The Rolling Stones - Get Off Of My Cloud
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
I says, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby
The telephone is ringing,
I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it ther on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine
He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?"
I says, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this,
And decided to take a drive downtown.
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen
I says, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud.

I am a frequent visitor to slashdot and also an avid supporter of anonymous free speech online. However I noticed something VERY ODD regarding slashdot. I use ad-aware on my Windows XP system, and it found the double click cookie. Here is a summery of the doubleclick SPYWARE cookie from pest patrol:
===
A spyware cookie. Cookie is used to track unique visitors to many different sites, and their "preferences."
Online ad company DoubleClick used Web bugs that could communicate with cookies from its Web site. The cookies then revealed past online behavior, even home addresses, IP addresses, and phone numbers to the bugs, and the bugs sent that information straight back to DoubleClick.
A company can also use the bugs to tie cookie histories to personal identifying information, such as your phone number and address. In fact, a California woman sued DoubleClick for just that behavior. The company bought another firm, Abacus Direct, which holds detailed consumer profiles on more than 90 percent of U.S. households. DoubleClick cross-referenced its spyware results with that database to compile surprisingly personal profiles
===
As one can see double click is a DANGEROUS piece of spyware, which totally removes privacy and hijacks ones computer and all it's information. After I removed the doubleclick TROJAN from my otherwise secure and updated winXP pc I went to slashdot and noticed I WAS LOGGED OUT. Slashdot also uses SECRET 1 pixel gifs in it's advertising system.
The only answer is that slashdot is WORKING WITH DOUBLECLICK's spyware software and selling millions of personal profiles of its users to fund it's OTHERWISE UNPROFITABLE business. I find this to be detestable and immoral behavior especially for a site that claims it supports peoples RIGHTS TO PRIVACY. My only course of action is to use other linux resource sites and to make sure slashdot.org is BLACKLISTED as a spyware-installing

The problem with Linux is that it's an open source system, so if you are having issues or difficulties with its stability, it's like pushing on a rope; there's no single vendor to deal with.
Funny, I thought the open source thing was the best part! Go figure.
Don't overlook the last sentence of the story - that Labrie has since left the company.
:-)
Could someone possibly go on to "bigger and better" things after that?
When I read LOTR many years ago, when computers were hard to come by and certainly not used for frivolity such as generating fairy tales, I had no trouble whatsoever "seeing" Gollum and all the other characters just from the textual descriptions.
Does all this computing power mean we've advanced?
"The problem with Linux is that it's an open source system, so if you are having issues or difficulties with its stability, it's like pushing on a rope; there's no single vendor to deal with. You have to be self-deterministic in terms of how things work. You have to make your own choices and do your own tests on motherboards, graphics cards, applications, operating system releases, all those kinds of things."
Call up any vendor. Tell them their systems are unstable out of the box. Think they're gonna say something like, "oh, yeah, just tweak this little setting...". I don't think the quote above is very logical; no vendor is going to be that helpful with stability issues. Maybe "stability issues" was just a poor choice of words?

What the hell? With the amount of money they're spending on this system they can't call Redhat, IBM, or HP? IBM and HP are already shipping them the workstations.
