The only way to get A/C in the dorms at my school was to have allergies; whole lotta people with fake hay fever, let me tell you. The school I RA'd for, however, had crazy heat/A/C for every room, which, aside from my private bathroom, was the only tolerable thing about that job.

okay i'm watching babylon 5 now i watched the first episode (not the pilot which I heard was awful and i shouldn't watch) first impressions the human characters have terrible stilted dialogue and talk so fast you can't understand them sometimes londo owns g'kar owns 1994 cgi sucks newtonian physics own the music seems to have been made on a casiotone overall solid ripoff of star dreck deep space twelve

Foundation Imaging houses 24 Amiga 2000s, 16 of which serve as dedicated rendering engines. Each of the 16 packs 32 megabytes of RAM, a Fusion 40 accelerator, and a Toaster. All the Amigas share data through a Novell network and offload data to a 12-gigabyte 486 PC file server. Beigle-Bryant's home-brew task manager parcels out rendering work to each of the Amigas in the rack and ensures that no machine sits idle. Thanks to his clever resource management, the rendering time for a frame of "Babylon 5" animation averages 45 minutes, not too much more than that required for the less complex models used in the pilot episode. A true technologist, Beigle-Bryant takes pride in the fact that no machine sits through a day without working. Even the animation workstations double as serious data crunchers when the animators themselves take a break.

This leads me to inquire as to just how eager Foundation Imaging is to invest in new technologies, perhaps PC based, or even to use high-end Silicon Graphics workstations. As forthe PCs, Beigle-Bryant notes that data is data and the network taskmaster could be tweaked to support parallel processing on a network made up of PCs and Amigas. Currently, NewTek's Lightwave software requires a Video Toaster to run; it could conceivably be rewritten to run on any machine. As to whether NewTek has begun such a project, Beigle-Bryant can't comment, but industry scuttlebutt has long predicted a PC-compatible version of the Toaster. So why not a PC Lightwave package? Furthermore, NewTek's very sexy rendering engine, the Screamer--though still living a beta-version existence--promises Silicon Graphics power at a reduced price. This hardware, too, has found a home at Foundation Imaging.

Luigi Thirty posted:londo owns babylon 5 has my two favorite science fiction characters in it, and you've hit them on the head i mean, i love stargate, tng, and ds9, and i love a lot of the characters in them, but londo and g'kar are loving fantastically written and expertly acted their story is genuinely interesting, the hatred between their people palpable. both of them seem like huge assholes at times, but in general you can tell they both just want what's best for their people i'm not going to spoil anything but lando's entire story is so god damned awesome.
