Halt and Catch Fire Season 2

[Charmonium]

I'm not a C++ programmer, but can someone explain to me how a network mapping program can accidently wipe the drives of the system it's connected to? My BS meter went off on that one.

Yeah, I thought so too but you have to figure there's no security on the system. It's not like network software had been invented yet. So I'm guessing it probably work like code injection would work today on a web site.

I'm interested in what Joe will be doing with the spare computer time. I'm pretty sure that IBM had TSO (time sharing option) by the mid 80's. So he could make a small fortune by renting out the time between 5pm and 9am.

 

[ultimatebob]

well if it has root access it can do whatever it wants really, no?

But why would a program designed to kick freeloaders off of a network be deleting files to begin? I don't think that even the writers could come up with a believable answer, which is why Donna didn't have an answer to that question

 

[OutHouse]

Does donna have AIDS?

 

[BarkingGhostar]

I never got past the third or forth episode and on Friday deleted all 13 recorded episodes that were on the DVR.

 

[Zim Hosein]

Does donna have AIDS?

Apparently she's pregnant, but Gordon might have HIV... :hmm:

 

[dank69]

Apparently she's pregnant, but Gordon might have HIV... :hmm:

From blowing lines? Has to be something else.

 

[Zim Hosein]

I'm just guessing at this point dank69, I'm trying to figure out what sickness makes one faint, weak and comes on quickly. :hmm:

coke withdrawal syndrome?

 

[Drako]

coke withdrawal syndrome?

But he was drinking a Coke, so ... :biggrin:

Bazinga !!!!

 

[Zim Hosein]

coke withdrawal syndrome?

Does substance withdrawal make one so weak he/she can't open a can of pop?

 

[Exophase]

Apparently she's pregnant, but Gordon might have HIV... :hmm:

I wish the show wasn't doing this whole subplot of Gordon having some (probably serious) health problem. The show is doing fine without adding this level of drama to it.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Donna is cute, but I can't help think this whenever she's on screen:

oh, and she's also dating Elijah Wood.

 

[bbhaag]

Loved this last episode. I knew that Joe wasn't the type of guy who would sit in the basement and be happy.

We all know that Joe will screw over Mutiny at some point. It's just a matter of when.

ya, time to cut that sucka off!

 

[Zim Hosein]

So Gordon has CTE, not HIV.

 

[OutHouse]

has donna always had that nasty mole? for some reason it sticks out like a sore thumb this season.

 

[ultimatebob]

So Gordon has CTE, not HIV.

I wonder when he's going to tell his wife about this.

Hell... I wonder if Donna is going to even bother to tell her hubby that she got knocked up before she gets the abortion.

 

[ultimatebob]

It was nice to have "Evil Joe" back in this episode. I missed him

 

[TechBoyJK]

Hopefully Cameron can dial it down a wee bit on the manufactured drama.

You never dated a girl that age and that wild? They're walking drama machines IRL.

 

[BrokenVisage]

So who had "Joe discovers broadband" as his project for this season?

 

[ultimatebob]

So who had "Joe discovers broadband" as his project for this season?

I didn't, but I figured that he would find a way to screw with Mutiny from the first episode this season.

 

[pyonir]

Not a fan of the whole Gordon situation. Seems like they needed something for him to have a conflict with, so they picked illness.

And now they added infidelity in the last episode!
