I hope the L.A. Confidential TV pilot (starring Keifer Sutherland) is included.
i ordered a the dvd for cheap
L.A. Confidential was the first DVD I ever bought way back in '97. Still one of my favorites. Ah memories...
Well I wander if they will release it for a 10th Anniversary edition which means NEXT year. This is a great movie. Much better than that "boat movie" that won the academy award.
Eh? The existing disc is pretty bloody good. A reasonable number of features, isolated score... Not exactly a bad release compared to a lot of Warner's back catelogue (or a lot of new releases for that matter).
its in the works look for it NExt year
I also hope this will be re-released in a better special edition.
All releases for this were all the same all regions.....
I dont know about over in the UK, but WB did an online chat a while back at the home theater forum where they said sometime next year
L.A. Confidential S.E. release? I realise that Warner Home Video has already released a 'Special Edition' DVD of this movie, but, to be honest, it was severely lacking, considering that back then, when it was first released, a S.E. meant just a couple of short featurettes.
If you ask me, this is one film crying out for a proper S.E. release in the near future, after all, it is one of the best films of the 90's.
Any word on whether or not there will be one?

ZOTAC GeForce 8200-ITX WiFi AM2+ Motherboard
The Board
Being a Mini-ITX motherboard, there isn't a huge amount of room to play with. In fact, there is a mere 17x17cm and quite a lot of this is taken up by the CPU socket. Since the board is designed to use AM2+ CPU's, a lot of real estate is taken up by the CPU socket and the retention mechanism designed to hold the heatsink on the CPU. When comparing the 630i ITX and the 8200, the sockets and heatsink clearances are around the same; there is no disadvantage between the two here. Both boards have the same amount of left over PCB to add accessories.
On the left hand edge of the board is where you will find the 24-pin ATX power connector, right behind the two orange DDR2 memory slots. The 4-pin power connector is on the right hand side of the board between the heatsink retention mechanism and in direct line with the DVI-I port.
One thing is very evident about this board before we even get into testing, the memory performance of this board is going to skyrocket compared to the 630i Wi-Fi ITX. Why do we know this with so much certainty? - First off, the 630i NVIDIA chip used on the Intel board is a single channel memory bus only; that's the old crappy 64-bit bus we used to deal with in the beginning of DDR memory. Since AMD has its memory controller on the CPU die, it's not limited to 64-bit and can go to 128-bit as long as there are two or more DDR2 slots. And as you could see above, this board comes up trumps with two DDR2 memory slots.
To feed the CPU with its power requirements, ZOTAC has gone for the tried and true 3 phase power regulation system, which is more than enough for stock operation of any K8 and K10 processor on the market today, including the new Phenom II processors.
Unfortunately, ZOTAC has elected to use Electrolyte capacitors and iron ferrite chokes over the solid state copper caps; a bit disappointing, but we can live with it for this board.
At the heart of the board is NVIDIA's GeForce 8200 single chipset. This incorporates an IGP into a single chip which houses a HT 3.0 link, SATA interface, PCI Express interface as well as all the other goodies we associate with NVIDIA chipsets.
The graphics technology integrated into the GeForce 8200 chipset is a 16 stream DX10 engine running at a 500MHz internal clock speed. Its principal memory for the GPU is UMA or SMA; however you want to word it. It sucks up to 256MB of system memory for the GPU. Unlike Intel's dynamic memory system which only uses 8MB when under 2D applications and then if needed will use a total of 256MB for 3D, NVIDIA assign the full amount to the GPU at boot up, so you lose whatever you set the GPU max memory at straight away. You can have 64, 128 or 256MB allocated to the GPU memory. Thanks to the dual channel memory of the AMD processor, there is more bandwidth to spare for the GPU compared to the Intel offering.
Turning our attention forward, we now take a look at the rear I/O ports. Really, there isn't a huge amount here; there are two video ports for DVI and D-Sub connectivity, but to be honest, a DVI and HDMI arrangement would have been nicer. While you can convert to HDMI from DVI, it's still a pain in the butt having this converter hanging off the back of a small Mini-ITX case.
