why would he let him into see him? Maybe because Jacob explained his purpose to Richard and told him that he would sacrifice himself...? I think the creators did a fairly good job of answering some questions and get us thinking some more, which makes me extremely eager to see the final season in 2010. Last thought, thinking what Miles said at the end of the episode is the truth...that them blowing up the bomb was actually what caused this all in the first place. Amazing show.

thats anubis for sure!

No actually its Taweret.....notice how the mouth is wide and rounded , the ears (though pointed) are short and close to the head and there appears to be a hat of some sort on the top of the head. If it were anubis the ears would be MUCH longer and the snout would be much thinner compared to the rest of the head.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