Give me a break, pick one and run with it - testing motherboards? That's why you have vendors
Little Rob Malda was the pride and joy of his parents, being an only child. After Rob was born his mother couldn't have anymore children. Rob was always treated like royalty. So when his parents were going to be going out of town, he was shocked to find out that his parents were not going to let him stay at home by himself. "Rob, you are only 15 years old, you cannot stay home by yourself". and that was all they had to say, he knew that there was no way of winning this argument. He had been expecting to throw a big party while they were away, but now all plans were completely crushed! "Your uncle will be here at around 5, and we will be leaving at 5:30. we left the number to the hotel on the refrigerator". Well at least it wasn't too bad, Uncle Jon Katz was always really cool, he has always been my favorite!. Later on that night we started to make dinner. My uncle was an amazing chef. he could make a meal out of anything. I had always wondered why Uncle Jon never married or had any children. I decided to ask him. "Uncle Jon, why don't you have any children, or a wife?". "well to tell you the truth Rob, i actually never plan on getting married, or having children". He told me how he was content with how his life was now, and he didn't want to change anything. So thinking nothing of it, I decided to go up to my room and listen to some music. I heard my uncle walking up the stairs, he went into the bathroom, which was right beside my room. I heard him yelling for me about 15 minutes later. He asked me to grab him a wash cloth and a towel, he forgot to grab them. I knocked on the door, and he told me to come on in. I walked in the door and placed the wash cloth and towel on the sink next to the shower. I turned my head with no preconceived ideas. I could see my uncles body through the frosted glass of the shower. at one point his body came very close to the glass, and i could almost make out the details of his well built body. He asked me to hand him the wash cloth, and as he reached his arm out of the sliding glass door of the shower, i could see that his head was covered with shampoo, and his eyes were closed so he wouldn't get any in his eyes. This was my chance to get a real view! With the sliding door slid part way open, i walked up quietly so he wouldn't know how close i was to the shower. I maneuvered my head to the side and just below his arm so that could see his huge cock hanging between his legs! I couldn't believe what i was doing! I had never felt such emotions in my life! I was startled as my uncle asked again "Rob, are you still there, can you hand me the wash cloth?" I said nervously " sure unc!, here ya go". I quickly handed him the wash cloth and walked out of the bathroom. I went into my room and layed down onto my bed. I started thinking about what i had just seen. My uncles cock hanging between his legs, water dripping from it. I started to become erect, I couldn't believe it. I started to play with myself as i thought of that big piece of meat. I heard the water cut off as my uncle was obviously finished with his shower. A few minutes later i heard a knock on my door, i quickly covered myself with my blanket, as i had still been playing with myself." come in!" I said nervously. My uncle walked into the room, all i could think about was what was hanging between his legs. he asked me if i had a minute. I told him sure, and he walked into my room and sat down on the bed next to me. My cock was going crazy!! Here my uncle was sitting on my bed, an amazing body, and all he had on was a towel!!! a thin piece of cloth separating me from his wonderful dick! I asked him what he wanted to talk about. His response startled me! He asked me if i got a good look of him while he was in the shower. My heart started to pound uncontrollably!! I asked him what he was talking about. He told me that he happened to open his eyes for a minute while i was in there. He saw me looking through the crack of the sliding door on the shower. He told me not too worry. He said that he completely understands. That i was just curious. He told me how he used to look at his older brothers when he was younger. He pulled his leg up and i could see the very tip of his cock sliding out from under his towel he had around his waist. I was getting really hot. I asked him if i could see it again. he said that i could as long as i didn't tell anyone. I agreed and he proceeded to pull his towel off of his waist. My heart literally skipped a beat as i saw it jump! I reached my hand out and started to feel it. It started to grow with amazing speed! I couldn't believe how big it was getting, i thought that it would never stop growing! I started to cup his huge balls as I stroked his massive cock. He started to moan very loudly. I asked him if he would bend over so i could get a better look at his ass. He agreed and he bend over with his ass staring me right in the face! I started to rub his sphincter, as he moaned with pleasure i did it more vigorously. I pushed my face forward and stuck my tongue out. I started to lick his ass like i had never