Saturday Cliffhanger poll!
posted Saturday, April 22, 2006 - 09:55 AM (#34283)

You've been waiting longer than usual, hanging on that cliff, wondering if anyone would save you. But never fear--your poll has arrived!



POLL: Why did Ursula, the first quantum cowputer, crash?
 
3% (1) Moses came down from Sinai Prime and smashed Ursula to golden calf-bits.
 
7% (2) No one had milked Ursula for 6000 years.
 
7% (2) Ursula's base code hadn't included the new yellow stripes on code monks' Devo hats. That threw everything off.
 
25% (7) While analyzing Butter Dimension 360, found a code made of POISON!
 
17% (5) When you tell programmers that they're divinely commanded to work for free, your system tends to have a few bugs.
 
3% (1) Learned the crushing fact that the April 20, 2006 Thursday Cliffhanger Poll would be late. Noooo!
 
14% (4) Ursula ran windows.
 
21% (6) Salami Prime
28 people have voted in this poll. (This poll is not active.)

Sometimes I really wish we could vote for multiple choices at lower weights. I wanted to vote for three of them. They could each get .333~ votes.

That said, well done. Some of those came at me from nowhere.

Thanks, Mystic! Out of curiosity, which would you have chosen?

Good poll. I'm sure that the spirit of the noble mkinyon approves.

I was torn between Space Moses and divinely unpaid programmers, but ultimately went with the late TCP option.

I do wonder what they mated Ursula with to ultimately create Clara. Though then again, maybe that's actually a question that is best not asked.

Why, thank you! I think that you should do a poll about Clara's lineage. An interesting question. Perhaps best not asked, but how often does that stop the discussion on these boards?

I'm sure that the spirit of the noble mkinyon approves.

Oh dear...that sounds a bit like we should be holding a memorial. The man's just busy, right?

In Response to Spiderbaby (#34294):

I'm inclined to partially agree with your theory, in an abstract way. However, when you pick a specific example (such as goatse), you're probably going to find exceptions, and thus fail to prove your point. What might be right for you might not be right for some... and very much vice versa.

I guess the cause of the crash should've been clear to me... d'oh!
