Just wanted to say thanks for the script and help on irc killa. Your hint lead me to a bunch of possible solutions. One of which is taken straight from the ettercap man page. DOH!
"BRIDGED, it uses two network interfaces and forward the traffic from one to the other while performing sniffing and content filtering. This sniffing method is totally stealthy since there is no way to find that someone is in the middle on the cable. You can look at this method as a mitm attack at layer 1. You will be in the middle of the cable between two entities. Dont use it on gateways or it will transform your gateway into a bridge. HINT: you can use the content filtering engine to drop packets that should not pass. This way ettercap will work as an inline IPS "
Haven't tried it yet, but it's a start in the right direction after being at a stalemate for days. Again, many thanks.

'Hasek was rested after recording two shutouts in seven days and the Penguins took immediate advantage, scoring two goals 12 seconds apart less than a minute into the game against Martin Biron en route to a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.'
Archives for March 2001
Pittsburgh 4, Buffalo 1
Pittsburgh uses quick start to beat Buffalo, 4-1
'With a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a win or a tie Tuesday night, the Sabres instead were pulled closer to sixth place with a loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins at Mellon Arena.'
Pens score twice in first :59, beat Sabres 4-1
'The Penguins quick start, followed by a strong defensive performance, resulted in a convincing 4-1 win over the Sabres Tuesday.'
Thrashers lose to Buffalo 4-0
'Though the Thrashers had five power play opportunities, including a double minor on Audette for high sticking Per Svartvadet in the face, the team was unable to get anything by Hasek, only mustering nineteen shots on goal.'
Atlanta still Audette's kind of town
'So as the winger's wife and two children shouted and clapped, the rest of the 13,500 paid visitors took a moment to search their souls. Then, they joined Manon, Katherine and Daniel Audette in a round of applause. In Atlanta, as in Buffalo, Donald Audette is still an old friend.'
Potent Penguins pose test
'Tonight, the NHL's best defense gets a look at one of the hockey's most potent offenses. The Buffalo Sabres, who have allowed a league-low 169 goals, travel to Pittsburgh for a rendezvous with Mario Lemieux and the high-scoring Penguins.'
Sabres thrash Atlanta, 4-0
'With the win, the Sabres gain a point on the Philadelphia Flyers for fourth place, as Buffalo now trails Philadelphia by three points after the Flyers tied Ottawa 3-3. Buffalo also picked up a pair of points on their sixth-place persuer, as the Sabres lead Pittsburgh by five points going into Tuesday's visit in the Steel City.'
Sabre thrust from Audette cuts Thrashers
'Audette, traded from the Thrashers to Buffalo March 13, knocked home a rebound with Ferraro on his back in the first period. The goal — his first since the trade — punctuated the right winger's return to Atlanta Monday night and started the Sabres to a 4-0 win at Philips Arena.'
Worth his wait in goal
'After the game, Audette was all smiles. He rushed away from interviews to see his wife Manon, daughter Katherine and son Daniel, who sported a Sabres sweater while waiting outside the locker room.'
Game Report
'The Sabres held a 28-15 advantage in shots after two periods and finished with a 31-19 advantage. The Thrashers showed little zip offensively and could not convert a power play.'
Sabres 4, Thrashers 0
'Satan scored two goals and Donald Audette's first goal for Buffalo came against his former team as the Sabres beat the Atlanta Thrashers 4-0 on Monday night.'
Buffalo 4, Atlanta 0
'Donald Audette made a triumphant return to Philips Arena and Dominik Hasek recorded his league-leading 10th shutout as the Buffalo Sabres rolled to their sixth win in seven games, a 4-0 blanking of the Atlanta Thrashers.'
Late goal ends Satan's slump
'Satan has gotten a handful of prime scoring chances lately, but due to good goaltending, bad bounces and whatever more ethereal forces might be at work, he has put the puck on net just four times in the last three games. Coach Lindy Ruff has expended considerable effort trying to change Satan's luck, juggling lines to put Satan alongside two-way center Curtis Brown and high-scoring newcomer Steve Heinze.'
Sabres vs. Thrashers
'With a game in hand, Sabres are four points behind Philadelphia for fourth place in Eastern Conference.'
Audette says he wanted to remain with the Thrashers
'"I always wanted to sign with the Thrashers," Audette said. "(Waddell) knew I wanted four years (guaranteed) or three and an option. When he offered me two (guaranteed) plus two (options), it was like offering me nothing. He knew I would turn it down. This wasn't my decision, it was their's. "I understand it's a negotiation. But I don't think I went overboard. I did my job on the ice and I expected them to do their's."'

