Schematics for Data (TNG)

My friend is looking for schematics of Data, but is having no luck. Anyone have any ideas where some might be found?

Unfortunately, she probably wouldn't get too much use out it past this semester - she's currently taking a course on Star Trek physics.

I don't think I've ever heard of a schematic of him. I wouldn't mind taking a look if you run across something.

I remember hearing that his brain runs at about 80 teraflops, with something like 80 exabytes of memory. So all we need are the right programs for Blue Gene/L :em321:

Schematics of data? He's a fictional android! Why would there be circuit diagrams of him?
nope.

Look at all the Star Wars books that go into detail on that kinda stuff... :)

Considering that Noonian Soong (Data's creator) and Data are supposedly the only people in the galaxy who ever created a positronic brain, I doubt anyone in this century is gonna sketch one.

I have a book entitled "Physics of Star Trek"

I'll skim through it and if it mentions anything about Data, I'll transcribe it.

I have the same book, also the sequel. Neither mentions Data in any significant way.

Let me get this all straight. You're a starwars nerd on a starwars website looking for the schematics to a fake holographic computer in a sequel to a book from a show about the science of a poorly acted space-drama that has somehow managed to prolong it's death long enough to allow countless die-hard fans to permeate it's pseudo-science fantasy in a university setting of which they're paying 40,000 dollars a year to attend?

Data was an android, not a hologram. If you are going to insult something, atleast get the facts straight.

Okay. I don't think schematics are avalible. But there is Data's disembodied head in a cavern somewhere near San Francisco. It was left there in the 1800s. I bet your friend gets super extra credit if they bring that in.

But you've got to put it back when you're done so that Picard can get his message to the future to [edit: not] fire the phasers at that nest thing. Have to say, I think that was possibly my favourite episode of TNG.

And to all of you who aren't being sarcastic when complaining you can get a course in this - you might not have noticed that it's for an English course. [Seriously, it's getting harder and harder to tell when people are joking around here.]

Good point. Put it back!

And about Star Trek being poorly acted, only the original series was. Patrick Stewart is an awesome actor.

Well look at the differences in the budgets... That right there can account for quite a bit. ;)

Have you even seen the first season? Ha HA. There are so many stupid moments in that season.

Yes I have, and the period of a cast getting used to a role does not equate to bad acting, the later seasons more than made up for it

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with the last bit of your statement. But that doesn't mean that the first season didn't have some really, really bad writing and, at many times, mediocre acting.

I loved the first episode. The best cheesy line from any series ever was "Note in ship's log that at this startime, I am transferring command to the Battle Bridge." *The Turbolift doors close dramatically on the bridge crew...including Dianna Troi, for whatever reason they need the ship's counsellor in the Stardrive section*

I love that. In a manor of speaking, that was the ultraviolence (little bit of gold in anotherwise poor story) of the entire first season. I felt that the first season of TNG tried to be too like TOS, and it was never going to be like it. Seems when they accepted that they were going to be unique, thats when things started to feel right.

I somewhat doubt that a school offering such a course demands $40k a year.
