Okay, well the pants were weird. I get that complaint, but did they really like the short skirts better?
We were wearing short shorts back then, and they weren't much longer than those worn by the Star Trek women. But then, we weren't working on a Starship occupied by men. I wouldn't care if they wore a skirt, I just think it's tacky that whatever these undergarments are, they're visible at times when they shouldn't be and it doesn't look good. There aren't many ways to get up from a fall, and having to worry about what's showing doesn't make it easier. I noticed McGiver tugging at hers a bit when she was seated.

It would be consistent with the rest of the poor security we've commented about.
Lol, I was about to say that something along that line should be blocked by the computer and only useful to those with the appropriate access, but you're right. It seems anyone can do almost anything using those computers. In some ways, it's no different than using youtube and ebay, at least according to the guys who've put together equipment for genetic experimentation.
On a side note, I am really amazed at what you can find on youtube. My daughter has a doll, My Child, that we got for her in the 80s. I put the doll away, and while I was cleaning the attic this past spring, it fell out of a box onto the floor. The doll wasn't in bad shape. She needed some minor skin tightening, and work to correct a wobbly neck. So I decided to take on the project of restoring her. I found tutorials for everything I needed on youtube. In addition to that, there are forums dedicated to these dolls, and there were a lot of people who were happy to provide helpful information. Needless to say, it all worked worked, including make up and hairstyle for the doll. With the help of ebay for new clothes and shoes, the doll was restored to her former glory and my daughter was delighted. So I suppose it's not a stretch to ask the computer for a knock out drug.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