Android emulation
Android emulation
Android-x86 in VirtualBox
The Android-x86 emulator is fast and efficient. It runs many apps (but not as many as the Android SDK emulator).
- In Virtualbox (or QEMU, VMWare, or other virtual environment), install Android-x86 using the .iso downloaded to a hard drive (or, alternatively, burned to a CD or USB drive). Details:
- From your favorite package manager (Muon, Synaptic, etc.) you can install the package virtualbox-qt, or from the command line:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-qt
Both the proprietary binary for VirtualBox and the necessary dependency virtualbox-dkms will be installed at the same time.
- Download a version of the Android-x86 image (.iso) from here. I used the latest version for ASUS (eee) Netbooks.
- Start VirtualBox:
- Menu -> Utilities -> VirtualBox
- Create a new Virtual Machine for the Android x-86 OS:
- VirtualBox -> New -> Next -> Name: Android -> OS Type: Operating System: Linux -> Version: Linux 2.6
- -> Next -> Base Memory Size: 512 MB -> Next -> Virtual hard disk: Create new hard disk -> Next
- -> File type: VDI -> Next -> Storage details: Dynamically allocated -> Next -> Location: Android
- -> Size: 8 GB -> Summary: Create
Note: The Android 2.2 and 2.3 versions run very efficiently with only 256 MB Base Memory and require little hard disk space. For these versions I used only 2 GB for a virtual disk, of which 1 GB is used for the virtual ("fake") SDcard.
- Tweak the VirtualBox Settings so that mouse capture is enabled for the newly created Android virtual machine. (Without this step you will not be able to use the mouse (or touchpad) in Android.):
- Virtualbox -> Settings -> System -> Enable absolute pointing device (unticked)
- The Android-x86 website says that only Soundblaster 16 works as a VirtualBox soundcard for Android, so change the Audio settings for VirtualBox:
- VirtualBox -> Settings -> Audio -> Audio controller: Soundblaster 16
- I use a wired Ethernet connection (with Android-x86 2.3). I therefore tweak the VirtualBox Settings to emulate a virtual PCnet-Fast III adapter, as recommended on the Android-x86 website.
- VirtualBox -> Settings -> Network -> Enable Network Adapter (ticked) -> Attached to: NAT
- -> Advanced -> Adapter Type: PCnet-Fast III (Am79C973) -> Ok
- It is also possible to use the Attached to: Bridged Adapter mode with Name: eth0
- Choose the downloaded Android-x86 (.iso) as a virtual CD-ROM to be used by VirtualBox:
- VirtualBox -> Settings -> Storage -> Storage Tree: CD icon (Empty)
- -> CD icon: Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file ...
- -> (click on the name of the downloaded android-x86-4.0-eeepc.iso file) -> Ok
- Start the installation of Android-x86 in the VirtualBox virtual machine:
- VirtualBox -> Start --> Installation -- Install Android-x86 to hard disk
- -> Choose Partition: Create/Modify partitions -> Ok -> New -> Primary -> Size (in MB): 8588
- -> Bootable -> Write -> Are you sure you want to write the partition table to disk? (yes or no): yes -> <Enter>
- -> Quit -> Please select a partition to install Android-x86: sda1 LINUX VBOX HARDDISK -> OK ->
- -> Choose filesystem: ext3 -> OK -> Are you sure to format the partition sda1? -> Yes
- -> Do you want to install bootloader GRUB? -> Yes -> Do you want to install /system as read-write? yes
Note: the partition in this step is not on your physical hard drive but is entirely within the virtual hard drive created in the previous step. You will not erase anything on your physical hard drive during this step; only the contents within the virtual hard drive are at stake (and to your physical hard drive, the virtual hard drive appears only as an 8 GB file). There is no danger of harming your hard drive no matter what you do here! During installation of the Android OS, it makes sense to use the entire space of the newly created virtual hard drive (8 GB if following the instructions outlined above) for the Android OS.
- After installation completes, the "Congratulations! Android-x386 is installed successfully" message appears.
- At this stage I like to optionally Create a Fake SDcard (although there are several other options for SDcard emulation).
- -> Create a fake SD card -> Please input the size of the sdcard.img in MB: 1024 -> Creating sdcard.img -> The fake SD card is created successfully.
I use half of the total partition space for my fake SDcard.img, so that if I created a 2 GB partition, I create a 1 GB fake SDcard.img. As long as plenty of space remains in the partition for the Android-x86 OS (I generally leave 1 GB for the OS), however, the size of the sdcard.img is unimportant and can be as large or small as desired.
- After completing the initial Android setup (but before a "Reboot"), shutdown the Android virtual machine and tweak the VirtualBox settings so that the virtual CD-ROM no longer uses the Android-x86.iso virtual CD. (If you don't do this the virtual CD will be loaded again at reboot.):
- VirtualBox -> Machine -> Close -> Power off the machine
- -> Settings -> Storage -> CD-ROM icon (click) -> Host Drive DVD RW (select your physical CD/DVD drive, which should be listed) -> Passthrough ('ticked') -> OK
- Restart the virtual machine and this time it should boot to the newly created virtual hard drive (with the newly installed Android-x86 OS on it). Whenever you Start the Android virtual machine in the future, it should boot straight into Android-x86.
- During the first run, you can use the TAB button to navigate between options, or by clicking on the Android virtual machine window, you can "capture" the mouse (a blue pointer should appear) for use by the Android virtual machine. To return to the (K)Ubuntu normal (white) mouse pointer, use the <RIGHT-CTRL> button.
- -> Start -> (setup initial options as desired)
Networking for Android-x86
- By default the Android OS uses wireless networking. This can be linked to the (K)Ubuntu host's wireless adapter using either the NAT or Bridged networking modes of VirtualBox.
- The Android 2.2 and 2.3 versions of Android-x86 also include wired Ethernet networking capabilities, which works well. Because I use Android-x86 in a wired environment, I mostly use Android-x86 2.3.
- If your (K)Ubuntu host only has a wired ethernet connection, then you will use the eth0 connection within Android. In the VirtualBox Networking settings (Virtualbox -> Settings -> Network -> Attached to:) you can use NAT or Bridged Adapter (eth0) but if you intend to use any server functions from Android, you must use the Bridged Adapter (eth0). Start the Android virtual machine after choosing the VirtualBox settings.
Wired networking for Android-x86 RC 4.0RC1
- (Note: I could not get wired networking to function properly in the Android-x86 3.2 version.)
- These instructions were tested using the android-x86-4.0-RC1-eeepc version of Android-x86 and were adapted from those given here.
- Make sure the host computer's firewall is off while testing connections.
- Once the Android system has fully booted within the virtual machine, go to the root command-line using <ALT-F1>.
- The command line can also be reached through the Terminal Emulator:
- Android -> Home icon -> App menu icon -> Terminal Emulator
- You may then need to become the superuser from the command-line: su
- (This step may be optional and is suggested only if needed for troubleshooting. It is necessary if using the "route add" command in the next step.) From the command line, enable the wired networking port using ifconfig. Use an unused IP address on the main LAN:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.59
- (This step may be optional and is suggested only if needed for troubleshooting.) For the eth0 connection set a route to the default gateway (this should be the IP address of your router / DHCP server on your LAN):
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth0
- For some reason, my connection would not work unless a DHCP connection is enabled:
netcfg eth0 dhcp
- Test to make sure traffic is reaching the router:
ping 192.168.0.1
- Set a DNS provider (examples are 184.108.40.206 for Google, 126.96.36.199 for Comodo, and 126.96.36.199 for OpenDNS).
setprop net.dns1 184.108.40.206
- Return to the Android environment using <ALT-F7>.
- Following these steps, start the Browser. If you get a webpage, then the connection works. If not, make sure all firewalls are off (for your VirtualBox host) while testing your setup.
Installing apps
- Use either the Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 version of Android-x86 for wired networking. Most (but not all) apps will work with wired connections.
- The following apps work (both wirelessly and with wired connections):
- FDroid open source app repository -- download the app directly through the Android browser: https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk )
- Amazon Appstore (requires free account at Amazon)
- Words with Friends free -- available through Amazon Appstore
- AndFTP (FTP client) -- download the app directly through the Android browser: http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andftp/AndFTP.apk
- These apps do not work:
- Netflix (stock app from Amazon Appstore or the modified XDA-developers' version). The Netflix app requires Android version 2.3 or later, in general, but I have not been able to get Netflix to work with any Android-x86 version yet.
Modified apps
Note: These are for testing only.
For the Android-x86 4.0RC1 version with an imperfect wired connection, I needed to download from the command-line:
- Go to the command line using <ALT-F1>.
- Change to the /sdcard directory and download the app using wget:
cd /sdcard wget http://ubuntuguide.org/images/Amazon_Appstore-release.apk
- Return to the Android GUI environment (<ALT-F7>). Use the OpenManager file browser to navigate to the /sdcard directory, where the downloaded xxx.apk file should be found. Click on it to install it.
- In other versions with working wired or wireless connections (i.e. Android 2.2 and 2.3), the apps can be downloaded directly from the Android Browser.
Usage tips
- In Android-x86 2.2 and 2.3, the "Back" function is the right mouse button or "ESC." To go to the "Home" screen, use the "Windows" button of the keyboard. A quick <double-click> with the captured mouse will alternately zoom in and zoom out (for many apps). The <PGUP>, <PGDN>, and arrow keys of the physical keyboard can be used to navigate the Android-x86 display.
- To disable the pop-up Android keyboard, untick the "Android keyboard" in the Android -> Settings -> Language & keyboard settings.
- If you have created a VirtualBox virtual machine for your Android OS entitled Android, then it can be started using the command (which can be placed in a menu item):
VirtualBox -startvm "Android"
- You can also start VirtualBox in fullscreen mode:
VirtualBox -fullscreen -startvm "Android"
- However, for this to be beneficial, you would also have to change the display settings of the Android-x86 OS to be larger as well. For example, if using a 1024x768 screen, the UVESA_MODE=1024x768 option should be added to the Grub bootup settings. This can be done by editing the Grub settings using the vi editor. Boot Android-x86 into the "Debug mode" to enter the command-line environment, then edit /mnt/grub/menu.lst:
vi /mnt/grub/menu.lst
- and add UVESA_MODE=1024x768 to an existing line or create an entirely new entry that includes the option. In vi use the i option to start inserting text and ESC to stop. Save and quit the vi editor using :wq. Reboot the Android system for the changes to appear.
- Portrait mode can be enabled by creating custom video modes for VirtualBox. Using the instructions here I create four custom video modes for the four portrait resolutions that I like: 320x480 (a size that approximates a smartphone size), 540x720 (which works well for me in fullscreen mode on my 1024x768 monitor), 504x672 (which works well for me in windowed mode on my monitor), and 450x600 (which is easily maneuvered in window mode). These modes are all 16-bit modes (24-bit modes don't work for me in these sizes). (As in the other examples, my virtual machine is named Android.)
VBoxManage setextradata "Android" "CustomVideoMode1" "320x480x16" VBoxManage setextradata "Android" "CustomVideoMode2" "540x720x16" VBoxManage setextradata "Android" "CustomVideoMode3" "504x672x16" VBoxManage setextradata "Android" "CustomVideoMode4" "450x600x16"
- I then edit the Android Grub menu (as above) and add entries for my custom resolutions, using UVESA_MODE=320x480 DPI=160, UVESA_MODE=540x720 DPI=160, UVESA_MODE=504x672 DPI=160, and UVESA_MODE=450x600 DPI=160, each in a different Grub entry, to correspond to the custom video modes I created. When I start the Android virtual machine I can select my resolution and orientation by choosing from one of these newly created Grub menu entries. (Note that by setting a 16-bit resolution for the CustomVideoModes, the Android-x86 Grub settings must correspondingly be DPI=160 instead of DPI=240.)
- An easy method to change the display size of Android-x86 is the "Scale" mode of VirtualBox. In this mode, the size of Android-x86 will be scaled to whatever size the VirtualBox window is stretched. It is a menu item in VirtualBox, or can be reached from the hotkeys: <RIGHT-CTRL>-<HOME>.
Android SDK emulator
Android SDK for Linux is a 32-bit Android emulator/software development kit. It incorporates a QEMU virtual machine framework as part of its installation. It provides a fully functional Android environment and apps can be installed from (and run within) the emulator. However, it is a very top-heavy and slow environment to use for emulation unless you have a very powerful computer with lots of RAM and processing power.
- Install the pre-requisites:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs default-jre
Note: ia32-libs is only needed on a 64-bit system. default-jre will also install open-jdk6-jre.
- Download the Android SDK (e.g. android-skd_r18-linux.tgz from here and extract it (using Ark, for example) to its default folder ~/android-sdk-linux/ (i.e. /home/user/android-sdk-linux/):
wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r18-linux.tgz tar xvf android-sdk_r18-linux.tgz
- Add the /home/user/android-sdk-linux/tools and /home/user/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/ directories to the PATH for the user (or for the system) by editing /home/user/.profile (or /etc/profile for system-wide use):
sudo nano /home/user/.profile
and adding this line at the end:
export PATH=/home/user/android-sdk-linux/tools/:/home/user/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/:$PATH
Save the file and then log out/log in (or reboot if changes were made to the system-wide config file).
- Change to the /home/user/android-sdk-linux/tools directory and start the Android SDK Manager:
cd /home/user/android-sdk-linux/tools ./android
- Install the "Tools" by ticking the appropriate boxes -> Install Packages
- Choose which Android version to emulate and install it.
- Android SDK Manager -> Android 4.0.3 (API 15) (ticked) -> Install packages
- Still within the Android SDK Manager, create a virtual machine ("AVD") with the desired Android system in it. The WXGA800 skin gives a widescreen (tablet) appearance:
- Android SDK Manager -> Tools -> Manage AVDs -> New
- -> Name: Android4 -> Target: Android 4.0.3 - API Level 15 -> Size (of virtual SDcard): 2 Gb -> Skin: Built-in: WXGA800 -> Hardware: Device ram size (in Mb): <click> on 1024 -> 512
- -> Create AVD
- At the time of the creation of the virtual machine it is possible to adjust the amount of RAM dedicated to your device (I personally only dedicate 384 Mb) or leave it at the default of 1024 Mb if your system has plenty of RAM.
- Close the Android SDK Manager. Now the new Android virtual machine can be started from the command line terminal. (This command can also be added to a menu item.)
emulator -avd Android4
- where Android4 is the name of the virtual machine created in the previous step.
- On less powerful computers, the startup of the emulator can be slow. Be patient.
Networking for Android SDK
Networking from the Android SDK virtual machine to my host computer's wired Ethernet connection was transparent upon installation. I required no additional configuration and all networking functions were operational.
Installing an app
- Once the Android emulator SDK is installed, install an app using these ADB instructions or directly from within an app marketplace (including Amazon App marketplace or F-Droid). The apps I tested (such as Words with Fiends) work without problems.
Netflix Android App
- A Netflix app for the Android market is available here or through the Amazon Appstore. The Netflix app requires Android 2.3 or later. In my Android 4.0.3 emulator the stock Netflix app (from the Amazon Appstore) successfully downloads and installs and I am able to login to my account and hear audio when streaming content, but no video. I have not yet tried the XDA-developers' version.
- A better solution is to use the Netflix in Wine bundle, which runs the Windows version of Netflix in a modified Wine environment. This solution works well.

