"The trailer is quite impressive, though I'm still very doubtful about how it will turn out. I was pleased however, that it contained one of the best lines from the book (give or take a word):
Behind this mask is not flesh, but an idea. And ideas are bullet-proof."
Didn't Batman Begins use this line as well (or something quite close)?

I've been managing, building, and servicing RAID setups for 10 years now and never see the kind of stuff you describe. That might be because the RAIDs I set up are SCSI, SSA, or FC. IBM RAID solutions just dont seem to suffer all the failures you talk about. Only things I have ever had happen was drives go bad and loss of a controler. Not once did any of these failures result in the loss of the entire raid array, or corruption of data. I'm not saying it cant happen, but it seems people are not maing good choices of hardware for RAID. All our external RAID setups use dual loop dual controller setups. Internal SCSI can not do this.
My comparisons to windows are due to most people being familiar with windows.
Ad for installers, Ecomstations is IMO better then any I have seen even in Linus. YAST2 is the closest I have seen.
And where do you think JFS2 and LVM came from, the ones IBM gave to Linux were written on OS2 from the ground up and then ported (also ported to AIX as JFS2).

"1. RAID implementations on most consumer-grade motherboards (EIDE RAID with Promise controllers on-board, and so on) are cheezy. I've tried using them for several years now, and I ran into lots of unexplainable "glitches" that never occured when I took RAID out of the equation. (EG. The RAID array would suddenly report a failed drive, yet when I'd pull the drive out and try reformatting/reusing it on another machine as a stand-alone C: drive, it would have no problems at all and S.M.A.R.T. reported it was fine too.)"
I bought a KT7A-RAID when it came out (been something like 3-4 yers now I think) and it uses a Highpoint chip. I have never encountered any issues with the RAID config, I have used it for RAID0, RAID 1, and both.
Thats because the fucktards at MicroSoft (read on for why I consider them fucktards) have deemed all RAID levels above 0 as server only features.
So for my desktop OS if I dont have a hardware RAID card outside of the OS, the only choice I get from MicroSoft even using the so called "Professional" editions of Windows is Raid 0. If I want better RIAD I have to use a server edition for the desktop.
I have stopped hoping RAID in MicroSoft OS would go anywhere so I stopped buying Windows after the last time I sunk much $$ into a full version of Windows 2K Pro.
I think you should sue him for using the word "moron". Unless he can prove that you are a moron he has made a big mistake. Since he can't prove it, he wilfully and with intent used that word. I believe there is a law against that kind of thing should one wish to take stuff that far.
I worked in a small computer shop at the time and we were selling P-120s (the 133 came out one month before, but I dont remember when you could actually buy one) at the time win95 came out.
It's true. As I remember I think one of the foreign releases of the film has those scenes in color, or he shot em in color and filtered it out for the final cut(sic).
It's been so long however that I cant remember clearly.
The important point at the end of the god damn day is that no one will fucking see the fucking in normal non modified (by action replay, save game editor, or editing config files) gameplay EVER!!!1*
Why to producers of alcohol, cars, knives or hammers get off in your list? Are they somehow morally superior?
If I go buy a claw hammer from Home depot and then use it to kill my wife or you, how is either home depot or whoever made the hammer at all responsible? If my kid goes over to a friend's house and kills some other kid with his friends hammer how is the hardware store and maker of the hammer responsible? Did they make hammers too attractive to kids because of fisher price play tool sets?
If I get a prescription for opiate based painkillers and I abuse them, how is the manufacturer or pharmacy responsible for my actions? What if my kid gets into my or someone else's medicine cabinet and abuses prescription medication? Are the drug store and the maker of the drug somehow magically responsible?
It seems to be what you are advocating in relation to video games.
For fucks sake, the game is fucking rated M (Mature under 17 not admitted, yada yada). If someone gets fucking bent out of shape because their fucking 9-14 year old is fucking playing it, it is their fucking responsibility for fucking not being a fucking responsible parent, end of fucking story.
The game store and Rockstar are not like Camel in it's "lets market directly to children so they can get hooked on our killer drug delivery system at an early age" method of marketing.
Sweet Zombie Jesus I cant understand how you people go all "It's not parents fault they cant spend 1 second in a lifetime raising the fruit of their loins" and expect to be taken even slightly seriously. Do you know how stupid it sounds?

Electronics Boutique and Gamestop often have games locked in glass cases behind the counter.
I thought Eternal Darkness was rather dark.
Depends on whose viewpoint you look at the situation from.
That was just a rip off of Macross Plus IMO.
I thought Marilyn Manson had that bottled up.

You mean asta la vista is not strictly used be security pros?
Look at what CMHC Systems has to offer.
You are quite out of date.
OS/2 got LVM and JFS, no need for HPFS unless you like it.
Check out the features of current OS/2 and ecomstation.
Surge was awesome, 3 cans of that and you could phase through solid objuects like The Flash due to how fast your molicules were vibrating.
Wow, when you decide to be wrong you really make sure to be wrong.
Ecomstation is the current supported OS/2 and it's had plenty of fixed since it's release.
What version and when?
IF it was for a month or so back when Warp (version 3) came out, a whole lot changed over the years.
Well, it currently has LVM and JFS. Something I think rocks.
The installer for Ecomstation is much nicer then any Windows installer I have used.
It had a good (for built in) set of productivity programs.
So far it has better then WMP multimedia support and kick as multitasking.
Check out Ecomstation and see where OS/2 is today instead of going on what it was ten years ago.
Ecomstation (latest OS/2) ships with LVM and JFS available.
Current OS/2 has LVM and JFS2, it totally rocks IMO. I use those in AIX all the time.
Yes, and the OS/2 version was ported to AIX and called JFS2.
As someone who works with AIX I have to say JFS2 rocks big time.
