Battlestar Galactica Creator Glen A. Larson Dead At 77 186

schwit1 writes Glen A. Larson, the wildly successful television writer-producer whose enviable track record includes 'Six Million Dollar Man', Quincy M.E., Magnum, P.I., Battlestar Galactica, Knight Rider and The Fall Guy, has died. He was 77. From the article: Battlestar Galactica lasted just one season on ABC from 1978-79, yet the show had an astronomical impact. Starring Lorne Greene and Richard Hatch as leaders of a homeless fleet wandering through space, featuring special effects supervised by Star Wars’ John Dykstra and influenced by Larson’s Mormon beliefs, Battlestar premiered as a top 10 show and finished the year in the top 25. But it was axed after 24 episodes because, Larson said, each episode cost “well over” $1 million.

What good are server components when they aren't in a server chassis?

They are good for having many cores for the multi-threaded applications the MacPro is built for. I'm pretty sure server components perform exactly the same regardless of the chassis.

The Mac Pro is marketed as a "workstation", but it's basically a mid-range desktop.

LOL. Oh please do link me some of those "mid-range desktops" using Xeons, ECC memory and FirePro GPUs. I won't hold my breath, though.