Typing on a small mobile screen like that of the iPhone can be very cumbersome, so why not decrease the workload and let the software help you with the typing? A new jailbreak tweak called Octopus Keyboard by iOS developer Mario Hros will allow the keyboard to guess at the words you are most likely trying to spell so you don't have to manually type those words all the way out. With the way the keyboard works, you might feel like you're typing like an Octopus – hence the name.
The Octopus Keyboard uses the power of a dictionary to start auto-spelling words based on what you are typing into the text field. Any suggestions that the tweak can come up with are displayed above the letter that would be the next in the sequence of spelling a word. For example, if you type "nex" the word "next" would appear over the letter T as shown above. To have Octopus Keyboard automatically spell out a word suggestion instead of you having to type a word manually, you can swipe up on the key with the word suggestion above it – this is what might make you feel like you are typing the way an Octopus would.
Even though the word "next" is a small example and most people wouldn't mind tapping on the letter T instead of having Octopus Keyboard spell out the word next for you when you have "nex" already in the text field, the tweak works wonders with longer words that could save you anywhere between two and ten keystrokes per word. After some long use, Octopus Keyboard would save you a lot of time in typing. It also works in just about every application where you can enter text – both in Apple's stock applications and in third party applications.
Octopus Keyboard comes with a preferences pane that you will find in the Settings application where you can adjust the options of the tweak to make your own use of the tweak as personalized as you would like it to be:
The tweak comes with a kill switch that allows you to enable and disable the Octopus Keyboard on demand. You can also:
- manage your dictionaries (U.S. English by default)
- adjust how the text above the keyboard letters will appear
- choose how far you need to swipe up on the keyboard before a recommended word is typed out for you
- change the threshold of the recommended words
- adjust options for how the keyboard will learn the words you use
As a great tweak with a ton of options, Octopus Keyboard does a great job of making typing a lot less cumbersome from iOS and the recommendations are extremely accurate from our testing with the tweak. It supports most major languages except for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Anyone that is a slower typer would want to give this tweak a try because it can increase your typing speed if you are constantly text-messaging people or writing on social networking sites.