The audio is the biggest disappointment. While the GeForce 8200 has built in HD Audio, it's limited to 5.1 sound using the three stereo ports at the back and there are no digital audio outputs, so bye bye to bit-streaming any of your DVD's or Blu-rays using S/PDIF. But with that said, ZOTAC has placed a 4-pin header on the board which can be used to connect a S/PDIF PCI bracket to, but that is still a nuisance as it means having to search around to try and buy one and they aren't very common these days. The other way around it is to use the supplied DVI and HDMI convertor and have both the audio and video sent down the one cable, but this requires you own a HDMI amplifier/receiver; something many people don't have.
Last on the list are the expansion slots. Traditionally Mini-ITX boards have been limited to a single PCI slot. While this may have been ok in the past, PCI slots are dinosaurs and it's the same as having ISA slots on Pentium 4 motherboards; they are just out of place.
Thankfully ZOTAC engineers have some sense and include a single PCI-E x1 slot. We would have preferred to have seen a x16 slot since the GeForce 8200 does have provisions for a PCIe 2.0 x16 lane for graphics cards; this slot would allow for a discrete GPU or any other PCI-E device to be installed.

Comments about 'Saudi artists cautiously push against redlines'

I think it is good. I saw an Arabic movie, called Wadjeda, (English subtitles).
A 10 year old girl wants a bicycle. Girls riding bicycles are frowned upon.
("You won't be a virgin anymore.") She enters a Quran reciting
contest at her school to win the prize money to buy a bicycle. (She is kind of
rebellious so the principal is pleasantly surprised.) She works really hard and
she wins the contest and gets the money. So the principal asks her in front of
the school. "Well Wadjeda, what are you going to buy with the money?"
She says, "A bicycle." This horrifies the principal. "Why
don't you give the money to our Palestinian brethren? . . . God will bless
you for your generosity."
So she doesn't get the money. Her mom who was going to buy a red dress to wear for her husband. She gives the dress money to Wadjeda so she gets the bike. The sad part is the mother was going to buy the red dress because she was scared her husband was going to marry a second wife. He did, so she saw no need to buy the dress. It was too late.

During Ramadan about eight years ago there is this comedy miniseries that plays.
They poked fun at the Al Qaeda types. They had one scene of these two jihadist
guys writing on webpages about how it is a worthy pursuit to sacrifice, fight
and to die fighting the Crusaders, and how, (God willing) they would sacrifice
their lives, etc. And then they are complaining that their AC is not working
very good and how they are suffering so much because the room is not cold.
I have seen statues in the public squares in Jeddah. They do a lot of that. The architecture is really good. They have a skyscraper with a hole in it in Riyadh. A Saudi friend joked with me about it. "Do you know why it has a hole?" "Why?" "So someone can fly a plane through it."

WASHINGTON -- With one month remaining until the interest rate for subsidized Stafford loans is set to double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, President Obama will gather students today at the White House to call on Congress to act to prevent the increase, the White House announced Wednesday. Obama and Congressional Republicans have both proposed long-term fixes to the problem that would be based on the interest rates for Treasury bonds, but can't agree on the specifics of the plans -- such as whether the rate should vary from year to year for all borrowers or remain fixed over the life of the loan. Meanwhile, Congressional Democrats want to postpone the increase for a year or two to give themselves time to rewrite the Higher Education Act.
Higher Education Quick Takes
Quick Takes
In death as in life, Margaret Thatcher's relationship to her alma mater, the University of Oxford, is contentious. The Oxford college she attended is currently raising funds for scholarships to be named for the late prime minister. But on Wednesday, London Mayor Boris Johnson denounced the university for not doing more, BBC reported. He noted that Thatcher was the first Oxford graduate after World War II who became prime minister and was never awarded an honorary doctorate. Professors blocked a move to award her the honor in 1995. Johnson called on Oxford to name a college after Thatcher. Many British academics hated Thatcher and her policies, which they viewed as taking away government support from the institution. But Johnson said that Oxford and other universities, which today depend on tuition revenue from foreign students, should remember that Thatcher's policies made it possible for universities to gain financially from such enrollments.
"I'm still waiting for the Oxford dons to accept the gravity of their error and, in the spirit of magnanimity, to award Baroness Thatcher not only a posthumous doctorate, but why not endow a college?" Johnson said. "Why not have a college in honor of their greatest post-war benefactress as they rake in the doubloons from international student fees?"
The university said that it has no plans to create additional colleges.
