Actually, they did air it last year when they were prepping everyone for the new series. In about a week's time, they showed the original series and then the disaster that was Battlestar 1980. I think that they were showing 4-5 episodes a morning.
It showed me a couple of things that I didn't remember as a kid. One, how campy the show was. Two, how short the series was. Three, how early Jane Seymour gets wacked off. Four, no matter how bad BSG was, BS1980 eclipsed it expotentially.
we don't know what is going to be supported in the next version of OSX.
However, in addition to bootcap, Parallels is already in the works with an operational beta which takes advantage of the virutalization properties of the new Intel chips.
I have got to think that vmware is working on a product as well. Ironically, VirtualPC (Microsoft) are the ones who are dragging their feet at this point.
That is probably true. However, I would imagine that those same departments are pretty anal about all software and hardware that they use. In fact, I would not be surprised if a lot of it is developed in house by the NSA or DOD.
I agree. I do C&A work for the government. Systems which have zero impact on national security have to conform to NIST guidelines. The fact that none of this was in the contract and not implemented is pretty bad...

We had the exact same experience. We had very good luck with their workstations and notebooks. I loved my Dell C640.
With that, they convinced our boss to try their new servers, switching us from HP/Compaq. That was a big mistake. The reliability was not there, the support was not there, and the enterprise maintenance was not there.
Then they tried to get us to try their switch line. We pretty much laughed in their face with that one. However, I did run a pair of Dell PowerApp.BigIP boxes for three years without a single hiccup. They were the best servers/appliances I have ever had to setup and maintain.
Yeah, but the funny thing is you cannot at this point. At least when I talked to the Veritas Rep six months ago...
When it is all seemless and integrated, then I will start paying attention..:)
I have always maintained that the only reason Veritas exists is to make up for shortcomings in Sun's volume management and file systems.
IBM has had a LVM since the early to mid 90s.
Linux has one now.
If Sun had bothered to keep up the Jones on these little things, Veritas could possible have never become what they are.
Last I heard, they were going to start offering VXVM and VVM on AIX. My AIX admins did not care. They figured why would they spend the money for the product when they already have a usable system that is supported by the OEM.
Well, if you look at those little throw back video games from Atari and such, that is exactly what they are doing. They have everything contained in the joystick. You just hook it up to a tv.
I had an idea like that when I was a freshman in college. However, building a trackball of that size is pretty impracticle.
I wonder if you could build something out of a flexible rubber material that could be stretched across the top, but has some slack underneath?? Kinda like a giant uninflated balloon..
Yes, the overall leader was determine, some would say, several days ago. However, this year, there was a break away group that led for several laps upto 35 secs. This is much different than usual where everyone sits back and then at the final moment lets the sprinters dual it out. But, I am not a biking expert, just what I have seen, heard, and read.
I loved Word 5.1. It ran on my Mac SE w/ 4MB of RAM beautifully. It was a very efficient processor. However, I do have to say it was a pain in the butt to do anything complex such as columns. It was then wysiwyg whenever you did a complex action. Newer versions have no problems with that. However, they tend to be resource hogs to say the least.
The other reason it was so great was because Word/Office 6.0 was so horrible. It was one of the worst programs that I have ever seen. My understanding of the whole thing was that it was a port from the Windows version. So, they did a lot of funky things to not have to rewrite parts of it. It was really bad. I rememeber trying to run it off a central server like they recommended... Scary... And then trying to run it off the local machines in a student computing lab... Not fun..
Agreed, I would imagine that snoop has been around for a long time...
However, yesterday, I was doing network smtp sniffing for some email problems. I was running snoop on my solaris servers and tcpdump on my firewalls. I forgot that I have to specify both hosts with tcpdump as oppossed to just the one of the hosts with snoop. Only got half of the smtp conversation. Doh!
Unfortunately, I didn't discover it until I went to go analyze it in ethereal.

Actually, at this point, I don't know if there is anything in Epcot that I would consider futuristic. Everything in this particular display can be bought currently. Of course, since it is all top of the line stuff, you will pay up the nose, till it becomes popular enough that the price will come down.
For example, they have a HD Plasma equipped Jacuzzi spa. I am guessing that it is at least $20k. Probably closer to $30k.:)

I recently got back from Disney World. At Epcot, in Innoventions, they have a "home of the future" tour. Most of the stuff is fluff stuff that if you read sites like slashdot, you would already know about. However, one of the interesting things they show is a plumbing system that takes the hot water going down the drain of your shower and uses it to heat new water going into the shower. I think that she said something like 30% efficiency.
Then they would probably get sued by Terry Brooks!:) He has a witch (not a magician) character that is named Nightshade in the "Kingdom for Sale" series.
Linux is based on a new concept that many people don't understand. The right to freely use and change and redistribute doesn't make the Cooperate heads comfortable.
How do you explain the fact that bind and sendmail have been in existence since the early 80s driving the Internet. I would imagine even today, those programs touch more traffic on the Internet than everything else combined.

Which I believe are the Woodcrests.
Woodcrests - Server.
Conroe - Desktop.
Merom - Portables.

That is incorrect. Checkpoint is in use by the US government.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney makes a play at getting Steve Jobs as the next president of the company.

On another note, Lance won again. It was actually a pretty riveting end to the Tour de France.

But, my bigger problem was the fact that tcpdump only takes the first 68 bytes of the packet... That drove me nuts...
As soon as I put -s 2000 in my command line, I was getting the results that I expected.
Well, when I pulled it up in Ethereal, I only got the return traffic... Unless I did something else wrong. But, I don't think so..