WTT: 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL600 - Also WTB specs
1st off in case anyone is interested in a trade.
The car is a black on black CL 600 - just hit 50k miles and just had service B done. The car mechanically is sound. The cars appearance is in near perfect shape. For an 01 its quite phenominal. V12 engine is amazing, the Rev band is so different then any other car.
The car doesn't have a salvage title but was a buyback from Benz from its 1st owner (I am the 3rd) I have had the car for over 6 months, and have not spent $1 on repairs. The previous owner did not spend anything on repairs.
The car just received BRAND NEW factory Pads/Rotors on the front, backs have 80+%. The front pads/rotors are over $475.
The tires have 85% tread conservatively.
The car has every available option from mercedes:
Heated Seats
Air conditioned Seats
Massaging Seats
Suede Roof
DTR (Distronic) BEST FEATURE The car brakes for you. Set the speed the car will slow down and speed up again all on its own. I will miss this feature more than you know. I never use the brake anymore, the car simply does it itself. It has a screen below the speedo that tells you how many feet the car is in front of you also.
Reverse parking sensor
The car also has the Brabus wheel package that came from Mercedes. Slotted rotors/ High polished wheels. To give you an idea this package alone is $4500
It also has the upgraded 03 LED tails.
Reason for trade: Simple I am an enthusiast. I don't keep cars longer then 6-9 months. There would be other things then an M3 I would trade for. I have already owned 2 Forced Induction C5 corvettes. Along with audis, 350zs, and numerous other cars.
I am not looking to pay any money really on a trade, so if you offer a trade be ballpark with my cars price.
The title doesn't show salvage but says buy back from Dealer.
Let me reiterate this.. a car that costs $135,000 new is owned by a person that would expect the car to run flawlessly. Before I bought the car I called MBUSA and asked the VIN to be run and see what they can tell me. Although they can't get too specific the gentleman on the phone said that because the price of the car, and the status of the owner that the car could be taken back for basically anything considering the price and would not want to lose business from the owner. I quote this and this is what sold me " From what I see here, there is nothing that would stop me from buying the vehicle" From the 2nd owner to me, I have not spent 1 $ on repairs. EVerything runs perfect on the car.
The interior is a 9/10
Exterior 8.75/10
Let me know if anyone is just interested in a straight up sale. I'd sell it straight up for 34.5k - slightly negot. dependin on how fast a sale/location of you etc can happen.
Car is located in NJ. Never driven in snow, have a Lincoln Aviator for that. I am a freak with my car care and process into buying. I assure you this vehicle is a great 1.
email@example.com is my email if interested to email.
Those are the 00-02 tails. I will get pics up if there is interest but the car is in real good shape for an 01. Those are the wheels I am talking about. Car looks like this with 03 tails

damn, i wish that my m3 was a little newer

Most I see are going for 40-45k. I am priced aggressively for a sale/trade. The car is amazing. When I say amazing, I have owned all types of cars (semi-exotics, suvs, luxury, full out muscle cars) and this car is the best of everything. I just miss a 6spd. For me, the past 3 years I have had a 6 spd for the spring/summer.

My Ride: ho's
what's a dealer buy back car? was it a lemon?
btw, that picture looks familiar, did u buy the car from that huge ebay store in TX?
Registered User
GeeTee: The pic is not of my actual car. But what it looks like. That is how my car looks with the wheels, color combo, etc. Except mine has the 03+ taillights. That was the only real visual difference from 03-06.
It was under Lemon (a dealer buyback) it has a few different names. Before I bought the car, I called MBUSA and gave them the VIN, and some other info. The gentlemen I spoke with said it had to do with a power windows issue. But couldn't get too specific. What sold me was after a while of reading something he said " From what I have here, there is nothing I see that would stop me from buying the car ". I have had the car for 7 months roughly, and have not had a problem at all. I just replaced the pads/rotors. Had the Service A done and the tires still have 85% tread conserv. The previous owner was a woman, and she had her friend sell it for her (he sells all high end vehicles). The women never experienced any problems. She was the 2nd owner and had it the majority of the car's life.
A Note to add: Many CL 500/600 were buybacks because of silly issues. You have to realize these cars were $95-135,000. They were also some of the 1st years they released this "supercar". So I am sure Mbenz were trying to get on the customers good graces.
If this car was a 6 spd manual - I would not be getting rid of it. It is by FAR the best car I have owned. Power, speed, handling, looks, luxury all in one. With air conditioned seats, suede roof, navi, and rear parking sensors. What more can you want. The car on the highway is an absolute bullet and is in phenomenal shape for an 01. And was driven only on average of 8500 miles a year. I almost beg you to check autotrader/ebay and see prices for an 01-02 CL600 with 40-60k miles sell for. There are a few in my price range, but they need services done soon which are $$$ and also might need tires, and when you replace pads you HAVE to replace rotors = $$$$. Plus you don't know who owned the car before if you buy from a dealer, and it very well is probably not in as great shape as this. The car might have dents, many deep scrapes, etc.
For 34k I don't see any other CL out there being a better buy, let alone a 600.
Heres a few pics I found, I forgot I had:

