I see alot of people touting there distro lately. But what matters to my boss (and therefor me) is what works, what works well, and how much overhead a system is avoiding. Any distro out of the box should be looked upon as all-for-one generic solution. I would not be caught dead putting an out of the box distro in production. Not even after a few hours customizing it. My point is yeah, I can install and get the latest apache running with one command on Gentoo, but will it be optimized. (No ofcourse I don't mean hardware optimized.) I am talking about for the company network. No its not. I want to install two web-servers, one light-weight, and one with a good number of mod_*s. Though this is one example, what I am trying to say is that any good admin, that doesn't work for a small company hacks and twicks the system so much, that the system doesn't behave like all-for-one solution at all. The distro was the foundation, but even that is changed with a kernel compile and some thread tweaking.
SO what does it really matter. As someone pointed out earlier, most admin's including me turn of any type of version response, (at least on perimeter servers). Anyway I digress.
influence in the US if she found security holes. What is to stop here from keeping some security breaches to herself? I mean wouldn't be more useful to her if she used the information to change the voting stats at her own will. Or better yet, take huge sums of money from a backer of a candidate.
Sure this must be done, I am just thinking about all the possibilities.
Hey Ma, could you buy me some batteries. This way i will able to chat with Jenny in the car with this camera. It sucks that it takes 1 minute per character with that thing. Whoa I am recieving a fax!! Tell dad that by tomorrow will have a beautiful picture of Aunt Rose.
Whats that, the car wont start. Here, put the camera on top of the motor and let it just sit there awhile. Okay now try it.......
Ifyou haven't read the book(s) or at least watched the movie, this is not a good place to start. However, I do not think it was ment to be for someone who has not read the book before.
Things I liked:
Paul: I agree he is kinda of the Luke Skywalker Type, but in the miniseries, he is presented as obviously having flaws. To me this makes him more real. In the movie, he is seen as too perfect.
Duke Lito: I can't remember who plays him, (he is the only American actor i recognized). We get to know more of him and the life he has created for Paul and his house.
Guild: Contrary to most they looked closer to what I pictured when I read the book. They look as if they, at one time, were human. Also the movie showed the actual folding of space.
Cinematography: Hands down awesome. The cinematographer( I forget his name) is great and expensive. He is doing this basically for free. The series was lucky to get him and they wouldnt have unless he himself didnt love the story.
More of Duncan: He was in just a few scenes in the movie eventhough he pays an important role in Dune and in all the other books (he is cloned like 67 times!)
THINGS I didnt Like:
To Bright: Yes the cinematography was spectacular, it was just all too bright. I Liked the dark almost pure industrial look of the movie.
Jessica: Bad acting, When the duke dies, her emotions are pitiful(my humble opinion)
Lack of Voice overs
