Out of curiosity, what about a person who has decided to take up worshipping members of the Grrek pantheon? Is that not a thousands of year old religion? What about Hindus (technically pagans to christians) who claim their scripture was given over 5000 years ago?
"The pSeries virtualization on the 590s and 570s is pretty amazing. You can dynamically add/remove processors and memory and has (most importantly) some very good monitoring tools. But it's expensive for the power you get."
You can do DLPAR on any p5 machine, lowest I have worked with is a 520, but I think the 505 can as well.
One minor drawback to running Linux partitions is that you can not change memory dynamically, so make sure you size any Linux LPARs with some overhead when you set them up, because if you under allocate you have to bring it down to change it.
A running LPAR isn't entirely a virtual machine if you gave it any more then virtual Ethernet and SCSI adapters. Add to this to have virtual SCSI you need a virtual IO server partition to server it up.
There is no easy way to detangle everything and move just an entirely virtualized lpar to another box, because you have to bring your IO server as well, and that IO server may well be serving several different partitions their storage.
The way to do what has been described is to set up 2 lpars on different machines and a shared storage array. Then you use HACMP to handle things. This assumes your application can handle it. I seem to remember that fail over with no loss of running apps was mind bogglingly expensive.
The regatta I saw stuff wasn't virtualization IMO. It was hardware Logical Partitioning, and until AIX 5.2 you couldn't even dynamically allocate stuff without bouncing the nodes. This meant to move the single CD-ROM to another node it had to be removed from the first, added to the second and the nodes bounced under AIX 5.1.
The pSeries (power5 and 5+) is where we got good Logical Partitioning and virtual devices. You need AIX 5.3 to get SMP and to be able to do all the cool tricks. The above hardware is also where you get micro partitioning, the only way to dedicate anything but entire physical processors at a time.
Virtual IO servers can only be partitions on power5 systems, and thats the only way you can claim to have a truly "virtual" logical partition, as each one needs a minimum of 1 disk controller and 1 network card to bring the partition on-line.
The nice thing is that on a power5 system when you have more then 1 partition (what used to be called full system partition on the regatta) you can give them all virtual NICs and let all internal traffic go on these as the virtual Ethernet adapters are monstrously fast, much faster then gigabit Ethernet cards.

They made Big Sky Trooper for the SNES. One of the best logo/intro bits I can remember from a game.
Taken from Mobygames: "On day an alien race of slugs is out patrolling space, when they encounter the Lucasarts logo. The logo, as we all know looks like a statue of a person with his hands extending towards the sky. Seeing this logo, the slugs determine that ours is a race made up of BONES and of ADVERTISING, two things the slugs simply hate. So they attack."
This was not a problem in the Space Quest series because each death "window" had a different set of texts and pictures to go with it, so you wanted to die to see them but also wanted to save often because you might die.
This is a good gamer survival skill. I remember when I was playing FFVII for the first time and had just defeated the first Weapon and was tooling around in the airship. I see some small red thing in the desert and swoop down to check it out. Lost 4 hours of game play because I hadn't bothered to save.

Magic Carpet series was mad fun multiplayer mayhem at the time.
Why miss a company that insisted on brutally destroying the games and expecting us to thank them for it?
They were off my list of companies to care about back when I was playing Turbo Duo (PC Engine) and buying new stuff as it came out. I made the mistake of buying Exile III (was fun gameplay wise) but the fun ended with a cut scene where the bad voice acted demon attempts to insult the player with the phrase "Poopy-boy". If I had wanted games aimed at the 5 year old maturity level, I would have bought Night Trap.
I had the misfortune of hearing Lunar when my roommate bought a Sega CD. Same crap quality VA (most likely the janitorial staff) and to add insult to injury stupid pop culture references to things like toothpaste brands and Mr. T (and that was a dated reference even then).
The only good thing is they didn't license Vanilla Ice to do a totally re-imagined soundtrack.
Last I heard as they were going out of business they finally thought they might try no screwing up the games. I do know the big problem for them was Sony not liking 2d stuff being brought out in the US and probably everywhere outside of Japan.
"and at least 100 million(and counting) to not be a "failure" compared to the PS2."
Isn't that a bit unfair considering a significant number of that 100 million are replacement consoles?
I mean there are not 100 million unique ps2 owners out there. Some people had gone through 5-6 (this is not normal) but I know many who are on their second or third.
I's say if the PS3 can do 30-50 (low haigh depending on your view) million it has caught up with the PS2 for usable numbers. Maybe after 5 years you can look at how poor manufacturing/design at sony makes the PS3 (not saying it will, just going by the poor designs of the 13 version of PS2) sell more or less then the PS2 at the end of it's lifespan.
I had a root canal/crown job back in December 1997 and one again in December 2005. Major advances had been made in the technology to clear out the root area as well as for creating the crown. X-rays went from film to digital.
Sure it's not like I'm bionic and can chew through iron bars, but the latter experiance was much faster and enjoyable.
Kill Bill... I seem to remember an animated bit in the film with a guy fucking a kid before she kills him.
So how in your above thread of ideas is it a legal film. Every viewer is now party to a thoughtcrime (as you maintain) and should be locked up.

I wish that as well. Right now the only way to see them is find torrents. And I have never seen a torrent of season 3.
The only way to not get things "right" was to stay in the bathroom untill after the cop notices the body.
No matter how badly you cover up for yourself, the game continues as long as you get out of there. Things later on are affected by what you did to cover up the "crime".
I dislike The Sco Group for a number of reasons including this legal farce.
When did the stock hit $50 due to claims in relation to this case? I remember it hitting $26 or so , but then it dropped and I dont remember it going higher.
The only time I remember SCO stock getting to $50 was during the tech bubble and back then if I remember correctly wasnt it still The The Santa Cruz Operation?