Do u know is the abc pump was replaced? If not then expect that to get replaced soon.. $3k..
Not trying to flame.. I owned a 00 CL500 last year for approximately for 4 months, before i decided to sell it.. It was clean title with only 36k miles i bought it from the original owner.. my abc pump was not going out but eventually will go out.. I sold it for 30k in dec 06
Sweet car but unless u got warranty expect to pay $$$.. since it has more electronics then a NASA rocket...
ALso one other thing i realized u have a cl600 if i recall correctly from mbworld.org that cl600 has a recall fix on the abc pump..
Registered User
Pump was taken care of, and it was under recall (I believe, but other way was taken care of). I am on mbworld I checked into alot of things before I bought the car.
And yes the car has alot of electronics - A buddy of mine is the owner of pinnacle motors in NJ. I had him check the car out. They are one of the best mercedes specialists in the Northeast. All there guys were flown to Germany/Cali to train on these type of cars. (SL, S, CL, CLS)

Here's another Spark Bits Weekly where I ask a panel of homepreneurs a blazing question about running and growing their businesses from home.
Today's Q:
What are some business resources you've used that has helped you run or launch projects for your internet home-based business? Which ones can you not do without?
Cindy Bidar from The Educated VA says:
I don't buy a lot of tools or other shiny objects, so my "must have" resources all revolve around people and connections. I've said many times that I would not be self-employed today if it weren't for the friends and mentors I've met through various events and forums.
My go-to place for learning everything about online business, from shopping cart setup to email marketing is SoloMasterminds. I've been a member for years, visit the forums every single day, and just can't say enough good things about Kelly and the rest of the man and women in that group. It's truly a treasure trove of information and support I could not do without.
For networking, my favorite is live events, and among those, NAMS is at the top of my list. I try to go every year, and it's been invaluable to me as my business grows. I've learned more than I'll probably ever put into practice, and met some of my best friends, business colleagues, and clients there.
Finally, staying connected with my market is equally important, and for that I rely on WordPress (naturally) and Aweber for email management. It's impossible to run a business online today without a website and an email marketing plan. These two resources make the task much easier.
Tishia Lee from Tishia Saves Time says:
Right now, things in my business are probably as simple as can be. In other words, I'm not doing anything "fancy" when it comes to products. I have a couple for sale and I've kept it really simple – just using a PayPal button to sell them. Eventually I'd like to switch to Amember but I'm not ready to make that big of a switch…need to get more serious about creating products and creating an affiliate program first (that's a whole other can of worms for a different time though).
So, to sum it up these are the tools I'm using:
- My website – obviously 😉
- PayPal
- Aweber – to collect the names/emails of purchasers to get them into my mailing list funnel
- 42 Day Launch Incubator
- Solo Masterminds – a 'safe' place I can go to ask an amazing group of smart, savvy internet marketers for feedback, suggestions, help and more when it comes to my sales page, product, etc. for sale
Like I said, I'm doing things pretty simple right now so there aren't a lot of tools I'm using.
Helena Bowers from Your Message Amplified says:
I've used a lot of different tools and resources over the years. The first thing I absolutely can't do without is a good HTML editor. The second would be a really good graphics program. I just recently took the plunge into the Adobe Creative Cloud so that I get the all in one package and can use it on whichever machine I happen to be working on. Right now my must-have pieces of that suite are Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Abobe Illustrator, but I'm looking forward to learning how to use all the other parts of it too.
Other tools and resources that are essential for keeping my business running are Evernote for keeping my notes and things organized, Dropbox for delivering files to clients, and Aweber for mailing list management.
The one piece of physical equipment I couldn't do without now (besides my computer, of course) is my Wacom tablet. My son got it for me for Christmas last year, and I love it for creating hand-written graphics and indulging my doodling habit. 🙂
Stephanie Watson from Barry Publishing says:
People — My most important resource to date is Solo Masterminds. Without this wonderful group I would not be as successful as I am. I would not be pushed to grow. I would not have the clients that I have. I feel that finding a group that will be honest with you, make you think, and share real knowledge with you is a true treasure. A good mastermind group will offer you challenge, potential for joint venture partnerships, and an honest mirror in which to view yourself. They'll kick your butt when you need it, and even sop up you tears sometimes too. They offer that connection to others that solopreneurs so desperately need.
Backup & File Storage — I cannot live without Dropbox (or something like it). I've mentioned before that in April of 2011 we ended up without power for two weeks. My external drive was destroyed. We were all fortunate to be alive, and had I had Dropbox fully functional at that point, recovering from this situation would be been a breeze. It's imperative that you have a cloud-based backup and file storage system. There are many out there, find one you like and use it, religiously.
Accounting, Bookkeeping & Invoicing — Currently I am using Go Daddy Bookkeeping along with Freshbooks to do my books and invoice my clients. They both work together and while I have a degree in business and know how to do bookkeeping the old fashioned way, my business is small enough that this works for me. If you have a bigger business and sell a lot of products though I would use something like QuickBooks Online instead.
Productivity & Project Management — I mostly use Dropbox but some of my clients use Basecamp and I love it. Anytime I am lucky enough to get a client who uses Basecamp I know it's going to work out swimmingly because they are organized. I am very deadline driven so it's important for me to have clear instructions, expectations of deliverables, and deadlines.
Simple Graphics — I am in love with Canva right now. I cannot live without. I use it for all kinds of things from social media memes to creating well laid out graphics for reports. I also love ImageMonthly because I get tips on using images, fonts, and usable graphics too.
Aside from WordPress, Word & Adobe Pro I think I can run a complete business with just these things. I can't pick one that I can live without. As my business grows though, I am starting to see the need for more integrated systems. I'm looking into Ontraport right now. I'm curious if anyone else is using it and how they feel about it?
Christa Jensen from ChristaJensen.com says:
There are many great resources out there to help those who want to work from home or are working from home. I will share my favorites, which are the ones that I have seen be the most useful in my business over the years.
Could not do without:
- Mentor Mamas Ultimate Goal Setting Guide
- SoloMasterminds Forum
- Image Software: Pxlr and Gimp are rising to the top of my list as favorite FREE software.
- Solosmarts 42 Day Launch Incubator
- Mentor Mamas Empower Your Website
I have also interned in a blogging course and have had a writing coach in the past, which proved very valuable for those who want to write well for the internet.
Samantha Pointer-Foxx from Get It Together says:
To run my business I rely on my iPad and a few favorite apps. The main one I use is Evernote to just brain dump into. I also use the Quickbooks Online app to keep up with accounting and to invoice my clients on the spot. I use the SproutSocial app to do all of my social media posting and to schedule posts. I use Google Drive, LiveDrive, Onedrive, MobilLogic and Dropbox to handle my files that I need on the go and for computer backup.
Now that you can get Microsoft products on the iPad, it is easy for me to work on documents. I use the Sunrise Calendar app to keep up with my appointments on all platforms. Because I do podcasting and blogging, my Samsung Note 3 is really indespensable when it comes to capturing audio, taking photos and jotting down quick ideas.
I use Soundcloud as well to give my audience quick organizing tips while on the go. These are just some of the apps and products I use on a daily basis to run my business.
Alicia Jay from New VA Advice says:
There are a couple of online tools that make working online so much easier for me. I've made an effort to keep my business mostly paperless, so all of these tools help in that area, and they also allow me the freedom to work anywhere I want.
The first and most important for me is Dropbox. I run my entire business out of Dropbox so that I can access it from any device whether it's my desktop, laptop or my phone. No matter where I am, I can access all of my information. It's also super handy because I have private folders set up with my clients so that we can easily share information.
Next we have Aweber. List building is such an important business-building tool and Aweber helps me do that without the need to be a master techie. It's easy to use and I can access it anywhere to schedule broadcast emails or set up autoresponders to help me work a little more passively in my business.
Then there is Evernote. It just has so many awesome uses. I have a folder for each of my businesses and then note sections underneath those filled with my to-do lists, things that I want to research and new product or course ideas. I can just open up Evernote to check my list for the day or grab ideas for a new project.
My Insights
Starting and running a business from home can invite some trials in setting up an infrastructure that systematizes your workflow. Lack of organization and distraction can easily penetrate the workday since there is a fine line between home and business life. At the end of the day, because you are running a real business, you'll need some resources to help you manage through the day. But depending on your business model, market, and personality traits 'must have' tools vary from person to person.
Many of the Sparkplugging advisors mentioned cloud services as a top priority in home business management. You can't beat being able to access all of your data online, no matter where you are. Long gone are the days you'll have to carry around a hard drive in order to get some work done.
For me, some resources I can't do without, are pretty much under the umbrella of Google. Tools like Gmail, Analytics, Adsense, You Tube and Web Search – who can live without using at least one of these right? From productivity to research tools and marketing, Google, more that likely, has a product for it. And the best part is that they are free to use.
Other must haves right now are things like Paypal for my payments, Rescue Time for productivity, Buzzsumo for social research, WordPress for website management and most recently I'm exploring the CamScanner app.
As technology evolves you will find yourself trying new things and adopting others. But in the grand scheme of things, as some of the Sparkplugging panel described, the ultimate resource is the people. Without them, on either side of the spectrum, you have no business. Shiny new toys will then become irrelevant.
Want to join the work at home movement? Here's your invite. Get some home business tips, resources & some occasional booty kicking…just saying:) You In?

