Sheep need to say, "Baa!"

As autopope put it:

Meme: Google for the first ten hits on "$YOUR_FIRST_NAME needs" (not that I limited myself to that number, but hey).

*^*^*^*

HAL needs the hotplug SEQNUM from the dev.d/ events.

{geeky enough even i don't fully understand. looks to be programming-related.}

Hal needs some type of strength to make his realization come true.

{yeah, i can buy this.}

Hal needs the help of someone else in order to begin his reformation (almost like a slight nudge from behind).

{please note: nudge, not kick.}

Hal needs to find out two different pieces of information.

{at least.}

Hal needs to figure out a third thing - the quality of the communication that is going on between himself and Vern. "Quality is value to some person." Hal's not getting a lot of value here.

{i think vern's getting needlessly slammed here.}

HAL needs to quickly implement a set of stringent standards and procedures for all (the) bartenders on board the Zaandam.

{how stringent those standards will be probably depends on how many drinks the bartenders give him...}

Hal needs to be logged into a PC there...

{to use semagic and update my lj, if naught else.}

HAL needs interaction to assist in his retraining, so please talk to him.

{pretty please?}

If Hal needs help I can dig a little deeper.

{shovels not included.}

But what of HAL's needs? As we've speculated, he's almost certainly capable of being "influenced by sex appeal," and his electronic eros probably bears the stamp of a separatist upbringing.

{umm... no comment.}

We both agreed that Hal needs to lead an effort to develop a strategic plan for the School that involves the faculty, staff, and students.

{strategic, damnit!}

If the HAL needs to be updated, a pop-up box appears during installation.

{like michael feldman says, innuendo and out the other. "pop-up." followed by "box." snort. on the other hand, note that this elevates me to the class of, "the donald."}

To speak, HAL needs to be visible, so it is best to set him to "Desktop" mode, I guess.

{because "layabout" mode ain't visible enough.}

Though confident of his abilities, Hal's envy of Hotspur suggests he is not completely confident, since Hal needs to compare himself to others.

{hey! i do that a lot less often than some people!}
