Ancients Technology

steveland?

Anyone find it funny that the ancients somehow made all their technology "Plug and Play" basically?

I mean the episode today (The Reckoning Part 2), somehow they managed to just plug a laptop into the Ancient weapon...

Nice of the Ancients to include USB ports on their weapons...

Id say jack or the asguards designed some sort of interface for human computers to connect to those ancient computers ....that or no one really cares

they have had years to make there computers compatable with aliens crystel systems

Clearly the Ancients invented the RJ-45.

More to the point - what self respecting scientist uses a Dell laptop? I'd want some quadopterons if I was travelling off-world, personally.

Has to be advertisment. Alienware laptop would seem fitting.

And the 802.11 standard...

Plus i believe the Ancients have released a 802.16 RFQ.

hwy would they need interfaces on the machines anyway, would have thought they would of had some sort of wireless interface.

Was actually thinking of calling the Dell customer support and ask which of their Laptops is 'Ancient Inside' or something like that, hehe

Well I bet they're using Firefox ROFL

Oh and Linux of course with Kernel 124235442.42

If its going to be running continuously for 10,000 years, it'd want to be!

I bet they really had to fùck around with their ATi drivers to get those visualisations working though.

Naa not really, they used the Omega Drivers (or maybe they were called Pegasus? :eek: )

Gilgamesh

but then again, maybe the Ancient created ATI, possibly standing for Ancient Technologie Interface OMG OMG OGM /me jumps around having hissy fit

mr_angry

Wow. The whole Linux-ATi thing went so far over everybody's head, didn't it? Oh well...

They do. Several episodes I've seen, they don't have the laptops physically linked with the ancients technology. Wireless.

Isn't it obvious?
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are Ancients!
They got kicked out for fighting in that Diner about who built the better GUI!
The wraith probably have equipment that only apple computers will interface with!
It's a conspiracy I tell ya!
Just watch out for a wraith humming don't fear the reaper wearing a suspicious pair of white iPod headphones!
And that would explain why the ancient wormholes keep screwing up and sending people to alternate realities, black holes, the wrong address and have power issues, Window Powered Indeed.
Perhaps the Asgard use Linux, that would explain why they are sooo laid back and groovy!

Well I think I have milked this gag for all its worth!!! NEXT!

So..... let's recap

Bill Gates Is ANUBIS????, would explain a lot I guess,

Wraith originate from Cork! (Apple Tech support Site)

Stargate uses telnet, for connection?

ZPMs are made by Sony (promise infite Power but only last 2 minutes)

Asgard are script kiddies, who mess about with a lot of crap, but never really create something themselves.

Maybe this show is more realistic then we think.

Oh yeah, Goa'uld are Parcelforce,
allways unrelieble, think they are gods and ignore oppinions of others who work with them.
