OK Im confused at this point.
I love Blade Runner. I own the directors copy (albeit on VHS, im old). I own "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" on audiocassette, and I thought it was weird and almost completely unrelated to the movie. I would go so far as to say that its not like the movie much at all. I have yet to read another Phillip K dick novel (due, primarily, to laziness) Now youre saying there is a William S Burroughs book NAMED Blade Runner, that they may have gotten the title from? And herion? How does heroin play in? And now I see that Burroughs Blade Runner turned into a movie in '79? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0912652462/002-7997734-1015264 I would love to have been in on the meeting where they pitched this idea. "See, I read this book, and well, this other book, which was a movie a couple years back, and the book, well the books are basically unrelated.....but the title....see and actually I have my own ideas for the story.... with Harrison ford....ok, remember that Burroughs book they turned into a movie in 79 with all the underground doctor heroin! Yeah, like that. But with like, Okinawa, that Japanese paper folding crap....and well add voiceovers so its comprehensible! Bring more cocaine!" The 80's. A strange time. That was my bit of crappy HST prose for the decade. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of michael dolan Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 3:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [brlug-general] OT: Trailer for "A Scanner Darkly" now available Did you mean is it recommended reading? If so, the answer is no, I just bought it because that's where the title of the movie came from, I'm a dork and I thought it was cool. William S. Burroughs did a lot of heroin, and I think the book may have come from that. He was a cool guy, and some of his books are good, but that's not one of them.

Maybe I'm just not hanging around with the right people. Then you have to tell them he wrote Blade Runner, and they are interrested, but then you mention Total Recall, Paycheck, Imposter, Screamers, and Minority Report. They lose interest pretty fast. You might have "do androids dream..." but do you have a copy of william s burroughs "blade runner: a movie"? I picked a first edition up a few years ago in a used book store (caliban's if anyone remembers). Michael You got me there.

Still planning on trying Adam's original post, as he seems to have done it successfully with almost the exam same hardware. Will keep the list updated whenever I get around to it.

I saw some other suggestions. Another idea: Can you install Win2k on the new volume and then restore the old set via a backup? Yes, PERC's are fun.

The old volume is slow and crunchy and generally frightening. I was wondering if anyone knew of a relatively painless way to migrate that set over to another disk set of different sized disks, OS and all. The problem is it's a win2k box that was set up before I got here and both OS and data are mixed on the volume. It's a webserver hosting multiple domains and would generally be a pain to migrate. I know this isn't really a linux question but I was wondering if anyone had solved this before (not theoretically, but actually done it) BTW, If I put the new disks into the box with the old ones and create a new volume, it tanks after 6-8 hours or so (yay for PERC raid controllers..... hip hip....not so much?) Is there a way to maybe boot into a liveCD and dd the thing over the network to a file on another box and swap em out? Thoughts?
