Likes to mess with stuffs.


I apologize for the problems we're having with the fireflyfans.net domain. It seems that Network Solutions (the cartel) isn't playing very nice with TUCOWS and things got a bit out of sync with the domain. Hopefully by Monday things will get straightened out.

Yeah, the fireflyfans.net address hasn't been working for me, but when you leave out the "S", then it works just fine. I have no idea why.
But it's good to know that Haken's working on the problems!

Solan, et al:

Fireflyfan.net is not a 'mirror site'. It's just a co-registered human-rememorable domain name, along with Fireflyfans.net, for the numeric Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the server on which the site resides (lots of leetle files in a directory tree, just like on your computer's hard drive).

Specifically, Fireflyfan(s).net's numeric URL is 168.215.229.9, to which both domain 'names' are registered.

But rather than typing (or bookmarking) the domain name, one can always just use the numeric URL (i.e., http://168.215.229.9, or http://168.215.229.9/threadlist.asp?b=2, to get directly to the GenDis threadlist) and then bookmark that page (or set it as your homepage, as I have done for the past 3 years). Then just use that bookmark to get to the site.

Point is, one should not confuse a secondary domain name registration as a 'mirror', cuz it ain't. If fireflyfan(s)' server goes down, we're OoG 'til they get it fixed...



Explanatorily,

zoid

P.S.
I, of course, have tattooed my HOSTS file with "168.215.229.9 fireflyfans.net"; but there's one potential snag with this workaround. If -- at some later date -- Haken decides to move the site to another web provider's server(s), then the numeric URL will change. The site itself will still be usable to people who enter " www.fireflyfans.net", because Haken will transfer that domain name to the numeric URL.

The funny part will be that those who've tattooed their HOSTS file as I have, will have to (subliminal) remember to delete that line (and send Haken a check) (/subliminal), or else be unable to connect to the new site. That line tells my computer, "Every time I enter www.fireflyfans.net into my web browser, go to numeric URL 168.215.229.9." Which will no longer be hosting the leetle files that make up FFFn.

So, that'll be fun, when the time comes...

I intend to comment out the hosts file entry when I'm sure that the DNS problem is resolved. That way if a server change comes about I'm covered but if the DNS problem comes back it's a simple change to get the workaround back in place.

For the technically uninclined puting a # in front of a line in files like hosts tells the system to ignore that line.

Not to take away from Haken's "reader" mystique, but the actual reason he got that domain was that there was a reference to the site in the fan section of the Firefly DVDs but they spelled it wrong. :)

Oh, I've been back for about a month now (i.e, since the end of the football season, because I'm heterosexual and a Texan). Ever seen "Fever Pitch"? Same principle.

...And yes, Rick was definitely a Nexus-6, he just didn't know it. Then again, neither did Rachael:
Deckard: "She doesn't know."
Tyrell: "She's beginning to suspect, I think."
Deckard: "Suspect? How can it not know what it is?"
(NB: But of course, she didn't know, and neither did Rick.)

It's good to be back home, though. Posters on the Dallas Cowboys forums are, for the most part, utter morons. It's nice to engage in intelligent conversation for a change. (Speaking of which, re the Deckard Debate, "Nyah, nyah, ny-nyah, nyah!")


Respectfully,

Rick's emotional responses were, if anything, less "heavy-duty" than the other replicants. Rachael gets quite disturbed when Deckard reveals the truth about her past, 'gifted' from Tyrell's niece (remember the story about the mama spider?).

Even Roy and Priss show a lot of emotion. "More human than human. That's our motto," brags Tyrell. Even Deckard marvels over his lack of sensation, of emotion, when he retires a skin job. In his encounter with both Leon and R. Batty, he is almost unafraid: pragmatic, yes; scared witless, no.

As to his apparent age, well, all the replicants have an apparent age older than 4 years, c'mon.

The point of 'replicant vs. actual human' is that you cannot tell them apart; as such, in every meaningful way, replicants are humans, soulful, and deserving of being treated with humanity. The movie is a thinly veiled allegory to slavery. De-humanizing the slave allows the master to control or dispose of 'it' as the master wishes.

Deckard is as much a 'slave' to the system as any of the replicants. He serves his masters, and is gifted by them with the illusion of a 'life', a photographically captured past and the illusion of a meaningful future.

To reprise Gaff's comment: It's too bad he won't live, but then again, who does?