The group Friends of Roxbury Community College is opposing the selection of a new board chair because he is white, The Boston Business Journal reported. The group sent a letter to Governor Deval Patrick, a Democrat, saying that it was "insulting for Governor Patrick to appoint a white person to head up the body that is the primary decision maker for the college. He is sending a message that although we are a predominantly black institution, it will take a white person to give you the vision and leadership to take the college to the 'promised land' of education. That is the 'plantation' type mentality." The governor's appointee is Gerald Chertavian, who is the CEO of Year Up, a nonprofit that helps urban youth advance educationally. In an interview, Sadiki Kambon, the head of the Friends of Roxbury Community College, said that the organization had no objection to Chertavian personally and would welcome him on the board, just not as chair. The governor's office did not respond to a request for comment. Chertavian said he was focused on "serving the college and the students as best I can and making sure they achieve their potential."
In what is believed to be a first, a man playing college basketball has identified himself as gay during his college years. Jallen Messersmith told his story to the website Outsports, which reported on his experiences coming out at Benedictine College, a liberal arts college in Kansas that plays in the NAIA. Messersmith described coaches and fellow athletes who have been totally supportive, as "100 percent for me." Other men who played college basketball have come out after the end of their college careers, but Messersmith is a junior. There are many out women in college basketball, although many report facing homophobia.
Haifa University has become the first university in Israel to give all students the day off on the most important Christian, Muslim and Druze holidays, Christmas, Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha, respectively, Haaretz reported. A new calendar will be issued that will not cut either the Jewish holidays off or the total number of class days.
Student services employees at Evergreen State College went on strike Tuesday, The Olympian reported. The union and the administration differ on salaries and procedures for firing employees. Some faculty members moved classes off campus to avoid crossing picket lines.
Faculty members at Transylvania University have voted, 68 to 7, no confidence in President Owen Williams, The Lexington Herald-Leader reported. Faculty members object to the president's refusal to grant tenure to two faculty members who had passed reviews and who, faculty leaders said, had performed the work they had been told would assure tenure. Professors also criticized the president's management style. Trustees responded with a unanimous vote expressing confidence in Williams.
The Harvard University dean who authorized searches of the e-mail accounts of some resident deans (who are something like junior faculty members) has announced she will return to the faculty. Numerous press accounts seemed to suggest a link between the departure of Evelynn M. Hammonds as dean of Harvard College, and the controversy over the e-mail searches. But she told reporters that there was no such link. The Harvard announcement said that she had decided to return to teaching and research. Hammonds will lead a new program for the study of race and gender in science and medicine.

ST. LOUIS -- In an opening plenary speech at the annual NAFSA: Association of International Educators conference on Tuesday, former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan recalled his time as an international student at Minnesota's Macalester College, saying that it taught him "lessons which have remained indispensable throughout my career. Not all these lessons were learned, I must admit, in the classroom."
"I remember when I got to Minnesota, my first winter ever, coming straight from Africa to Minnesota, I had to put on layers and layers of clothes to stay warm. And I thought that was reasonable enough." There was, however, one common item of clothing he was determined he would never wear: "the earmuffs," as he called them. He would wear no such things. "They were inelegant," he told a laughing audience.
"Until one day when the temperature had hit -23 degrees, with a wind chill factor, I went to get something to eat and I thought my ears were going to fall off. The next day I can assure you I went and bought my earmuffs."
"I learned a precious lesson – that you don't walk into a situation, you don't go into a country and pretend you know better than the locals, you know better than the natives. You better listen to them and look at what they do," Annan said.
More than 8,000 professionals in international education are attending the conference, which continues through Friday.

Mori welcome to the group.
Tony, I wonder if a human put on a suit of solar energy collectors, if they could take a little flight. Remember those early photos of trying to fly in those crazy huge wings? Maybe they were ahead of their time; they needed an energy source humans couldn't provide.
Tony, as usual, you stimulated my curiosity about orangutans and get ready for an adventure:
Well, I can see the Northern sea route, although I couldn't find a migratory map for norther sea life. This is for humpback whales.
Tony, I have never heard of such creatures. Where do they occur? ...
"most years in the spring, there is a mass stranding that occurs along the West Coast of North America, from British Columbia to California, beginning in the north and moving south over several weeks' time. In some years, so many animals are left at the tide line by receding waves, that the line of dying (and subsequently rotting) animals may be many centimetres deep, along hundreds of kilometres of beaches. Mass strandings have been reported also on the west coast of Ireland."
that is interesting, along the west coast of North America and Ireland. I wonder what migratory route they took to make that leap?
