I really enjoyed the Stargate SG1 season 7 finale, Where the 37 Motherships and hundreds of Al'kesh (Medium range bombers) of Anubis' fleet enters Earth's atmosphere. Towards the end of the episode, Earth's mainline defense, the Prometheus and a fleet of X302 fighters do about a 5 minute battle. First to defend a small Cargo vessel above an Ancient outpost in Antarctica and later when the X303 (Prometheus) attack's Anubis' motherships. It's a pretty well done attack scene. I can't say I like the matrix like squiddies that O'Neil calls out from the Ancient's outpost, but It's still pretty good space battle scene. Bests most B5 scense I recall.
Call me a karma whore, I don't care. But this is a much better description of the laser engraving system I installed. Universal Laser Systems is the company. Model M-300. Very neat.
I just finished setting up an E size 5 axis 50 watt CO2 laser cutter in an awards shop.
What was especially neat about the laser was it's based on plotter technology. We had the creator of the laser system there to do the installation and walk-through. He stuck a 5 watt laser inplace of the pen plotter on an old roland pen plotter, hacked together a driver to control to laser pulses and mirror heads. very neat system.
I've been especially wowed by some of the flash work at heavy.com even if I actually like some of the material they parody. Its well put together and a bandwidth hog.
another would be snarg.net for its uniqueness and total lack of conformity to any consistency.. Its amazing it actually pulls it off.. congrats to the author (i can't remember his name)..
I used a AMD 486dx4/120Mhz registering a mere 60 bogomips with two tulip ethernet cards tossing packets around for nearly 6 months. The machine ran flawlessly with 40mb EDO ram, and had consistant uptimes of months (upgrades, and misc).
Now I've upgraded to a AMD K6-233Mhz with 128mb EDO, and have been using it as a workstation, hosting dynamic websites on cable. redirecting quake servers inside the LAN and other neat stuff. I just got a dual celeron 366 setup, and will be playing with it.
Migrating my existing system to it, can't wait to play in 1k bogomips. Should be interesting.
