Why would the cells in the pre-trial area be hidden by a solid wall, but the transportation holding area cells are open for all to see? Blake's cell in the trial area is similar to the one he's in when he first meets Varon - it would've been good for the Federation to be able to teleport the entire cell and its occupant around. But in the end, we know they didn't have teleportation.

Unfortunately, I forgot about the cell with the forcefield wall. That causes problems, since I had a whole forcefield technology theory worked out (it can still work, the main argument is about forcefields on ships, but I would prefer more limited forcefield use by the Federation. Maybe I can argue Blake was in a cell with a two way mirror but otherwise normal substance wall? [for those who need to know, the difference in special effects and teleport technology did lead me to give the ST element the clearly superior technology]). Win some, lose some.

The chairman went on to give examples of Sony’s new error = messages:

 

A file that big?

It might be very useful.

But now it’s gone.

 

The Web site you seek

cannot be located, but

countless more exist.

 

Chaos reigns within.

Reflect, repent, and reboot.

Order shall return.

 

ABORTED effort:

Close all that you have worked on.

You ask way too much.

 

Yesterday it worked.

Today it is not working.

Windows is like that.

 

First snow, then silence.

This thousand dollar screen dies

so beautifully.

 

With searching comes loss

and the presence of absence:

"My Novel" not found.

 

The Tao that is seen

Is not the true Tao, until

You bring fresh toner.

 

Windows NT crashed.

I am the Blue Screen of Death.

No one hears your screams.

 

Stay the patient course

Of little worth is your ire

The network is down.

 

A crash reduces

your expensive computer

to a simple stone.

 

Three things are certain:

Death, taxes, and lost data.

Guess which has occurred.

 

You step in the stream,

but the water has moved on.

This page is not here.

 

Out of memory.

We wish to hold the whole sky,

But we never will.

 

Having been erased,

The document you’re seeking

Must now be retyped.

 

Serious error.

All shortcuts have disappeard.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

 

PS - I loved the B7 Haiku.