Yesterday, with considerable difficulty, I hacked some stale coconut macaroons into pieces with a meat cleaver and put them out for the squirrel. Today there are new holes in the flower bed, where he buried them. *sigh* Oh well.
Tony love the white squirrel and the hydrozoan. I just love learning new things - appreciate it.

Today we will be talking about VCE's cloud infrastructure product, the Vblock. Gartner's recent study that through next year 60% of enterprises will embrace some form of cloud adoption, has enlightened the competitive cloud vendor market. But at the same time, does the cloud industry need to be driven by vendor competition or vendor collaboration? Archie Hendryx of VCE Technology Solutions discusses this very matter.
EM360°: Could you tell us about VCE and why cloud has played a big part in your company's solutions?
Archie: VCE is a unique start up company formed via joint investments from EMC, Cisco, VMware and Intel that has been operating for just over three years. Its focus is solely on building the world's most advanced converged infrastructure, the Vblock. The Vblock is a pretested, prevalidated and preconfigured and more importantly pre-integrated infrastructure solution of storage, compute, networking and hypervisor; so in other words it ships out as a single SKU and product to the customer.
Personally I like to equate VCE as a revolutionary that has changed the way we view infrastructure as it's manufacturing and selling infrastructure as a product much in the way like you buy a car such as an Audi. When you buy an Audi you may have different components from different vendors that make up that car but what the end user is purchasing is a single product. Similarly with the Vblock while we may use different components from our investors Cisco, EMC, VMware and Intel the end user is acquiring a product. Because it's a standardized product, the Vblock models are exactly the same regardless of geographical location, which completely radicalizes and simplifies the customer experience of infrastructure and consequently mitigates the typical risk associated with it.
As for how the cloud has played a big part in VCE's success, one of the major criticisms of private clouds is that the end user still has to build, manage and maintain the infrastructure to the extent that they are continuing the 'keeping the lights on' approach of IT. Ultimately this lacks the economic benefit that makes cloud computing such an intriguing concept. Hence what we and our customers quickly realized is that a private cloud's success ultimately depends on the stability, reliability, scalability and performance of its infrastructure. By going the Vblock route our customers immediately attain that stability, reliability, scalability and performance and consequently accelerate their private cloud initiatives. For example with support issues, VCE alone are the owner of the ticket because the Vblock is their product. Once the Vblock has been shipped out problems that might potentially be faced by a customer in Glasgow can easily be tested on a like-for-like standard Vblock in our labs. This rapidly resolves performance issues or trouble tickets.
The other distinctive feature of the Vblock is its accelerated deployment. We ship to the customer a ready assembled logically configured product and solution in only 30-45 working days, from procurement to production. This has an immediate effect in terms of the reduction in cost of ownership, especially when the businesses demand that instant platform for their new projects.
EM360°: Your latest cloud infrastructure solution sees your components from the Vblock, integrating with VMware's new cloud solutions system. Can you tell me why industry collaboration is seen to be prominent in today's market?
Archie: What I think has driven this is a change in mindset of customers which has been initiated by the concept of cloud computing. Customers are reassessing the way they procure IT and they want a simplified and accelerated experience that doesn't require having to go to multiple vendors and solutions. I think vendors that are still only focused on storage or servers and have not looked at expanding their offerings via alliances or acquisitions are either going to fold or be swallowed up by the big fishes as they look to add to their portfolios. This is one of the reasons why the latest announcement from VMware and their vCloud suite is so exciting and of course VCE's support and integration for it.
If VCE and the Vblock are responsible for accelerating your journey to the private cloud you could say that adding this vCloud suite would pretty much give it a major turbo boost.
EM360°: Are copyright factors, or other vendors sussing out each other's strengths and weaknesses, a problem when you encounter a project like this?
Archie: That's a really interesting question and certainly I have experienced that in previous roles, especially when I was with initiatives such as Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) when they had SMI-S compliancy. We were always promised that SMI-S compliancy would allow us to have the utopia of a single pane of glass for heterogeneous storage arrays, regardless of whether the storage array was from HDS, HP or EMC. Sadly this was never the case. As none of the vendors opened up fully and you only ended up with around 60% functionality, which ultimately meant that you went back to the native tools and multiple management panes of glass that you had anyway. You could not really blame the vendors as it would be naive to think that one vendor would allow its competitor to dissect their micro-code. This mindset is not going to change. So that is why you will see vendors deciding to procure their own server companies or storage vendors to provide this end-to-end stack.
