JACKSON: ...I mean isn't that why we're doing this, all of this? The Stargate program, the budget? Isn't it so we can go and meet new races, gather advanced technology and possibly learn about ourselves in the process?
VALA: Oh, come on! you do it to meet women.
MITCHELL: She has a point, sir.
LANDRY: I've been thinking I need to get out on an offworld mission or two.

sorry, I was thinking of Small Victories. As for any other address, who's to say that Carter had any memorised? Daniel had a hard time keeping track of the first few addresses.JACKSON: ...I mean isn't that why we're doing this, all of this? The Stargate program, the budget?

Also, wasn't the DHD running out of juice? Maybe that had an effect.

Originally posted by Matt GThis isn't a big deal as Jack and Sam were trying to dial out using a DHD. On a DHD, the red button in the middle serves as the seventh symbol. The only reason they needed to find the seventh symbol in the movie was because the Abydonians didn't find their DHD for a while post-movie!sigpic

hmmm... When people dial out with a DHD, we only see six symbols dialed, like in Rising. It's eigther an error, or an interesting feature of DHD's.JACKSON: ...I mean isn't that why we're doing this, all of this? The Stargate program, the budget?

No, even if you don't know where you are you can dial out. Each gate has a unique point of origin symbol, and I stress, symbol. Two symbols may represent the same location for example two gates on the same planet, but the symbol would still be diffrent. So even if you didn't know where you were but you did know what all of the symbols on the DHD look like, you could dial out, simply by finding the one symbol that is not on any other gate, as Carter did in "Solitudes."

I still feel that that is an oversight in design. The stargate should 'know' where it is in the galaxy relative to the other points in galaxy. Granted, the Ancients could have placed it as a security device to ensure use of stargate was limited to those who should be using the gate technology.The very young, do not always do what they are told.

A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
"In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
resentment, and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,
confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion."
A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The elder looked the child in the eye. "The one you feed."
