I watched that Chinese Mummy movie and GI Joe this weekend. They were both by the same director/producer so they were very similar. It's strange seeing them back to back because the Mummy guy from the first Mummy movie was also in GI Joe starring as Zartan, and Brenden Frasier was also in GI Joe, as Monkey Wrench (I forgot his name). It's like, ok, so the Mummy is in Cobra with Doctor Who, but how come Brenden Frasier doesn't warn GI Joe that Zartan is really the Mummy in disguise? I guess they're saving it for part two; Monkey Wrench is going to fight Zartan, who is disguised as Jonathan Pryce, the British president of the US, and will prove he's really the Mummy disguised as Zartan disguised as the president so that GI Joe blows him up with teh nanomites. I'm not sure what that screwed up Cobra Commander they came up with is going to be doing in part two. He was the most disappointing thing about the movie, and his mask looked like a walrus' ass. I heard they fired the director/producer so someone else is going to be making part two. I hope it's not going to be Michael Bay, McG, or Brett Ratner.

I thought that Chinese Mummy movie was regurgitated garbage (I believe in Hollywood they call it "phoning it in") not worth seeing: 0/10. GI Joe was retarded, but had some interesting stuff in it and you could laugh at its epic levels of stupidity. It was truly a masterpiece of Hollywood retardation, only topped perhaps by Transformers. 6/10.

While I'm at it, I'll mention that I saw that new Star Trek movie too. It was fun, and the cast surprisingly isn't annoying. I get the feeling the franchise is going to get better now that the "reboot" is out of the way. 8/10.

    • My external monitor suddenly isn't working and found out on my device manager that AMD radeon graphics has a "code 43"

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

    • 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.
