Guardians 2 Bringing Back This Key Side Character http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Guardians-2-Bringing-Back-Key-Side-Character-83557.html

In addition to the main players from Guardians of the Galaxy (Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot, and Rocket) returning for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, several key supporting players will also be coming back, like Nebula and Yondu. Now there's another important character that will be returning for another round of intergalactic shenanigans. Don't lie, you know you've been waiting to hear about whether this guy would be popping his head in or not. Well, it's official: Kraglin is returning. C'mon, you know who I'm talking about!After his brother, director James Gunn, teased it several months back, Sean Gunn recently appeared on The Nerdist to announce that he will reprise his role as Yondu's second-in-command in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. As he put it:

Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 Will Bring Back The Film's Most Eccentric Character http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Guar...Back-Film-Most-Eccentric-Character-87037.html

Aside from the five core characters, it's difficult to gauge who will be back for Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. James Gunn said that we haven't seen the last of Nebula (Karen Gillan), but what about Thanos (Josh Brolin), Yondu (Michael Rooker), or even Howard the Duck? As we inch closer to the start of production, it seems as though one major character will be joining the intergalactic band of superhero misfits once again: The Collector. If Zoe Saldana can be believed, then Benicio Del Toro will return for the Marvel sequel. The actress who plays the deadliest assassin in the galaxy, Gamora, posted a video to Facebook with her husband Marco. If you speak Spanish, then you'll be able to watch the video no problem. For the rest of us, Saldana is praising Sicario and Del Toro's performance in the film. She ends the video by exclaiming, "I'll see you on Guardians." Watch the video below.

Thor: Ragnarok May Introduce Marvel's Latest Female Superhero https://www.yahoo.com/movies/s/thor-ragnarok-may-introduce-marvel-134400899.html

We're less than two years out from Thor: Ragnarok, which on Marvel time means we're starting to get the first rumors of what the movie's actually about. (Besides Ragnarok, obviously.) Devin Faraci at Birth.Movies.Death. reports that the film will take the form of "a cosmic road trip" with Thor and the Hulk, which may explain the latter's absence from Civil War. Despite that comic-sounding premise and the choice of Flight of the Conchords' Taika Waititi as director, Faraci's sources say the script is "so serious, so dark," though every successive Marvel movie has been pitched as darker than the last, so as always, who knows?

Thor 3 Details: Hulk, Valkyrie, and a Story That's Too Dark http://screenrant.com/thor-3-story-details-valkyrie-hulk/

Marvel Studios may have found its Thor: Ragnarok helmer in actor-director Taika Waititi as we reported earlier this month but now we're learning why Marvel is seeking someone with comedy chops to helm the third Thor adventure. As it turns out, Thor: Ragnarok's script is too dark.Both Thor and Thor: The Dark World are some of the lightest and comedic films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and given the weaknesses of the story and villain of the sequel, a change in direction and tone is something the next movie – about the "end of all things" no less – really could use. But not so for Marvel Studios' revamped leadership.Earlier today we reported the rumor that Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner a.k.a. Hulk would be returning in Phase 3 before the next Avengers movie, and that it could be in Thor 3. Confirming that news with their own source, BMD reports that this is indeed the case. They also add that the Thor: Ragnarok screenplay by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle is too dark, hence why Waititi was brought in to direct and tweak the picture. Another writer may join the creative team too to lighten it up to fit the Marvel formula.

Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 Casts Newcomer Pom Klementieff http://news.yahoo.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-2-casts-newcomer-pom-005707606.html

It looks as though 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' has found its first new cast member… as newcomer Pom Klementieff joins the upcoming Marvel sequel.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 29-year-old French-Canadian actress has signed up for the upcoming 'Guardians' sequel."Relative unknown Pom Klementieff has nabbed one of the new key roles in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy 2," they reveal. "James Gunn is also back as director and writer for the follow-up, which has a release date of May 5, 2017."Pom Klementieff has mostly worked in French cinema, with a respectable string of French films under her belt. But she's perhaps best known for the role of Haeng-Bok in Spike Lee's recent remake of Japanese revenge-thriller, 'Oldboy'.

For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.