Hijacking-ly,

zoid

P.S.
We're all 'replicants', working for the benefit of some dimly perceived master (usually, they're called 'shareholders')... Just not in the same sense as Roy, Priss, Leon, Zhora, Rachael and Rick Deckard were actually replicants.

Yeah, I'd definitely comment out the hardwired address translations in the hosts file, pretty sure Haken has a block of IPs that he can potentially move servers around if he sees the need to. If he does that, you might accidentally bring up some of his other projects instead of fff.net one day...

That's not what I meant, remember Roy almost crying? Then a quick change to not? Like a child (a FOUR year old)- emotions running rampant. Deckard controlls his emotions better because he's used to them; it's not that he feels any less. Therefore I postulate that he's had them much longer than a mere four years precisely because he controlls them so well.

Okay, now I can see where you were going with the remark. And you have a valid point where Roy, Priss, Leon and Zhora are concerned.

I'll confess. I was so reinvigorated by our little exchange last night that I rewatched th DC of Blade Runner. Upon reviewing it, my conclusion that Deckard is a replicant was only confirmed. For while your point of the off-world N-6's is valid, remember that Tyrell said Rachael was different, because of the memory implant...
Quote:

Tyrell: We began to recognize in them a strange obsession. After all, they are emotionally inexperienced, with only a few years in which to store up the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gift them with a past, we create a cushion or a pillow for their emotions, and consequently, we can control them better.
Deckard: Memories! You're talking about memories!


For me, the telling "obsession" is the photographs. Leon left his in the hotel room ("Hotel Untervasser" = Underwater). Rachael presents a handful of photos to Deckard as proof she's "real". Deckard has a piano top full of photos.

Speaking of Rick's piano: He plays. Rachael plays, although she is unsure whether her memories of lessons were implanted or not ("You play beautifully," Deckard replies). It's like standard programming practice. Perhaps, as part of the break-in process for a new Tyrell-designed brain, they put it through the paces of learning the piano (since music ultimately boils down to mathematical relationships)...

And of course the big 'tell': All the replicants -- to include the owl -- have eyes that 'shine' like a dog's. In particular, in the scene in Deckard's kitchen in which Rachael asks if Rick will hunt her down ("No. I owe you one."), her eyes 'shine' as she stares straight ahead. In the background, out-of-focus, we see Deckard's 'eye-shine', too.

Of course, it should be pointed out that the movie and the original P.K.Dick novella bear very little resemblance to one another. I don't think Dick's Deckard was a replicant, for what that's worth. In "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", Deckard is like a particularly flat-footed Gestapo sergeant who hunts down timid Jews in hiding (the replicants). It was really an entirely different story, much more bleak and devoid of hope.
(NB: Although I did like Deckard's pet android sheep that he kept on his rooftop. Kinda like a penance for humanity crashing the global ecosystem.)



Respectfully,

zoid

IMO Zoid, this is the strongest part of your argument, and something I noticed the first time I saw it back in '82. I take it as possible mis-direction, since the 'shine' is never referred to as being a replicant trait (why do Voit-Kamph? Just shine a flashlight in thier eyes), or it could be a wink at the audience to say "Look, they really aren't so different, heh heh".

In the end, I enjoy the ambiguity. Maybe he is one, maybe not. But everyone in the movie is human(as Kirk might say), in any case, and that's what it's all about for me.

Thanks Zoid, this was fun (again!).

Thank you, too, Chris. Like I said, after 6 months on the Dallas Cowboys Forums, intelligent discourse is a welcome breath of fresh air.

It was good to engage in a friendly discussion of my favorite sci-fi movie (with apologies to "Serenity"; but coming second only to "Blade Runner" and Ridley Scott is anything but faint praise, from me). On the other hand, there's no doubt in my mind that Firefly was the best series ever aired on TV -- foreign or domestic -- and that the Serenity pre/sequel would be at least as illustrious as the first movie (presuming we can beat the astronomical odds, once more).

See ya' around the ranch, pardner...



Respectfully,

zoid

P.S.
I apologize (and I'm sure I speak for c'isall) to everyone that our little personal hijacking of the thread might have upset. Forgive us.

...That's part of the attraction of this website: Old correspondents can catch up with each other, pretty much anywhere they'd like, without anyone getting too mad about it. Still, thanks for your forebearance and understanding...
