    Nick, like you’re one to talk.

    Sloppy design, Virginia. Wetware should always have a way to disable wireless access, or you run incredible risks of brainjacking. In fact, the wireless should never directly interface – it needs an isolated relay that can be air-gapped at will instantly.

      I’m already dreading “head spam”.

        Apropos to Nick’s comment in the strip itself, I suggest ‘Scrapple-doo’.

        I imagine that Lee’s particular methods involve some manner of quantum entanglement, though, an appropriation of mad science which would be difficult-if-not-impossible for Anasigma to reverse engineer without her assistance…

        And, judging by Mr. Green’s appraisal of Nick, not really worth it in the end when they could use it for so many other purposes.

          As it stands, it’s just an obscure reference to a well-known kid’s cartoon, though. Up there with Nick calling Sweetheart “Baltette,” and maybe others I’ve forgotten.

        And now I’m picturing Nick blurting out advertisements for everything from coats to , , , less savory things at random intervals.

      A real wetware interface is likely to be about as capable of ‘brainjacking’ as a monitor is, if harder to look away from. (And like any other computer, being able to unplug it from the network would do almost nothing to protect it from subversion.)

      For the not-technically-mad science embedded in Nick’s grey matter, it might be an issue.

      Just because he always has it on doesn’t mean that he can’t switch it off.

    A couple of things come to mind. First, has H. T. left the Carbondale Collective or is he still running Greenback’s Hollow from afar?

    And second…Nick follows H. T. on Twitter?

      What better way to know your enemy than to let him tell you every thought he has on a public forum?

      I think the that last line is the most important, and I think that you’re the only one who noticed it.

      If Nick didn’t follow someone like H. T., he might have to read Jonah’s dreary blog in order to find out what was going on.

    If they were really smart, they’d figure out a way to use his yarmulke as a range extender.

      Just because it hasn’t been mentioned doesn’t mean that it hasn’t happened.
      I.e. Maybe his yarmulke IS a range extender.

      Well, it IS parabolic…

        Albeit in the wrong direction.

      While he’s jacked in, he’s jacked in.
