Titolo: J.T. Kirk meets Intel

Ho trovato questa cosa veramente
da ROTFL su 
www.theinquirer.net
 :-)
All' Intel Developer Forum 2002, i tipi della Intel
hanno invitato come ospite pure William Shatner
(per la serie: Se Microsoft ha preso Piccard noi
  prendiamo Kirk).
Ora, la percentuale di trekkie tra gli sviluppatori
e' piu alta della media, ma qualcuno in Intel
ha pensato bene di mettere insieme William Shatner
(che per sua stessa ammissione non capisce niente di
  tecnologia) con Pat Gelsinger (uno dei boss di
  Intel, che poco sa di Star Trek) senza prepararli
adeguatamente a quello che li aspettava
(trekkie che viaggiano sul lato tagliente dell' high-tech
  e giornalisti leggermente bastardi dentro).
Ed il risultato e' stato quel che segue. :-)

Titolo: Captain Kirk meets Intel in quest to understand toilets
Sottotitolo: It's life Jim, but not as we know it.
By Mike Magee in San Jose: Thursday 12 September 2002, 19:29
WILLIAM SHATNER also known as Captain James T Kirk of the
Star Ship Enterprise had the assembled army of hackdom
in stitches in a Q&A following Pat Gelsinger's keynote
earlier today.
The first question, from a mischievous European reporter, asked
Pat Gelsinger what his favourite Star Trek episode was, which
slightly floored the chief technology officer of Intel, but he
and Shatner worked out that it was called City on the Edge of
Forever, one of 17 Star Trek episodes dealing with time travel.
That led Shatner to reveal that once, when an episode called
for him to use a futuristic weapon, he just picked up a camera
tripod and held it so the three legs were pointing like a
triple barrel, something, which he said, no one had ever
picked up on.
He was asked about the episode where he encountered silicon
based life on a distant planet and said that the closest
he'd ever come to meeting such a form in reality
was Pat Gelsinger.
He's written a book in his attempt to understand technology
and science. That led him to comment that he'd sat down for
the keynote and was completely baffled by the subject.
"You guys speak a different language," he said. "I don't
understand what you're talking about. In fact, he said, he
didn't understand any technology at all, but wanted to.
When the plumber came to his house, for example, he wanted
to know as much as the plumber.
He said: "How does the toilet really work. I don't know.
There are other forces at work. Who invented the toilet, and
what gave him the idea?"
In the course of writing the book, he had talked to
Ray Kurzweil, the father of voice recognition technology.
While he was dictating a sentence something like "I have
just talked to Ray Kurzweil," the speech recognition engine
translated Ray Kurzweil to Pakapakapaka.
He said he asked Ray what he should do about that and Kurzweil
said, "Just say delete". But when he said delete, it didn't
delete Pakapakapaka but just pasted delete after it.
So he said delete again and now there were two.
He said: "It [voice recognition software] can't even spell
the name of the person who invented it."
"None of this shit works," he said.

Fatemi capi'... questo non capisce una ceppa di tecnologia e ci scrive un
libro sopra? :-|

Si, ed ha pure prodotto una serie di fantascienza (Tekwar) che sembra
