Composite from the final scene on Earth in Battlestar Galactica's 'Revelations' (season 4, episode 10).
Production has stalled due to the writers strike so we may have to wait till 2009 to find out who got there first?
Us or Them?
Thanks goes to ChurchHatesTucker for building the composite.

Just came out after seeing The Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton and Liv Tyler, and it certainly brings back memories from our holiday in Toronto Canada last year.
Culver [Toronto] University, the Bioligy University and more importantly that time when we were walking thru the PATH (Toronto's pedestrian network) and walking onto that so-called 'Critical Incident' set.
I can remember us walking thru those turnstyle doors, American Eagle shopping bags and my fiancee Michelle in-tow, then being presented with that dramatic scene outside. In front of us stood the large dome entrance flanked to the left by a New York fire truck, to our right the NYPD; with the building in front flanked by US Army troops armed to the teeth, guns going off and a director screaming to get us off set.
The blurb was that they were filming a pilot for some new US crime tv series called 'Critical Incident' similar to CSI, in reality after seeing the finished product it was in fact the newly realised Incredible Hulk. The scene in question is where the abomination is created, a real freak of nature and bad medicine and a total headache for our hero Bruce Banner.
One guess which ED it is, and no it's not the horse ;-)
Ok, these aren't the best of shots but it does prove Toronto's one amazing city and home to some of the nicest people; plus it's cheaper to shoot there than NY. So on that note, let's have a stroll around to see what other delights can be seen in the film.
Doubling up as big green's home. Toronto University is an awesome sight to behold and has been used in many other films (Good Will Hunting), the architecture and history embedded within these walls has brought us such things as the first pacemaker, the chemical laser and the extraction of insulin.
It's actually broken up into several blocks and is home to some of the brightest minds on the planet, with regular features in Newsweek.
Strolling thru campus crossing Queens Park, it's such a relaxing place to visit but really needs a good day to explore thoroughly.
If you wander you may see Leslie Nielsen's photo on one of the buildings, he studied at Lorne Greene's Academy of Radio Arts before winning a scholarship to New York.
The huge Robards library is built in the shape of a peacock, and stands 14 story's high; housing rare works and first editions it provides the facilities for young minds to take flight.
Awesome stuff, still can't believe our luck!
After many months of hard work on behalf of the Mozilla corporation, and lots of testing and fixes from so many smarties; Firefox 3 has finally and officially gone gold.
Better standards compliance, security, memory fixes, just tons and tons of new improvements (not to mention the new rendering engine), this one's a goodie.
Go download it now, Ghandi would be proud ;-)
I'm probably wrong and everything, but last night I got an update of Firefox 3 thru the Synaptic package manager on Ubuntu Hardy and now it sort of looks like it's out early.
Any ideas?
To manage your log files better, and to keep old ones available but compressed; Linux provides a tool called LogRotate which can be installed quickly via:
sudo aptitude install logrotate
On a sidenote, you can also use the LOCATE command to find a lost file or whether it's already in the system. LOCATE is much faster than 'FIND' as it pulls it's results off a file cache of the system which is built up over time; however if something is too new it may not find it so you'll have to resort to 'FIND' but that shouldn't happen to many times.
locate app.conf
The result returned is whatever file matches the search criteria, so if there are many files on the system with the same name it will return all the matches; which you could then pipe into a file, like
locate app.conf > finds.txt
Here, any matches returned will be piped and written into the file 'finds.txt' rather than being written to the screen.
Once installed, setup LogRotate by editing it's config file:
sudo nano /etc/logrotate.conf
The example below will rotate 14 days worth of logs, compressing the older logfiles, and creating a new blank log writable by the web server;
/var/www/apps/myapp/log/*.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 14
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
copytruncate
create 0666 www-data www-data
}
Based on an example from [here](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/DeploymentTips ), You'll find more info here too, enjoy.