LOS ANGELES -- Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is rolling out some of its most popular roasts in K-Cups for Keurig brewers. Highlighting the lineup is Café 63, a smooth, light-bodied roast with fruity aroma, which has been a staple since the southern, CA, coffeehouse chain opened its first location in 1963.
Costa Rica, with a balanced, crisp flavor and fragrant aroma, is a medium-bodied coffee sourced from high-altitude farms, where the climate and rich soils produce coffees that exhibit a bright, clean taste. Viennese Blend, a medium dark roast, is described as a mellow and smooth, with hints of chocolate. A toasted amaretto flavored coffee rounds out the new offerings.
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf announced a multiyear agreement with Keurig Green Mountain to make its brand available in K-Cups last May.

Earthquakes, oppression, floods and famine are just some of the targets of the Jesuit Universities Humanitarian Action Network, an initiative to educate undergraduates at Jesuit-run universities about the humanitarian crises such disasters cause and how best to respond to them. The initiative was formed as a result of discussions among Jesuits about students' enthusiasm for humanitarian efforts and the fact that such enthusiasm needs direction. "We felt that young people's passion for helping people wasn't being well-channeled. They would raise money to buy blankets or something and send them down to a crisis center, but it was an unsophisticated approach," said Rick Ryscavage, S.J., director of Fairfield University's Center for Faith and Public Life. The network intends to create an integrated curriculum in Jesuit schools world-wide to prepare undergraduates for careers in humanitarian work.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Tornado baseball squad was beaten, 12-2, Tuesday afternoon at Gil Coan Field by the No. 21 Flying Fleet of Erskine College. Combined with Erskine's 10-5 victory over the Tornados on February 19, the Fleet take the season series over Brevard.
Mike Moore (5-2; Lexington, S.C.) pitched seven innings and picked up the win, allowing two runs while fanning ten batters. Spencer Linn (2-4; Fletcher, N.C.) started and gave up four runs in an inning of work to take the loss. Linn left after just one inning after being hit by a pitch on the hand in the bottom half of the 1st.
Erskine put up a four-spot in the top half of the opening frame. John Bolding (Pickens, S.C.) and Mo Seay (Anderson, S.C.) tallied RBI doubles, with Seay's scoring two runs, and Brandon Garrett (Woodruff, S.C.) added an RBI single to make the score 4-0.
The game stayed 4-0 until the bottom half of the 6th, when the Tornados scored a pair. After Ben Pacey (Swain County, N.C.) led off the frame with a single, Matthew Pruitt (Hendersonville, N.C.) scored a run with a double to light up the Tornado half of the scoreboard. Two batters later, Stephen Mullis (Charlotte, N.C.) singled home Pruitt to make the score 4-2.
Erskine put some distance between themselves and the Tornados in the 8th. Seay came through with another two-run double, and Cody McElhaney (Beech Island, S.C.) added a run on a fielder's choice to make the score 7-2.
The Fleet broke the game open with five in the 9th. The big shot was a two-run double from Zach McCarthy (Spartanburg, S.C.) to put the final two runs on the board.
In addition to his RBI double at the plate, Pruitt tossed 6 1/3 innings on the mound and allowed three runs. Brice Warner (Clover, S.C.) was 3-5 at the plate and stole a base for Brevard, while Kellen Moman (Greenville, S.C.) added two hits.
Brevard is back in action Friday, when they play North Greenville in a doubleheader. The first game starts at 2 p.m. in Tigerville, S.C. The Flying Fleet play Catawba Wednesday night at 6 p.m. in Salisbury, N.C.

Either Color Flow Icing or Royal Icing can be used for decorating cookies. Both make briliantly colored icings and are used in the same way to decorate cookies (thicker icing for outlining and decorating details; thinner icing for "flowing in" icing between outlines.) Royal icing tends to dry more matte in appearance, while Color Flow Icing is a bit more shiny.

