Everything on my TV screen is completely flat. It looks like a real world, but it's not. I went to close the blinds and when I saw the TV screen at an eccentric angle, I realised it wasn't 3D at all.
I'm going to give it one more evening, and if it's still flat tomorrow, I'm switching it off.

I think the writing has gotten better. We just powered through season 2 in the past couple weeks, and are all caught up on season 3 as of last night. My wife and I crack up at a lot of the ridiculous lines and interplay between everyone. She has a cousin that Gilfoyle reminds us of.
- the Dinesh and Gilfoyle interactions are bestRamanisky2
- The episode where Dinesh had the gold chain was fucking hilarious.mg33

I was expecting Seth to crash his car into their server garage.
But I'm kind of getting tired of watching them snatch failure from the jaws of victory every other week.

SPOILER ALERT
The last episode was kind of meh, that delete key gimmick would never have been an issue in any kind of semblance of reality. Seriously, hit the delete key and it locks their servers??? how is the delete key deleting files on a remote server while overloading both servers!!?!
I was enjoying the geekiness of the show because so far it felt pretty authentic.
I'm glad Halt and Catch Fire is still holding up!
- Agree. Plus what company doesn't have backups?ETM
- They were FTPing the data so depending on the FTP client being used, they could delete the files on the server if they had permission and no delete confirmationSteveJobs
- I was pretty shocked they took that leap as well, but without extensive use of all the FTP clients and respective settings I was able to suspend my disbelief.SteveJobs
- And ETM, you'd be surprised.SteveJobs
- I know it's somewhat possible with a long series of incredibly stupid mistakes... but a laptop on the kitchen table can lock everyone out? it's inconsistentzarkonite
- with the rest of the story and the characters in general...zarkonite
- The whole idea of a standard FTP transfer at that level for 20 TB of data are just stupid, regardless.ETM
- And much of the deleted data would be recoverable since it wouldn't have been overwritten on media yet.ETM
- And some recoverable with caching via the inevitable CDN's they'd be using.ETM
- etc. :)ETM
- if they were so concerned with having their pants down over a data transfer why was a 20TB HD with test data not couriered over instead?prophetone
- Or 20, 1 TB drives!ETM
- Exactly.prophetone
- its like we have our own silicon valley in heredrgs

I do find the setbacks starting to get tedious. I hope by end of season 2 they are funded properly and moving on. Out of the house.
There are so many challenges in the business lifecycle to explore than stagnating where they are. Things like:
Setting up Customer/Tech Support Channels
Marketing People/Dept/Tarts
Product/Platform Fanboys
IPOYou can do a whole episode b plot about putting together shitty IKEA furniture for the new office space.
- i COMPLETELY disagree i'm afraidprophetone
- ...IKEA furniture is the best!prophetone

It's silly, but it's the only show discussing computers, servers, geeks, startup etc... with over the top personalities.. but I can relate,.
I hope to god they don't develop a love interest for any of the characters.
