Invasion of the Body Snatchers...1978, Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum and Brooke Adams. Unless you watched the original...that was in 1956 and starred Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynters. Then in 1993 there was a sort of remake, Body Snatchers, starring Gabrielle Anwar and Meg Tilly. I never saw the original or the 1993 one.
Dana
Yah! that was the name. the version i saw had Leonard Nimoy in it.
Yup, he was in it with Donal Sutherland. I think that is the favored version, but I'm not sure.
Dana
The original. Much creepier in B&W. (I'm old school, I know, but I saw the remakes. Not bad, but sometimes the original IS better.)

...I agree.
Morning. Lots of songbirds singing in the day and warm just after dawn :)
"SuperStor" perhaps?

No, that doesn't sound right. It's been a long time, though. I think it was in the 90s. Oh, Oh! I remember...Stacker by Stac Electronics! They actually sued Microsoft over its use of DoubleDrive...there were patent offenses. They won $120Million. Microsoft won a counter suit in the amount of $13Million. Obviously Stac came out on top. Later drive costs came way down and drive capacity went way up, so there was no more need for it.

If you have room in your box, you may be able to recover stuff if you connect it as a secondary drive. It's worth a try. I'm not sure if you're running the same OS now or not. But I think Windows can probably read drives formatted under an older OS, as long as it isn't too much older.
Dana
Or you could get a USB drive enclosure and turn it into a USB drive.
Once you've gotten the data off you could then reformat it and use it to store a second copy of things. Not sure I'd trust a drive that's failed as my only backup but as a second or third copy it shouldn't be an issue.
I actually have one of these (http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Sata-HDD-Docking-Station/dp/B0012Z3MKW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1378334618&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+sata+dock) that I can stick old hard drives in to dump copies of files onto.

Heheh... I can think of a few things to do with $107Million... (-_-)...
... and yes, no need for on-the-fly drive compression any more... although it's surprising the compression algorithms haven't been implemented in hardware yet as a sales gimmick "Use our brand new 8TB SSDs!!!!1!"... then again, I'm sure somebody would try to drop a bunch of JPGs on there, and then find their drive fills up in double-speed (o_O).

As can I...several things.

Sunrise gave way to grey sky and gentle rain, warm enough to almost have evaporated by the time it hits the ground :)
wheee, waiting for DrWHO season6. sigh, iz gonna take a week.
been thinking about sean bean's fate in g-o-t. in the first episode, he did to someone else what happened to him in the end.
There is some kind of ghastly logic at work there but it all seems to unfold real sloooow. BUt I know ppl who can't get enough of it... :lol:
...currently listening to the complete performance of Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony performed by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.
...I'm in heaven right now.
...another work by Mr Messiaen composed in the 1970s. here he uses elemental sounds to enhance the performance once again using a very enlarged percussion section as he did in the Truangalila Symphony. The work was commissioned to celebrate the bicentenary of the United States Declaration of Independence.
the work is titled Des canyons aux etoiles (From the canyons to the stars). In addition to the standard instrumentation he includes a geophone, wind machine, and thunder sheet.
Messiaen was always moved by the environment around him and cited various elements including light, birdsong, non western tradiitons (such as the gamelan and tabla rhythms) as well as stained glass as his influences for his compositions. The work was conceived after his visit to Bryce canyon in Utah.
It may take a bit of thought to grasp but it is an incredibly astounding work. (and it is ninety minutes long).

Yup. I do have some nice ideas, and on a conscious level I'm pretty sure I can pull 'em off, given some time to tinker with 3DCoat. On a subconscious level... well. I hate it when my brain tries to tell me that I'm a failure. I'm not! I can do this! Shut up, stupid parts of brain.
...well guys it's been fun but I feel I may be on the verge of having my forum rights suspended soon. Won't go into the gory details.
Life is hell when you are on a fixed income and try to keep up with a hobby that keeps your sanity intact.
Okay Spyro, try this one:
Well... why not take a day-long break? You know, kick your feet up, cook something delicious from scratch (like cookies!), sample a beer, enjoy a bit of sunshine outside, imagine things you could put together in your virtual playground? I mean, I have been busy all week long, I got guests from Norway for the week, in a now-or-never sort of deal; a friend of mine came over and we agreed about it on last Sunday, so it was a really quick, impulsive sort of deal. And it has been fun! A definite break from normal stuff!
Hey fabulous thx MFM :) Why not weld seams on object export, does it mean something other than welding verts?
<(^_^)... it's not really my work - originally the script was produced by JWAS84 and Duke533... I just cleaned up the material translation stuff to (hopefully) avoid crashing now when using it with newer shaders. I believe that ExportObj() stuff in the middle there was produced by Rob Whisenant (and nobody has been brave enough to touch it since -- "It works, don't fix it" (^_^)h).</p>
I _think_ that option might be equivalent to the "Use Bone Welds" option on the OBJ exporter settings pane... and that appears to be only activated when exporting to Poser (there is, of course, no documentation for the DzObjExporter object...). Hmm... is it worth bringing that param out to the UI? or would it be better to just wait and see if anyone complains about it?

...it's not working on scenes that has me bummed. It's having my (what I t feel are valid) opinions squashed that relate to my future in this hobby.
the way it looks I spent almost 100$ in Carrara content during MM and the last few months and won't get to use it because I cannot afford the .5 upgrade that would let me use my Genesis developed characters.in scenes.
...and besides, it's going to rain like heck for the next two days so no point in going outside.

Without knowing the particulars, I have to say that opinions get squashed here a lot, if they aren't in line with the status quo, if you know what I mean. It's why I don't often declare that opinion anymore. I got tired of being censored.
Dana
Well surely there's something to do indoors too?
How much you're missing from being able to afford the upgrade?
Also would like to know - definitely don't want to see you go.
...yeah I have projects to work on. Just because I'm a little miffed doesn't mean I'm giving up on almost six years of investment in this. You just may have to go to my DA gallery to see it.
MFM Many thanks man!, I will be able to check it later on tonight... but right now I have a blank clean installed Daz 4.6. DIM is busy DL and Installing my new runtime. Has been for many hours now lol - It was long overdue tbh, I had two very messy runtimes, more then half of it was outdated and unassigned from DS 2.5-3.0 days and I deleted over 250 scene files! What delayed me doing all this was; I was naughty and had a third directory to the desktop (I know, I was Stupid) which had everything I customized, such as custom character/prop/clothing textures with all the WIP files and PSD's which severely impacted my PC performance.
So I will indeed test your excellent script, but I literally cant for the time being.
If in the meantime, anyone who uses/knows how to use PP2 Export scripts... MFM has been working very hard to update the PP2 export to allow the export of props using AoA SSS shader and HSS Shader, so if you'd be happy to test it while I cant, I'm sure MFM will be most appreciative :)
Read your PM KK.
@Spyro - heh, no worries! ... basically, it should now crash less - hopefully not at all - for any particular shaders you care to use on the exported object. I've checked it with DAZ Studio Default, UberSurface, UberSurface2, UberHair (just in case), and AoA_Subsurface, as well as in DS-3.1.2 -- it may not necessarily produce anything particularly pretty, but it should still produce something. I'm definitely curious to hear of any crash conditions though (^_^)d.
No probs man, I'll post my findings when DS is up and running again :cheese:
Sounds like the same weather we're having. Spring and Fall have much in common. :)
...got it.