On the Shelf
A City of Phone Lines, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- A previously unpublished chapter of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—once "deemed too wild, subversive and insufficiently moral for the tender minds of British children"—is now available for your delectation. It features a jaunt into Wonka's Vanilla Fudge Room, where many wonders and precariously situated heavy machinery await. (Not an OSHA-compliant workplace, that chocolate factory.)
- Get Carter, Ted Lewis's 1970 crime novel, has just been reissued: "As far as classic hard-boiled fiction, Get Carter is sui generis, the place where British noir begins … there is no attempt to soften or sugarcoat … It is also, as the best noir always is, highly moral, although its morality is individual and distinct. What is important to us?, the book ponders. What do we need—are we willing—to sacrifice?"
- In praise of brevity in fiction: "shorter novels can often be a distillation of everything an author does best—which, in some cases, can spare you quite a lot of their more exacting or punishing work."
- "In the late 19th century, shortly after the patent of the telephone, the race was on to connect everyone to the phone grid … In Stockholm, Sweden, the central telephone exchange was the Telefontornet, a giant tower designed around 1890 that connected some 5,000 lines which sprawled in every direction across the city. Just by looking at historical photos it's easy to recognize the absurdity and danger of the whole endeavor … Everything that could possibly go wrong did."
- Revisiting "latitudes of acceptance," a social judgment theory from the sixties: "We all have these latitudes around our beliefs, our values, our attitudes, which teams are ok to root for, and so on, and these bubbles move. They flex. When you're drunk, or when you've had a good meal, or when you're with people you care about versus strangers, these bubbles flex and move in different ways. Getting two groups to work together is about trying to get them to a place where their bubbles overlap, not their ideas, not their beliefs, but the bubbles that surround their ideas."

Dear Khurshid,
Unfortunately, your question is not very well defined. The term
"Inefficiency" in Economics have many interpretations. It could be
inefficiency to society, in which case Banks are highly inefficient,
because they are discriminating Monopolies, it could be inefficiency
of the Bank, namely the Bank does not maximizes profit, and it could
be inefficiency in terms of rational expectation theory, namely price
movements in the market are not random.
Before you go on, my suggestion to you is to make some search of the
academic literature either in google scholar or econlit.

Fox Hypes Own Week-Long Obamacare Special, But Describes NBC's As "Propaganda"
Blog ››› ››› ANDREW LAWRENCE
Fox News criticized an upcoming NBC special intended to educate viewers about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as "propaganda," despite hyping Fox Business' week-long ACA special as a way to educate viewers about the "hideously complicated law."
On September 30, NBC News will begin airing a week-long series titled "Ready or Not, the New Healthcare Law," which NBC described in a press release as a way to "help Americans get the most out of the Affordable Care Act." The announcement comes as the ACA's health insurance exchanges are set to begin operations on October 1, and as significant confusion over the law remains.
On the September 30 edition of Happening Now, host Jon Scott opened a segment on the NBC special by stating: "A major news network accused of crossing the line from objective reporting to cheerleading when it comes to Obamacare." Scott concluded: "If Obamacare does not prove to be very workable, are you going to see that story covered on NBC?":
But while Scott ridiculed NBC's effort to educate their viewers on the Affordable Care Act as "cheerleading," and Fox News' website Fox Nation described the NBC special as "propaganda," hours earlier Fox & Friends praised a week-long special scheduled to air on Fox Business' The Willis Report. Host Elisabeth Hasselbeck opened the segment by praising the special, titled "A User's Guide To Obamacare," saying, "According to the most recent surveys, as many as 51 percent of Americans don't have enough information about the Affordable Care, so each day of this week we're going to help." Hasselbeck added, "Next week it's your week-long series, 'A User's Guide To Obamacare' -- thankfully, because we need it." At the conclusion of the segment, Gerri Willis, the host of the special, described the Affordable Care Act as a "hideously complicated law."
While Fox is accusing NBC of airing "propaganda" even before the special has appeared, Fox News and others in the right-wing media have spent the last three years spreading misinformation and propaganda about the health care law. Fox figures have ramped up the misleading attacks in the weeks leading up to the opening of insurance exchanges, and have also pressured Republican politicians to defund or repeal the law, even at the expense of shutting down the federal government.