licked anything before. He tasted so good. I started to yank on his meat as i invaded his rectum with my hot moist tongue. I started licking up and down his ass crack. I loved it! Before i knew it i had my tongue in his rectum eating him like a pro! Then he stood up, and grabbed me, he flung me over onto my stomach and pulled my shorts off. I struggled a bit, but i couldn't move under his huge muscled arms. He told me he was going to fuck me, He said he was going to make me moan! I was afraid, His dick was way too big, there would be no way he could fit that thing in my ass. I told him to stop, but he ensured me that i would love it. He spit in his hand and rubbed it onto the tip of his cock, then he started to finger my asshole, The sensation was amazing, i loved feeling his finger inside me, then there were two fingers. He told me to relax, if i relaxed then it wouldn't hurt. So i tried to relax as much as i could. I then felt the tip of his penis at my rectum. I felt a chill, and then with a thrust of his hips, the tip of it slid right in. I gasped as it went into my ass. I told him to pull out, it hurt so badly!! He told me to calm down. that the pain would go away if i just relaxed. So i buried my face deep into my pillow! The pain was not going away. Then after a couple of minutes he started to push in further, the pain was immense, but i found that the lust that i had inside of me was taking over. I started to enjoy it, the pain started to subside. I just gave in and told him to fuck me like a bitch! He started to pump faster and faster, he pulled out of my ass after about 10 minutes and grabbed me with his huge arms, he flipped me once more, back onto my back facing upwards at him, he stuck his cock right in my face and started to stroke it really fast and hard, His nuts started to jerk, and his face turned red!, all of a sudden he let out a loud moan, he began to cum all over my chest and my face. He told me to open my mouth. I did as he said, and he shot load after load of hot salty cum into my mouth. He stuck his ass over my dick and began to grind me. I could feel his course ass hair rubbing my cock. it felt amazing. He started grinding harder and harder. his asshole was rubbing right up against my cock. I reached my hand under his ass and rammed my finger in his ass. as i did that I had the biggest orgasm i had ever had in my life! I shot load after load of cum all over his ball sack, and the entrance to his rectum. He told me that I made a mess, and now it was time to clean it up. He brought his ass right up to my face and told me to clean it up with my tongue. I happily lapped um my creamy seed from his ass and balls. his dick was rock hard again, and as i licked his ass he shot his load one more time! all over my face. My face was completely covered with my uncles creamy hot spunk!! he stood up and told me to go take a shower. I couldnt believe what happened!! I got into the shower and was reflecting on what had just happened, I was in complete aww. I noticed that i had forgotten to grab a wash cloth. " Hey uncle, can you grab me a wash cloth!".
This story looks like a good excuse for me to share a little elation I have about Databases that are Free Software.
I've been a Database Administrator and Linux zealot for about 7 years now, and it always got under my skin that there are no good production-quality databases for Linux.
Then, a couple years back, Oracle, Sybase, IBM, and a few other giants made their RDBMSs available for Linux. So I upped the ante, and started complaining that there were no good Free Software databases that were production-quality for Linux.
Then, about nine months ago in New Zealand I started talking to a consultant who told me he'd successfully migrated a few clients off of Oracle onto Postgres. At the time, I was incredulous, because I'd previously reviewed Postgres and found it unsuitable for production systems.
Turns out, my information was outdated (things change FAST in the OSS arena).
Since then, I've been slowly, carefully, calmly trying to see if Postgres (and incidentally, MySQL) were ready for production databases.
Turns out, the answer is pretty much YES for Postgres and, sorry folks, still NO for MySQL.
Postgres is an amazing product. The version I'm running, which is fairly recent at 7.2.1 can create databases based on Oracle-complexity DDL, has good recoverability, stored procedures and triggers, and pretty much everything you'd expect in a full-fledged RDBMS.
They even have a few of those extra bits that aren't necessary but that some DBAs and DB developers like, such as a built-in language (PG/SQL I believe they call it) and ability to write stored procedures in esoteric and strange languages.
I've found their query tool (psql) to be the second-most powerful and useful query tool I've ever used (SQSH being the first).
Amazing product, this Postgres 7.2.1. And from reading the database administrators' mailing list, it's pretty obvious that there are some fairly large-size shops migrating from Oracle to Postgres or even just using Postgres as their main RDBMS.

Overall, the article was a good read. But, I must point to the following observation..
..."
