  1. Aesthetics and futility aside... on David Brin on "Attack of the Clones" · · Score: 1

    This is what happens when you get a bunch of Phd's at a screening for "just a movie" -- what the rest us normal people simply find enjoyable.

    From the article:

    "Still, the final third of the film could not keep up my hopes for something truly memorable. For example, the whole audience broke out into disbelieving titters when old Yoda -- the green-asbestos oven mitt -- suddenly started flying around the room, whirling a light saber."

    Don't worry David, I'm with you on the mistrust of Yoda theme -- but if you didn't relish that part of the movie maybe you were in the wrong theater; perhaps "the three wives club" would be more to taste?

  2. News? on New Netcomm Smart i Share 56k Modem/Hub/Server · · Score: 1

    I've been installing and using Webramps since ~1997. This has been old technology for quite some time -- and given the list price on this "new" box, I doubt they'll be flying off the shelves :)

  3. Re:Exchange on Sun on When Is Exchange Inappropriate For The Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    It won't natively, but I've got Win2K/Exchange2k running very nicely on a linux box using VMWARE :)

    Of course, the box in question has 640MB of ram, so that probably helps...I dedicated 2 LVD Ultra160 Cheatahs to a W2k mirror specifically for Exchange (running as raw disk access in VMWARE), but am not really sure how much this affects performance. The client response time/webmail performace is great so far, and I've yet to have a crash (uptime ~ 1mo / knock on wood).

    Integrating the W2k box with an otherwise *nix shop (dns, web, sendmail, etc...) was where things got interesting. Unless W2k w/Active Directory gets to manage the primary dns (currently and probably forever on linux), it gets pissy :)

    I say, use the best tool for the job, and being educational, you can't beat ~$400 for exchange server... :)
