A bit surprised about the actors choices. Funny how Edward Norton has a leaning towards shady characters.

It is still bizarre to me that the Bourne continues without Jason Bourne and Matt Damon.

Still, when one thinks about it, Robert Ludlum wrote only three Bournes but Eric van Lustbader, who took over Ludlum, has already wrote 6 more Bournes. I just hope that Bournes are not going to become like James Bonds.

Hmm... Bourne without the Bourne... Interesting twist.

I know what would be an interesting twist, a hollywood film that isn't an attempt to cash in on an existing title, or a remake, or a reboot, or whatever they decide to come up with next as an excuse.

<sigh> I suspect I will watch it though, but I'm not going to the cinema thats for sure

Guys, it's shown and hinted at in the original Bourne movies that Jason Bourne was just the first test subject etc, this isn't a reboot or a new actor taking over the same character, it's more of a side-store/spin-off if you will. I expect that parts of it happen at the same time or a little after the events in the 3rd Bourne story. I haven't gotten around to reading the books yet and I could be wrong but I think Jason Bournes story/arc, is done with the first 3 and books 4 and up move on to other things. If anyones read the later books they could pipe in here if they want, but I don't know if/when the Jason Bourne character comes back, doesn't seem to be in book 4/movie 4 but there's uhh, 9 books so far so who knows?

*Edit* Looks like I was wrong, as far as the novels go Jason is in all of them, heh. It's a bit of a shame but Mat Damon won't do another Bourne movie without the same director, which he's said officially quite a few times. So it seems to studio had no choice but to try and do a spin-off even though they're using the name of the 4th book to do it. Seems the movie and the book will only share names and nothing else.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