"... The problem with Linux is that it's an open source system, so if you are having issues or difficulties with its stability, it's like pushing on a rope; there's no single vendor to deal with.
The very next paragraph...
"Weta had just taken delivery of 25 Linux workstations from IBM and Labrie reported that IBM and Hewlett Packard were the frontrunners for additional Linux workstation upgrades."
Alright, so... what am I missing here? You've got IBM behind your efforts. Whats the problem?
Perhaps the comment was referring to specific pieces of software, although my experience has been that dealing with a group of open developers is far more useful than dealing with a single inept vendor. When the vendor is full of crap, where else can you turn?
The first paragraph I mentioned continues...
"You have to be self-deterministic in terms of how things work. You have to make your own choices and do your own tests on motherboards, graphics cards, applications, operating system releases, all those kinds of things."
Again, I'm not buying this comment either... afterall, you have IBM behind you! Don't they test the motherboards, graphics cards, operating system releases, and all those kind of things?
Obviously Linux has been a good solution for them because they're using it. They're having success with it, and its saving them loads of $$ versus using an alternative proprietary system.

Interesting bits include managing an off-site database of 45TBs, Linux workstations from IBM, 1400 processors, and the animation methods to be used on Gollum. It's a good thing. :)
A precious thing, one might say...
For modelling and rendering? Is it the standard Maya + Renderman combo? Or something proprietary?
There's 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
There's more than enough incongruities with the "article", but that's not what bugged me the most. That whole site was just a big ad. Ads were upon ads. And you then have that "News" block at the bottom. I started to think it was a porno ad or "viatamin" ad. It had that "Buy Now" type of lettering.
Point: Dont know if I quite trust these people for "news sources". Looks more like ad hell.
I'm amazed in this day in age, they are having a problem with asset management/tracking. Although it's underplayed in the interview, it seems as though the Informix Media 360 was a complete bust.
I can't imagine it was beyond their programmers prowess to create plug-ins or custom scripts that could save the media to a server under some GUID of a filename, and insert a row into a table someplace with the meta-data for that asset. A homegrown content management system is really simple with todays scripting/filesystems/XML. Hell you could throw out the database insert, and just write a filename.xml in the same directory, then harvest the information later.
I'm amazed they stumbled on this, and even more amazed they payed for the Informix product (didn't IBM buy them, and drop that product anyhow?).
Also, is it just me or does it seem like this CTO was 'released' at an odd time?

All the diffrent items in its subject lead me to beleive this was a slashback and not a new peice. DAMN YOU, OPPRESSORS!
sorry, I just couldn't resist.
Those storage arrays are really fun to play with. If you want to see what they are using for storage arrays check out LSI Storage Systems. StorageTek might sell them, but the good people over at LSI Storage Systems make the things. They are all fiberchannel harddrives, normally around 50GB each. Depending on what is needed by the customer we have 10k and 15kRPM drives that can go in. Everything is hotswappable, and I mean everything. They have some really good transfer rates (I want to say around 850MB/sec when benchmarked). And are pretty with all the flashing lights on them.
But don't think about getting any for home, the controllers alone cost as much as a family sedan.
Its not what it is, its something else.
i was really happy with the first movie...
even though all of the bombadil saga was pulled out.. etc...
but i guess they cant leave it all in since it'd take about a solid day to play the full thing...
i cant wait to see the two towers... i havnt seen anything with treebeard... anyone heard anything?
i'm also kind of curious on how much crunch power the fellowship took compared to the two towers...

The owners of this cesspool of a site expect us to pay to be exposed to spyware? Gee, do they think we'd like some radiation exposure to go with that as well?
Idiots.
One statement of evidence is all that is required when running a DB in these situations: Hot Backup!
PostgreSQL absolutely has Hot Backup. It is called pg_backup.... Sheesh, ever read a manual?
What's the contact information for the LoTR crew? We need to suggest they switch to FreeBSD for better performance and stability.
