    Maybe that is what all those ancient texts are referring to … an ancient space faring civilization that was powerful and capable in so many things … and it all hinged on the work of one engineer they named ‘Atlas’ … an ancient ‘O’Brien’

    Maybe in 4,000 years our descendants will talk about how a mythical character held our world together and that we called him ‘O’Brien’

      Getting some weird hardware to work with Linux pales in comparison to what O’Brien had to deal with.

        I like to imagine dozens of empty threads created on Linux forums by Obrien with no comments except his saying:

        Never mind, I fused an EPS relay bypass and wrote some new drivers for the Cardassian micro controller.

        It’ll work as long as nobody takes a sonic shower while replicating an object over 4kg in mass.