At VCE we are in a very unique position where our investors are not competing with each other, and for us they are ultimately the component providers to our product. We don't necessarily support or include all of our investors' products or portfolios as components, only those we feel really best integrate with our single end user product. Once we have our specific components defined from our investors based on our standards we then pre-integrate and manufacture our product as a comprehensive solution. While our competitors and even our investors have such a large portfolio of products and offerings, VCE only do Vblocks and hence only focus on improving and optimizing Vblocks, enabling us to do things which others in the industry have only dreamed of, and this will be announced very soon.
EM360°: Today's enterprise market is obviously rather confused and what some other analysts are also thinking. I don't think some companies know what they want for their departments, whether to embrace public, open, private or a bit of both - hybrid functions. A lot of vendors are doing their own spin on cloud, particularly the niche players. Is the industry doing enough to simplify the product offering?
Archie: In a nutshell no. There is still a lot of confusion out there and smoke screen marketing from various vendors and this hasn't helped the end user decide or make the distinction between the various offerings and what is best for them. What we have found most recently with a lot of our enterprise clients is that they initially look at us as part of a storage server or datacenter refresh. While they may have some cloud initiatives, they really have little or no idea on how to achieve them, certainly in terms of the traditional model of IT procurement and deployment.
Once they understand the concept of the Vblock and how VCE can provide them a productized, risk free infrastructure we immediately see them come to the realisation of how this could be aligned to a Private Cloud model that in turn could develop to a Hybrid cloud. Once the customer realizes how agile and quick the deployment of their infrastructure could be with a Vblock , we nearly always find them talking and feeling freer to think higher up the stack with strategic discussions and plans on how they can deploy a management and orchestration solution and service portal. Ultimately if you want people to really understand the Cloud and what's best for them you've got to show them how you take away the risk from their traditional IT and infrastructure challenges.
EM360°: Have we seen innovation thrive in the cloud infrastructure management market, and what kinds of developments and developments have really caught your eye today?
Archie: There are a lot great products and suites out there. Every day we are seeing improvements in the look and the feel of such products as they come closer to providing that public cloud experience to the private cloud. I think the challenge of all of these solutions up to now is that they have to be integrating with all of the components of the infrastructure as separate entities, especially when it comes to designing and deploying orchestration. Without trying to reveal too much what VCE will be bringing out, I can certainly say that it will completely revolutionize and simplify this, where the product will now be managed, monitored and orchestrated as exactly that, a single Vblock product. When this development comes it will really excite many and completely transform the private cloud infrastructure model going forward.
EM360°: Are there any final thoughts you would like to leave our readers with as to how the cloud infrastructure market will play out in the future, what kind of systems we could be using and how enterprises should look to plan ahead?
Archie: The industry is at an inflection point. The approach to IT is changing and is affecting the way customers and vendors approach and procure infrastructure, specifically with regards to the mission critical applications that they ultimately depend on. This is going to lead to more converged infrastructure offerings that are eventually going to pretty much get to the point where VCE are, which is a standardized product offering, or as we like to call it an x86 mainframe. One CTO of a customer recently said to me that if I do not look at purchasing the components of the power and cooling of my datacenter, why should I do that with my infrastructure? That kind of summed it up for me because there is going to come a time when people will look back at the way open systems IT was purchased and deployed as ludicrous as someone today buying all of the components of a laptop, putting it all together, somehow expecting it to work perfectly and then be supported seamlessly by all of the vendors of the components.
To take that laptop analogy further what we will eventually see with infrastructure viewed and built as a product, is a new way to manage, monitor and update it as a product. For example when you update your laptop you are automatically notified of the patches and it's a single click of the button for the single product. You don't receive an update for your keyboard, followed by an update for your screen only for a week later to be sent another update for your CD-ROM. Concurrently when it comes to support you don't log a call with the manufacturer of the CD-ROM component of your laptop you go directly to the manufacturer of the product. Imagine that same experience with your Cloud infrastructure where it alerts you of a single seamless update for the whole product? Where it has a true single management pane and presents itself to the end user as a single entity? Imagine how that would simplify the configuration, orchestration and management of the Private Cloud. That's where the future lies and to be honest it might not be that far away.