It seems like Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those! is taking over first post. It seems to be mentioned in almost every story with any tech angle at least.
Heroscape, it's like legos combined with anachronistic wargames.
Have we broken the 2GB [or whatever] file size limitation yet ? I wonder how can one realistically want to store huge files on a modern Linux filesystem. I'm not up-to-date with the latest advances in this area, does anyone have more info ?
You can find a pretty good comparison of SapDB with other Open Source Databases in http://www.geocities.com/mailsoftware42/db/
You would think the studios have already learned their lesson from the Jar Jar and Scooby Doo atrocities. :sighs:
The problem with Linux is that it's an open source system, so if you are having issues or difficulties with its stability, it's like pushing on a rope; there's no single vendor to deal with. Like they wouldn't have stability problems with any other system, dealing "single vendor" does not equal stability.
People who have witty things here blow.
It's less than five months before release now. And they still don't know how they're going to do Gollum? Motion capture or key-animation.
Does anyone else see a problem with this.
Clearly they are not the only digital animation shop on the planet. So others that switch to Linux will face the same problems. And I know of a few in London that do switch to Linux.
So if they and all the others would give back what they fixed and developed, the investment would suddenly shrink and everybody would gain.
But then most studios are afraid to disclose what they are doing and how. For the simple reason that technology is one of the key parts of creating a good digital animation. So if everybody has got the receipe, they'd loose their advantage in the competition against all the other hundreds of shops.

How are things in the civilized world? You probably don't know who I am. That's
;).
okay. I'm here to inform you of my mission, what I've found, and what I hope to
teach all of you.
I work for the United Christians Food for Poor Kids Foundation, and let me tell
you, there's a lot of poor kids in Afghanistan. As in most countries in the
Middle East, most people are unemployed, and therefore poor. And where there's a
lot of poor people, UCFPKF is needed.
UCFPKF always has the latest in technology. In this instance, we had access to
some Pentium 4's(r) 2GHz. Obviously, we needed an operating system that could
handle the power of Intel's beast. Unfortunately, we didn't have any computer
experts on hand up to the task, so it was going to be trial and error.
We'd heard good things about Linux and its "ACL's". Little did we know of its
incompatibility with modern hardware. It didn't even support Token Ring
networking, the newest form of Ethernet(r), which we require to always keep
in contact between bases. Also, it didn't seem to use SSE optimizations, which
when processing food amounts, are also very important. Also, there were
homo-erotic implications in the structure of Linux, which is strictly
unallowable in a Christian organization such as ours.
The next obvious step was to install Windows. We hesitated because we knew that
it was common knowledge that Windows crashed incessantly. Our experience was
less than stellar. It also didn't support Token Ring networking. Security is
important in this region because many people try to steal food, but "Windows
2000" (which I hear didn't even come out in 2000) doesn't even allow you to
have seperate permissions. Once again, the SSE optimizations were not used.
I was in a situation that seemed impossible. The two most famous operating
systems had failed me. I walked around the base in a dazed stupor. What was I
going to do for our ultra-important network? A boy saw me pouting and sighing,
and asked me what was wrong. I said nothing, but we exchanged names, and little
did I know, that young Junis had a gift for computers.
Junis saw me the next day, slaving away at the sparse terminal that "Windows
2000" makes you type in. He asked what I was doing with that primitive OS. I
laughed and told him that I was doing inventory. He ran to his village, into his
hut, and pulled out a box I had never seen before. The box said "SCO Xenix" the
front. I had never seen or heard of this Xenix before. But I soon learned that
Junis was a computer genius.
All we had to do was put the Xenix CD into the computer, and everything worked
like magic (not the devil's magic... good magic:) ). Our Token Ring network
integrated flawlessly with it. And it even used SSE optimizations. Well, me and
Junis are now on a new mission. We're spreading the word. It might not be the
word of the lord, but then again, maybe it is
SCO Xenix: The Unix of Tomorrow.
