but I took it back before I did anymore work (exam season is quickly approaching and I can't afford to spend my time entering ARs... need to study!)

so much film music is derived from opera and musical theater

uh-oh. the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) are in a pissing match about the negotiations to pre-empt a potential strike, when the SAG contract expires on June 30

BrianFreudf wonders how sympathetic audiences will be, coming so close after the writers strike
FauxFaux much prefers the Team America version. :)
2008-03-02 06251, 2008

BrianFreudf: and actor's strike is the big ugly. producers like spielberg and others have already cancelled *any* movie production that cannot complete filming by April
2008-03-02 06245, 2008
BrianFreudf
yeah, though what happened way back when, when the writer's guild was originally talking about waiting their strike until now, so they and SAG could strike together?
2008-03-02 06227, 2008
BrianFreudf
While I can understand SAG's disagreements, I think there's much less sympathy by the public now, having literally just waited through the entire writer's strike

yes, WGA and SAG were well aligned, but then the director's Guild (DGA) successfully negotiated in January, then WGA apprved contract in February -- with everyone expected to start work early march.

then this contention between SAG/AFTRA, it's already march... to err of the safe side, why start filming only to have to stop in June? if a movie can finish filming in April -- great. otherwise it's bust.
2008-03-02 06203, 2008
yllona
it's not just movies either, several TV shows are at risk, simply because they didn't film an entire season before the WGA strike
2008-03-02 06256, 2008
BrianFreudf
yup. I think, though, at a certain point, it all becomes more and more moot... Even couch potatoes will stop planning for must see TV night, when it's just reruns
one of my drives just puked, so now I'm paranoid and wondering if it's possible to setup a software raid set with a blank drive (as the spare) and an existing drive/partition as the main
2008-03-02 06234, 2008
cooperaa
I guess I'm wondering if I can add an existing partition to a raid set without formatting it
2008-03-02 06238, 2008
ruaok
ick.
2008-03-02 06246, 2008

doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

umm I woke up this morning and my tv show drive was unmounted
2008-03-02 06242, 2008
cooperaa
I looked, and the drive was still connected but it said there was an error and it couldn't repair
2008-03-02 06247, 2008
cooperaa
now it doesn't see the partition
2008-03-02 06248, 2008
ruaok
so a physical drive is not responding?
2008-03-02 06201, 2008
cooperaa
no the drive appears to be fine now, but it is "blank"
2008-03-02 06206, 2008

ok, raid is most certainly not the answer here.
2008-03-02 06214, 2008

does the SMART status in disk utility tell you anything?

the thing is, my music drive is fine, but I would be pretty upset if it ever croaked

just get a backup drive and use timemachine

any last-ditch ideas to restore the partition?
2008-03-02 06204, 2008

cooperaa: if the drive is firewire you can force the drive to mount, i'm sure what the process is in leopard. that way you can recover the files...

how do you force mount a firewire drive?

are you able to run diagnostics on the drive at all? os x disk utilities
