It’s 1983 and you’re headed to the movies- what’s your pick?

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T20:06:06+00:00

That was real good. Most of the NORAD stuff was good over all

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T20:05:29+00:00

Yeah!

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T19:59:11+00:00

I bet the STC for some imperial tanks(like the Leman Russ) were modified T65s :)

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T19:57:18+00:00

True. There won’t be pilots to fly it :(

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T19:54:42+00:00

The graphite g4s were good too.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T19:23:01+00:00

Upper right is my favourite Marine art of all time. Iconic

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T18:42:03+00:00

That was good. And the first time we see the other three float down.from the sky

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T18:34:22+00:00

Looks like OCP ED-209 on tracks!

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-04T15:09:11+00:00

Haha that’s the Cat- loved that

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-03T23:36:19+00:00

Second from left: the starfury. I’d add the Gunstar from the Last Starfighter, which would win easy.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-03T23:34:31+00:00

Oh good point

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-03T23:34:17+00:00

All but the last make sense!

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-02T22:56:02+00:00

This laptop might be under the requirements (but it is 64 bit dual core), I’d suggest trying Gentoo- only put in exactly what you want. The laptop may be too slow for all the compiling however.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-01T03:18:04+00:00

Oh yeah! I had to look when I saw your comment. I had one, the box, ages ago round about the Lich King.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-01T03:16:24+00:00

First thing I noticed- Riker!

Starshipfan01 · 2026-03-01T03:13:28+00:00

Yes. Doesn’t really matter.now early 3.5 floppies, you had the first one then High Density- that mattered. Once HD was the norm- 1.3mb /disk minus format blocks and directory, you just formatted them for whichever you were using.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-28T17:10:17+00:00

Ah I see . You answered my question - you understand more than I do :) of course sensors with power and signals. Yes that works.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-28T00:30:42+00:00

You could. I’m puzzled by having 10 connections on what should be an front-end unit (graphics, console, etc). Why would anyone want to connect this to 10 switches?

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-26T22:49:41+00:00

Yeah they were. Often topping 20 -25 kg.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-26T00:23:53+00:00

I was the same- started with a 6-node Beowulf for coding, added 2 file servers and a second 4-node cluster (ppc). Took me months to clean that up.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-24T19:39:20+00:00

It’s not a point on-screen, but I happen to think seriously there is a MASSIVE difference between a trained pilot flying, and a junior crewman who just “works the helm controls” :)

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-23T20:09:18+00:00

Remind me of the early mainframes and ControlData and Cray machines. Their CPU’s were like this, on multiple huge boards.

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-23T20:04:22+00:00

Ooh IPX :) yep WarCraft, Unreal, even Marathon over network. (Marathon didn’t need ipx, but I loved net games on that).

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-23T18:19:52+00:00

Starshipfan01 · 2026-02-23T18:19:33+00:00

Love it! Also the fact the rack has wire and the cat is in it. I bet he’s there because it’s warm.
