There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans.

1. It details information that is from an older and nearly 2.5 year old revision of the Product. The Current Version is 3.0.x and the relationship of the Linux system and the VMKernel has changed substantially.
2. VMWare licenses the Implimentation of Linux used in ESX from Red Hat, however nowhere is that mentioned in the Article.
The fist mouse I ever bought was a logitech trackman(the thumb one) way back. The style has changed, but its still my mouse of choice and I am constantly fustrated that it doesn't get more loving form stores, or updates from Logitech. It is actually a really great gaming mouse and the current models can be tweaked all to hell for sensitivity and speed/acceleration. I have also found it excellent for any web design work and CAD I have done.
At Home its all about the Desktop since I maintain the hardware and I have to pay the costs of the machine (Desktop hardware is comparitively cheaper and more powerful). This is mostly to support my gaming habit I upgrade the machine every few years in a major over haul it might get one small componet add or swap a year in between overhauls.
At Work My primary machine is a laptop, I have a desktop as well but its only used for very specialized tasks. The Company pays for all the hardware and except for hardware issues for which we have a vendor, I do most of the other machine manintance. I much perfer the laptop for work since I can move it around with me during the day, take it on trips, and bring it home to access the company over VPN.
...have contended for a few years now that if Lucas Arts got off their Ass and re-released these games with updated Graphics for modern computer systems (Hell Make a patch that enables the old versions to work on modern systems and upgrades the Graphics, I'd pay for it) they could make a killing. Bring the look and feel up to day with modern Nvidia and ATI cards they could probably come close to Movie quality visuals. Toss in a few new missions would be nice but not required.
Heck just come out with some new games that leverage the 1,2,3 trilogy. Those Jedi Star Fighters would probably be a blast to fly aorund in.
That was only part of it the original also suffered from "going way out there" at times. It pushed the limits past where some people could bear the strangeness. It was fairly well grounded in the first two seasons, but in the third it went to places that just about (and for some perhaps did) required LSD to get the story to make sense. I had my wife into the show, she is a SCIFI fan of the BSG, Stargate, DR Who, Trek and Star Wars type. FarScape just turned out to be WAY too much for her at times.
It also honestly suffered from the same thing that every SCIFI channel show suffers from, utter lack of programming consistency. What day and time is that on? what months of the year? 13 weeks at a time and its coming back when? What other shows are on with it on SCIFI channel that night? Didn't that other show used to be on before it? after it?
SCIFI channel was doing good for a while they had both StarGates and BSG all on the same night on Fridays. That was great, sit down watch all the good shows, great. Then they moved BSG to Sundays, put something else on not as good, the shows were not even in lock step as far as premiere and finale weeks anymore. SCIFI really needs to get clued in on the whole seasons thing, thats the way most people esspecially the casual watchers that could help improve the overall ratings prefer to watch TV.
Don't even get me started on the "its getting its full run in England before its on in America" thing. Thats a great way to will ratings since the primary audiance are all going to bit torrent it so they can watch it at the same time as there peers on the otherside of the pond so the discussion boards are not a huge spoiler fest.
Luke, loosing a hand runs strong in our family, join your fake and with mine and together we will rule the Galaxy. Well Unless we get to close to a microwave or something then we will just jerk out hands spasmotically.
If I am going to bother to buy one I want the best one available (I guess that marketing might have worked) so I want an elite unit. However there are none to be found. Now I hear they are going to be luanching the Elite in Japan. How about getting the home shores back filled before branching out!
...Ridley Scott confirmed it a few years ago, it was even a story here on Slashdot when it was confirmed. I did a quick search, but the years of Cruft in the database will not bubble it near the top no matter how I do the search.
I am not buying Vista primarily because Nvidia has yest to release actual working drivers with the same performance characteristics as the XP drivers. I play games I need performance, pretty simple. Not Microsoft's fault directly, but still not going that route until I can get the same or better performance.
The other reason I am not buying is the utterly insane price. My OS shouldn't be the second most expensive componenet of the entire system. The only thing in the system I paid more thana the price of a copy of Vista for is the SLI Video Card setup.
I know a band called Calendar Girl...I wonder if it migh be the same band from the Boston Area. Umm...the Album I have has a song called "Two Piece"? They were pretty good a couple of the guys in the band use to work with a friend of mine.
George and the whole Yankee's Organization ruined Baseball, there are so many teams now that have so little conceivable chance of winning the world series that the sports watching public just isn't interested anymore. Its time for a salary cap.
I went a way for a few days, anyway...it would be nice to have a small, dedicated device like the apple TV that I could tell to tap the large drive full of MYTH recordings that I have in the Master server sitting in my basement. I have yet to find a device that is Ideal for this, basically that is made (like the Apple TV) to fit and look like ti belongs in the living room entertainment stack. I could build a PC to be a myth front ebd, but then there is drive noise (yes I could use flash drives), processor cooling noise, ETC that needs to be dealt with never mind spending $300+ on a machine that will be extremely under utilized. I'd love a device that is dedicated (has just enough hardware for the purpose) to act as a MYTH frontend. So there you go, potential untapped market run with it, and I'll be the first customer.
Neither, I just over simplified for the purposes of the conversation a more in depth explaination was not required in my opinion. The point was was trying to make was Call the company that made the equipment because if you do the wrong thing you might be up the creek real quick.

I think you misunderstand the Point I was trying to make about the USE of Red Hat.

Um Wing Commander series are also very good games.
Both of those games were little more than Rail shooters...blah!

Ah that was the word I was searching for in my Post "existentialism"

The original Farscape was a Henson company production.

Or rather Dell is getting a kickback from microsoft that is paying for the upgrade.

...Microsoft has always been pretty strightforward in saying no plugins for the Express products, its not a hidden fact.
So the guys fight is sort of a principle of the thing, be a pest fight. He's pretty clearly in the wrong. Sorry of thats a bad opinion on the matter.
I know a band called Calendar Girl...I wonder if it migh be the same band from the Boston Area. Umm...the Album I have has a song called "Two Piece"? They were pretty good a couple of the guys in the band use to work with a friend of mine.

Until then its not a very useful piece of equipment to me.
