The "Talk Like Data" Thread

Post Reply New Topic

In fact, the number stated ended 0.23 and not 0.24 as was stated. An understandable error.
My databanks have recorded that many humans prefer not to hear all 7 digits, although I am unable to understand the basis on which such inaccuracy is considered normal or acceptable.

The estimate was based on a series of criteria I have observed using all available postings from the user identified as Serissa, comparing those to other postings where the user admitting writing a post to "catch" someone out either as a joke or game and then summised the chances of this post doing the same.

I would be happy to disclose the full equation but I have a period of sustained system downtime approaching that I cannot delay any further.

I was told by renaeden that I'm the only person that uses 'big words' coherently in a sentence, much like Data would... Just yesterday I used elucidate correctly in a sentence... And also say Indeed quite alot... I don't need to speak like Data, I'm his brother Lore!

((It stood to reason that I can not be Data because I have emotions, therefore I must be Lore, close to Data in everyway but possessing of emotions... and evil )

I don't care of they're aliens; what kind of parents name their kid Data? Who uses a plural for a name? Would you name your kid Herberts? No, it's ridiculous.


This post hits soooooo many levels of nerdiness, even I've lost count.

According to my information, Data did not have parents. He was, in fact, created by Dr. Nooninen Soong. His so called mother, in fact, may not have been an alien, but an android also created by Dr. Soong to replace the human Juliana Tainer, who died. It is unclear at what point this event occurred, as I am having difficulty accessing my TNG files at the moment. However, the summary data suggests that she was created after his departure from the laboratory of Dr. Soong. If she had been created prior to his departure, he would doubtless have discovered her android nature shortly after their initial encounter.

Intriguing....

Thank you, eyeenteepee, for acknowledging that my deviation from the correct "Data-speak" was likely unintentional. I would like to inquire about something I have been wondering about you for a a significant period of time (I do not know the exact number of days as my memory banks seems to have a flaw): Are you an introverted person who uses intuition over sensing, thinks more than feels, and percieves rather than judges?

Serissa, you are quite correct. Of the numerous personality testing profiles possible from the internet, including the Enneagram test, Keirsey Temperament Sorter, Kingdomality test and the lesser known and particularly specific Half Hedgehog, Half Peacock Sign Painter test, the Myers-Brigg test produced the most intriguing results for myself.

As you have accurately deduced, my result indicated a personality conforming to a profile of 100% Introverted, 12% Intuitive, 75% Thinking and 11% Perceiving.

I have noticed a lot of humans giving great importance to the dynamics of their personalities, therefore I believe there may be some purpose in sharing this data with others.

After some consideration, I deem it likely that I am indulging in the audio-visual entertainment programme "Star Trek- The Next Generation" on an all too frequent basis. Strange does not appear to be a sufficiently strong adjective for my ease of utilising "data-speak".

If strange is not a sufficiently stong adjective to describe Data-speak, perhaps I could suggest a few words. "Bizarre" would be one possibility, or perhaps "demented." The latter is a hyperbole but perhaps you desire hyperbole?

Hello Captain. The second in command and I are planning to wind a spliff, embibe some couvassier, and listen to some 20th century Master P with counselor Troy on Holodeck. Would you care to join us?

Curious. If I understand correctly, you intend to become intoxicated and listen to music. I do not understand the necessity of the holodeck in this case. Would it not be more efficient to engage in this activity in your quarters, where you may be more comfortable becoming unconscious?

Could not the group, including the counselor, meet in sufficiently large quarters? I assume this process of "getting s---faced" involves behaviors which might be construed as embarrassing if witnessed by other members of the crew. In this case it would be prudent to engage in the behavior in the most private setting possible.

I am intrigued by the idea of inducing a state of intoxication in counselor Troi. As far as I can tell, most of the members of the crew consider her to be quite attractive. I do not understand how becoming s---faced will make her more attractive. I also do not understand how a pick up line would be useful in the case of more powerful empathic abilities. If the counselor could sense the intention of certain crew members and agreed with their intention, there would be no need for intoxication. If she disagreed with their intention, how would a state of intoxication mitigate her disagreement?

No one has explained the need for the holodeck.

The replicators can provide beverages at any temperature specified.
One can adjust the temperature of the local environment with a request.
I do not understand the use of the holodeck to cool anything.
There is an alternate definition in my database but it is not comprehensible as I do not understand why something popular would be kept at a lower temperature than something less popular. Perhaps for preservation?

How does intoxication alter the appearance for the better? My assumption would be that the blurred vision common to intoxicated states would alter the appearance of other objects in the environment for the worse. I cannot think of any case in which this would be an improvement.

Can you explain?