I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.

What is so fantabulous about the Windows UI? By many accounts, it has been going downhill since Windows 7.

There are Linux desktops that offer Windows or Mac UIs, yet you don't hear much chatter about them outside of questions about when the creators might get sued.

Because it's what I prefer. I know I've said this a few times, I use Open Shell to give me the cascading start menu a la WIN 95 and NT4.0. The only reason I went from Windows Vista to 7 back in the day was because of Classic Shell. I cannot stand anything other than the OG start menu from 30+ years ago. I'm using ExplorerPatcher to give me Windows 10 UI elements of the taskbar and right click context menus.

If you could take a look at how I set up Windows 95, you'd find many similarities to how I use 11.

I could probably use that as a starting point, but I don't like the full size icons. If you have to click on each folder that's also a no-go for me, it has to be cascading.

I used to have Peppermint Linux in a VM, that was about as close as I could get to recreating a Windows NT4.0 style of menu structure, but I could never get it to scale properly in VMWare on a 4K display and eventually gave up.

Whatever the boot up time it's fine with me. The longest part of my bootup is the HP SureStart BIOS integrity check. Once that is done, it's only a few more seconds. I haven't done this reg tweak yet since the reformat, but I switched the bootup animation to the Windows 10 style spinning circle of dots, and it's two and a half rotations. I can live with that.

I hope you don't believe that makes it wonderful (especially when you're using workarounds for Microsoft's malfeasance).

I use LibreOffice as opposed to Microsoft office (even in Windows) because it's UI is like the Office of old, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is (in a manner of speaking). The ribbon was one of the worst ideas to come out Redmond.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

New Apple TV 4K released, plus other Apple Home devices.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.

At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

Apple TV 4K

Apple TV 4K. New Siri AI and hands-free control. Stunning picture and immersive HomePod surround sound. Works with your Apple and smart home devices.

Not a bit. IMO, Apple's are slow to boot up. Time is about the same with 1st gen and 3rd. Roku runs rings around them in that department. I only reason I stuck, is the Apple infrastructure, which has it's definite advantages. But $300 is a deal breaker. Later, Apple!

24 team playoff seems to be real close.

Are we really that far from a 64-team tournament?

The benefit of the 24 team playoff:

All the cartel teams that cartels want in playoff are in playoff
- Independent of record too! Bonus.
MONEY!!!!! for the cartels.
I'm out of ideas.

Cons

Regular season really doesn't matter now other than the rivalry games
- Top cartel teams can lose three games and still make the playoff
Going to start resting players?
- The playoff is going to be *checks notes* several games!
- Resting players could make games dumb.
- Maybe even restrict NIL players from games played.
How much are streaming sub costs going up a month to pay for this?!

One of the pro's I see is in a year with so many undefeated teams they have a good chance of an opening. Few years back you had lower divisions that didnt get a shot. I love collage football and I have no problem with that addition.

We are in what week 5 now? Been two real good ranked games to watch.....Other than that top 25 teams are playing nothing.

It would be different if it was a game that you could play 2 or games each week, but when you only play 1 game a week, the larger playoff is Not a good thing ...

The season has how many games now, is it 14 ... then you want to play another 5 (with more to come) against Top 12 (eventually 24 teams) ... remember, the 5 games in the playoffs will be the hardest games all year and back to back.

For example, IF Ohio State should win it all this year ... they play 5 teams in the Top 25, plus they would play 5 more to win it all, depending on how the ranking shake out and if Bye weeks are given.

Thats 10 Ranked teams ... in one year ...
I don't see that happening very often ...
Edit, Bama plays 4, Georgia plays 3, But Ole Miss plays 5 (didn't expect to see that)

That said, I don't see the Buckeyes winning it all this year.

Seeing theres very little activity in the MLB threads, it wouldn't matter if I posted that the Astros didn't make the Playoffs ...

Theres more NFL info in the Pub section than in the Sports/NFL thread.

IF they go to 24 teams, and it looks like they will soon ....
Do we Really want Teams with 3 and 4 losses in the Playoffs ?
Is a 3-4 Loss team one thats able to win 4-5 more games against Top teams ?
