What software are you planning on using with the Mac? I'm very happy that Digital Performer 4 is supposed to ship today. If it works well or if you use Protools, then you could invest in a Xserver, and save like 3+ spaces in your rig.
The big question is: When Slashdot is going to start using it?
Having had experience with Oracle, MySQL is still lacking a lot of the plush features that Oracle has. But, having run it for about 3+ years on my own slash type sites, the thing is ROCK solid. The feature set in MySQL increases with every version.
Now, look at the costs. Oracle - an Arm, leg, and your children. MySQL - Free. Gee, that is a no brainer.....
Yeah, the funny thing is that there are a LOT of SUVs in my area (SF Bay), and a lot of Hybrid cars as well. The SUVs are the dominant vehicle.
At least there is some trend to get a little more efficent in gas mileage. But still, California backing away from ZERO emission cars (there was a requirement that like 10% or something of new cars be Zero emission in 2005) is not good. Hybrids are better, but we really need a push for Hydrogen.
Perhaps when this Iraq war starts and gas goes to $3 a gallon people will take it seriously.
With Gas prices in my area (SF Bay Area) over $2 ($2.14 at my local station) a gallon for gas, I'm all in favor of moving to a Hydrogen economy. I mean, pollution........H20. Yeah, thats bad. NOT. Cause California is starting to have water worries as well.
I think the biggest problem is that you have these special interest people for Oil that mess things up. Hydrogen sounds so appealing, but......way can't we just "DO IT"???
What about doing a Blake 7 type series? I think that was some of the best SciFi ever. Especially when they finally got rid of Blake and Avon took over. Avon was da man!
I think BattleStar Glactica should be redone in the spirit of the original. One of the things that kept the series interesting was StarBuck. His wit, his cool cigars, his womanizing. I think really I watched it in the 80s cause of StarBuck. I can't see how a female is going to work in that role. Maybe the should make Apollo a female (Apolla or something). That character in the series SUCKED.
I'd really like to see something from the EARLY days of the Federation. Like wars, etc, etc. An Enterprise movie might be good, but I don't think that will happen any time soon. A Voyager movie might be more appealing, yet they wrapped up everything in the series finale.
I could enjoy 2 hours of watching Jeri Ryan and company beating some Borg ass.
I live near it. You can't go on some of the trails around there because of the security. Most all of the stuff is underground. There are a lot of rail road tracks that go down into the ground into bunkers. It is a real creepy place.
Whether or not there was a nuclear explosion, I don't think so. However, that area has always played a very important part of the military in the Bay Area.
If I hear another thing about the retailers suffering I'll vomit. Christmas is not about buying stuff and giving it to other people. It's about family and friends and good times. Why should that entail buying like $1K worth of gifts for everyone?
Why not be nice and give gifts to people who need/deserve them throughout the year?
Why not broadcast something good, like all of Plato's works or something. The linux kernel? I really wonder about some of you geeks.......that is totally a waste of time in my opinion. What's next, the whole BSD Kernel? Windows XP source?
Asimov wrote the first three Foundation novels, took 40 some years off, then tied together his Robot novels, and his Galactic Empire Novels together. I think he was the best.
Too bad no one has ever tried to make some sort of movie or series out of his works....

RTFA moron
Like the article said, we need someone in power to say "We are going to do it".

Imagine what one of these could do in the Nation's Capitol. We'd have enough power to do the whole planet a couple of times over ;-)
And you're starring in it right? ;-)

But no, you can't have a FEMALE Starbuck. He was my favorite character in the original series!!!
But how long until someone with intelligence realizes this?
Seriously, it needs to be redone. We need some sort of bill/legislation/executive order on these stupid patents.

I wish I had some moderation points cause those were funny!
Or in the other hand......a really big butterfly swatter ;-)
Yeah, your right, Highway 4. Coffee had not kicked in yet when I posted earlier.....
Oh, and you can't mod and comment at the same time either.....

No, I think the point is that it is a waste of time. I bet it goes 30 days then they pull the plug on it....

Doesn't Apple have something like this in OS X called Inkwell? Maybe Apple will join the fray in January with a tablet PC.
Yeah, I too am addicted to the show. I hope Fox keeps it going, and if not maybe some other network will pick it up.
Too bad no one has ever tried to make some sort of movie or series out of his works....
There can be only one
