Time travel is just like threads: parallel universes with parallel space and time exist and they work fine when not needing any interaction with anything but themselves. There are no critical sections in space and time.

If the threads interact without proper synchronization then a mess will happen, probabbly a dead lock.

Thus, the 4th panel is the deadlock (Grandfather’s Paradox) as it does not seem that the universe has somekind of critical section objects

So Ubuntu does turn you into a Robotic Alien Zombie from the friggin` future! Good to know.

Best strip so far in my opinion :D Until some time in the future, when another strip from the past will have surpassed it of course.

wait, Boris is a Robotic Alien Zhttp://start.ubuntu.com/9.04/ombie from the friggin’ future? Is that why he’s so good? He already knows what code he is going to type so he types it much faster, and since he knows the bugs that will come he fixes them from the get go? Then the real question is, why did he really come to work for the company? Is there a sinster plot bubbling in the background? (<>)

Hmmm … ALIEN ROBOTIC ZOMBIES FROM THE FRIGGINâ€™ FUTURE. That sounds pretty cool, although robotic zombies wouldn’t work – the basic point of zombies is that you could become one of them.
Oh wait fuck! Thats actually what the Borg are! Dude, you’re describing the Borg. They are robotic, zombies, alien and from time to time, do time travels.

Hmmm … Borg … Bor … Bori … Boris! Awww c’mon!

@zoid, one could argue that zombies are more plausible than time travel. Plus, I wanna have more meshup movies. We have:

- Robots
- Aliens
- Zombies
- Time travelers

The only combinations I know about are time traveling robots (Terminator) and alien robots (Transformers).

Why don’t we have alien robots from the future? Or alien zombies? Or zombies from the future? OR ALIEN ROBOTIC ZOMBIES FROM THE FRIGGIN’ FUTURE???

I am quite positive, that “official canon” is: you can’t fucking go back in time!
However, nice Terminator rip-off :)
Time travel (to the past) is like zombies: Although impossible, it is what the best stories are made of.

Keep on the good stuff Salvatore!

As this seems to be a Terminator reference, I should point out: Alternate and concurrent timelines are official canon. So both happen, it just depends on which one you want to follow.

Did you notice that there’s exactly three 3-dimensional objects in the frames? (except the fourth panel)
