Babylon 5 - How to Confuse a Vorlon

[blueindigo1000]

Where did this come from?

[mersk100]

@blueindigo1000 It has always been here

[chachieb]

Holy shite! I had this video on my pc back in 2000 wow!

[hack451]

Where the heck is this from? It reminds me of those old novelty video dictionaries on CD-ROM awhile back.... back when they were still called "CD-ROMs".

[PrayForRagnorok]

I miss DOS. After hundreds of hours of frustration and learning, I finally reached a level of computer expertise that ordinary humans never make - kind of like being a techno-mage. Curse you Windows! A pox be upon all your creators!

[cpo2u]

What??? I must have missed this episode of Babylon 5...

[xXCANINEXx]

@cpo2u No it was on a website long long ago.

[LukeSkyscraper]

I remember the days when every card was set up using a bank of jumpers and a manual full of tables which you were screwed if you lost because there was no internet back then. Tracking down IRQ conflicts was a dark art.

[argebarse]

@LukeSkyscraper Those days were fun as hell. I kind of miss the days when using a computer, beyond its most basic functions, was an arcane art. People would think you were a genius just because you knew how to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat.

[hack451]

@LukeSkyscraper Those were dark days indeed, my friend.

[akjorlaug1]

How many centauri does it take to change a light bulb?

Today, only one. However, in the grand old days of the centauri republic thousands of servants....(you know, they never actually finished that entire joke).

[ToolofSociety]

Oh god the old DOS IRQ settings haha

[aleu650]

IRQs !!! and DMAs!!! the good old days !!! and then, in 1995, the fun ended.

 fucking plug and play !!!

[SuperRegic]

What is this?... I don't even.

[Elkarlo77]

For everyone not getting the Joke in it:

Spoiler:

Interrupt Question Setting in a

Direct Operating System Computer ( A Computer with as Clear and direkt language)

[lucius1976]

Actually, most people dont even know what that was. Good old times :-)

[GhostInTheShell29]

I'm happy to get the Beta 12 Joke :p makes me feel like a true fan. That or the comedy of Rebo and Zuti also confuses centaurians very well. Zoot zoot.

[garibaldmichael]

I remember this one (well the full version)

Only one thing can confuse a vorlon: changing an IRQ setting on a dos computer's peripheral.

...

...

well, something like that

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

I must be a Vorlon because I am fucking confused.

[nannakurzhaar]

me too, *lol*

[sulkow82]

@Reason

Back when I was using a MAC LC475 I had a short vid of Lennir saying that only one thing was impossible. It had to do with certain settings on a IBM Windows machine.

I think this was a poorly transferred copy of that video.

[Marta7350]

ROTFL!!!!

[gribae]

Q: "How do you confuse a Centauri?"

A: "Point him to Earth and tell him its Beta 12"

(Any true Babylon 5 fan should get the joke rather quickly.)

[mattbcl]

As a true B5 fan, I think that's terribly funny. ...But does that mean I have to open your wrists now?

[gribae]

Since I'm not a Centauri, opening my wrists, I'd die, so it's probably beter you find someone else to try it on

[minski76]

as long as you don't start pulling out tentacles.....

[Rekoil1234]

@gribae LOL i get it :P

[gribae]

For those wondering, it's, brought up in a discussion between Garibaldi and Londo during the first season, about Earth being a "lost" Centauri colony (before Earth met any of the other races)

[Unionleto]

@gribae

Last lost Centauri colony? :)

[ShadowArtist]

@gribae LMAO

[brav0wing]

@gribae Just a clerical error, yes?

[silver211]

@gribae

hahaha beta 12 thats a good joke it took me full 5sec to get that one

[silver211]

@gribae

hahaha beta 12 thats a good joke it took me full 5sec to get that one

[MythologicalForce1]

@gribae BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I remember that. :P

[JDarach]

@gribae win!

[SiriusMined]

@gribae

It's really Beta 9!!

:-)

[OpenMawProductions]

@SiriusMined What's sad is its actually the other way around. "We thought your world was Beta 9, it was actually beat 12. Okay, i'm sorry. We made a mistake. Here, open my wrists." ... I know, it's pathetic.

[legendarytoyou]

@gribae ROFL!!

[kosh1968]
