[qman] DavidW says, “well, I have no idea what his password might be.”
[qman] Jota says, “The password is going to be something like ‘Talbot is a jerk’.”
[qman] Jota says, “I wonder who’ll play the Q Computer in the film version.”
[qman] Gunther says, “Samuel L. Jackson in a falsetto”
[qman] Gunther asks, “hm, did I simply assume the Qputer is female?”
[qman] Gunther says, “how mechanonormative”
[qman] DavidW says, “I assumed the computer is male, but I don’t remember why I think so.”
[qman] Jota says (to Gunther), “I don’t know, but I assumed the same thing.”
[qman] DavidW says, “I suppose I’m thinking of KITT.”
[qman] Jota says, “Of course, they’ll probably declare that just having him talk to a voice in his head isn’t visual enough, so they need to make her into a hologram that only he can see. (Like Quantum Leap.)”
[qman] Gunther says (to DavidW), “now I wonder if it goes back to sexual orientation”
[qman] DavidW says (to Gunther), “nah.”
[qman] Gunther says, “I mean, KITT was definitely gay”
[qman] Jota says, “Hee.”
[qman] DavidW says, “anyway, regardless of Q-ter’s gender (or sexual orientation, for that matter), the latest comic would seem to suggest that the reader might be able to guess the password (or at least, figure it out before Q-Man himself does).”
[qman] Jota says, “Maybe. I suppose he’s not likely to know remember mother’s maiden name at this point.”
[qman] DavidW says, “Perhaps it’s something like abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz.”
[qman] DavidW says, “I used to be obsessed with Star Trek back in the day, and the Enterprise computer was almost always female.”
[qman] lpsmith says, “#belated The computer is male because it’s a butler.”
[qman] Jota asks, “So we have so far compared the Q Computer to Majel Barrett, KITT, and Alfred?”
[qman] Gunther says, “add SHODAN to that list”