Is retrieving data from the database faster or getting it from text files on the server. Each entry will have a different file and the file name can be something like the username or something which is known and the database wont have to be searched to get the filename.
Thank You
The filesystem will be faster with a small amount of files/records, but a database will scale much better. Having said that, the filesystem will never be perceptible faster (the difference would be measurable in milliseconds).
If a database is available, you're almost certainly better off going that way.
How big will the files be? Do you really want 1000s of files potentially a couple of MB in size, clogging up your database when they could be stored in a file system which surprisingly is designed for the storage of files?
A database is just a collection of files with a fast lookup system built in.
oh stephen, that's ridiculous
a "fast lookup system" indeed
I was just keeping it simple in connection with the question. It is basically a simple definition of what a database is though so it can't possibly be ridiculous.
The whole purpose of a database is to put a layer on top of the files that makes finding the required information from those files in a quick and efficient manner.
So with any significant amount of data the files with the extra layer that using a database provides will generally allow the data to be accessed more quickly than any search you wrote yourself to do the same lookup.
If using the extra layer provided by the database didn't make things quicker then people would write their programs to access the data directly bypassing that layer.
on the contrary, if there is any possibility at all, no matter how small--and there is!!!--then, yes, it is ridiculous
see, there you go again
the "whole" purpose? no, not even close -- what about enforcing relational integrity?
see what i mean? your over-simplification is ridiculous
if i've told you once, i've told you a million times, don't exaggerate!!!
this is ludicrous, as only a handful of extremely skilled engineers know how to read a database file natively
One thing I didn't think of until the reply after mine, was the scenario of storing the files themselves in the filesystem, and paths to those files in the database.
It's a slightly contentious issue among DBAs (and r937 will probably have a more informed opinion on this than I do, so I'll just present the options and leave value judgements out), but you can go one of two ways:
in that scenario, d, i would opt to store the files in the filesystem
the meta-data (file creator, description of contents, keywords, tags, number of hits, et cetera) would of course be supremely suited for database storage and searching
the only advantage i can think of that storing files as BLOBs gives you is that the backup strategy is rather simple -- just back up the database, no worries about synchronizing the database backup with the filesystem backup
the disadvantages, of course, are legion
Another advantage to the BLOB approach is that access to those files is now regulated by the DBMS, there's no need to duplicate it in the FS and possibly have to recreate it if the database moves to another server (and possibly a different FS).
Flat file databases, heirarchical databases, network databases, and object oriented databases don't even have the concept of relational integrity to enforce. So since referential integrity as a concept isn't even a part of most database model theory there in no way that the implementation of those databases would even attempt to enforce it. Only with a relational database is referential integrity even a concept that the database might choose to enforce and in many cases even relational databases do not properly enforce referential integrity (eg. it is impossible to properly enforce referential integrity where any fields in the database are allowed to exist without having a specific value in the field).
Obviously if you are not going to use the database layer of a particular database model then you'd use a different format for the actual data. Each database uses its own internal file format based on what the actual database processing layer is going to need and so in many cases your generalisation is completely wrong since the data in many database models is designed to be able to be read directly as well as via the database calls. Again you are limiitiing yourself to a specifiic implementation of a database rather than considering databases in general.
A flat file IS a database where you get to build your own access layer on it and so if you built it properly then that database would be the quickest way of accessing your data. So the question of database versus flat file where a flat file can be a database is a rather meaningless question anyway.
You are obviously taking a very narrow view as to just what a database is that only includes one particular database model since relational integrity is not even considered for most types of databases since those models don't require referential integrity as a part of that model.
Providing a standard way of accessing the data that will be the quickest way under normal circumstances is the ONLY thing that all the different types of database have in common.
stephen, give it a rest
i have years of experience with IMS and IDMS (precursors to the relational model)
you're just back-pedalling, as usual
(eg. it is impossible to properly enforce referential integrity where any fields in the database are allowed to exist without having a specific value in the field)....
Again you are limiitiing yourself to a specifiic implementation of a database rather than considering databases in general...
So the question of database versus flat file where a flat file can be a database is a rather meaningless question anyway.i'm calling you out, this is just more of your bafflegab and bullcrap
Those aren't precursors to the relational model.
IMS is a heirarchical database that has no connection to relational databases whatsoever and no way to build any meaningful relational layer onto it.IDMS was a network database the last time I used it (admittedly 20 years ago) it may have had a relational database layer tacked on since then but I'd expect that it would still be able to be used as a network database.
Neither heirarchical nor network databases enforce referential integrity.
When I first learnt to use IMS there was a lot made of how selecting the appropriate file structure with the database in order to allow the database to access the data in the most efficient manner. The same sort of information was also presented with regard to IDMS. When I first learnt about relational databases the point was made that the difference between a network and a relational database is that a relational database has an optimiser built in whic optimises the access to the data so as to make it as efficiently as possible based on what is known about the data.
With every database that I have ever worked with (including those I used before learning IMS and the several relational databases I have worked with since) the main point that has always been emphasised as to why a database is used rather than accessing the data in the files directly is all down to providing a consistent and FAST method of handling all the different sorts of access requests. You can write your own access module to handle a specific query on a flat file that works more efficiently than a database call but any other accesses to that data will then be less efficient than using a database would have been.
So I'll repeat the correct information that I said in my first post A database is just a collection of files with a fast lookup system built in. That remains a correct summary regardless of what names anyone calls me for stating it that way. Everything else I've said in this thread explains what that sentence means in more detail.
A database need not have multiple files (a MySQL InnoDB database has only one data file, in-memory databases have none), precursor does not mean "implements the relational model", and fast lookup is not a universal property or goal of all databases. When you get called out for making things up, and you know the people calling you out aren't likely to be ignorant about the subject, maybe you could back down sometimes. It'd save a lot of writing.
I was considering which way to go myself for file storage, i went for storing it in the file system and recording the necessary info (file type, mine, etc) in a db table.
With regard to storing them in BLOBs, what would you do if you had to move servers and for whatever reason BLOBs were not supported, you'd be screwed. By storing them in the file system you don't have to worry about that. Say you were storing photos and say they were about 5MB each (they would probably be bigger files than that with the number of megapixels really modern cameras have), would you want a few thousand or even a few hundred of them clogging up your database? I wouldn't.
By keeping the files in the file system they wouldn't necessarily have to be kept on the same server, which would give a bit more flexibility as to data backup. What happens if your database becomes (for whatever reason) corrupted beyond recovery, if you store the files in the database, you loose absolutely everything but if you store them in the file system, you will have still lost your database but you will still have the files.
It also opens the possibility of offloading the file storage to a 3rd party like Amazon S3 while running the database locally, or serving the files from a web server optimized for static files rather than the one running the application/code.
I think most popular/serious DBMSs have this, but the differences between them would be a pain, as well as some of the arbitrary limitations that aren't imposed by a decent filesystem. I might be wrong, but I think Postgres has a 1GB limit.
would you want a few thousand or even a few hundred of them [image files] clogging up your database? I wouldn't.
I'm not sure what the difference would be in this case. I don't see how they'd "clog up" a database any worse than they'd clog up a filesystem.
By keeping the files in the file system they wouldn't necessarily have to be kept on the same server, which would give a bit more flexibility as to data backup.
Wouldn't a distributed database give you the same option?
What happens if your database becomes (for whatever reason) corrupted beyond recovery
That's more of an arbitrary "what if". What if the filesystem becomes corrupt? What if, because of a lack of proper locking, the files become corrupt by two simultaneous writes?
Found this, it is an intresting read. Looks like flickr store there images in their file system. I dread to think how huge their database would be if they stored the actual images in it (or how long it would take to execute queries).
With suitable indexing I can't see how it would affect query speed in any significant way.
AFAIK, the DB would only store a pointer to the BLOB data in each row, so the table would still have similar performance characteristics as only storing a filename. Only when the final result set needs to be returned does it need to follow that pointer and get the BLOB data off disk.

Aussie girl, 10, survives shark attack
(NEWSER) – A 10-year-old girl was attacked by what may have been a shark off Australia's east coast and suffered an injury to her hand, officials said today. Paramedics were called to a beach at Lennox Head, 120 miles south of Brisbane, after receiving a report the girl had been bitten on the wrist, a spokeswoman for the New South Wales state ambulance service said. Paramedics treated the girl at the scene and took her to a local hospital, where she was later reported in stable condition.

3 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not) - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Put down the 10-K filings and the stock screeners. It's time to take a break from the traditional methods of generating investment ideas. Instead, let the crowd do it for you.
Crowdsourcing has long been a popular tool for the advertising industry, but it also makes a lot of sense as an investment tool. After all, the market is completely driven by the supply and demand, so it can be valuable to see what names are trending among the crowd.
While some fund managers are already trying to leverage social media resources like Twitter to find algorithmic trading opportunities, for most investors, crowdsourcing works best as a starting point for investors who want a starting point in their analysis. Today, we'll leverage the power of the crowd to take a look at some of the most active stocks on the market today. >>5 Dividends in Peril Right Now These "most active" names are the most heavily-traded names on the market -- and often, uber-active names have some sort of a technical or fundamental catalyst driving investors' attention on shares. That's especially true now that earnings season is a week away. And when there's a big catalyst, there's often a trading opportunity.
Without further ado, here's a look attoday's names.
Nearest Resistance: $9.60
Nearest Support: $8.75
Catalyst: Redemption of Trust Securities
>>5 Leanest and Meanest Bank Stocks
Meanwhile, Bank of America (BAC) is having a good day today. Shares of the big bank are up nearly 2% after announcing that it would be redeeming $5.13 billion in trust securities, income investments that banks have historically issued to build their Tier 1 capital. New regulatory changes have made trust securities a less attractive deal for banks, so BofA's decision to redeem the securities is good news for investors. It means that BofA isn't paying out interest rates as high as 7.83% anymore.
From a technical standpoint, Bank of America looks interesting as well. While shares hit resistance in early September at $9.60, shares have recovered for the last month, setting up for another attempt at taking out that $9.60 resistance level.
While I'm not a big fan of the big banks for fundamental reasons (namely black-hole balance sheets), traders may want to jump into BAC if shares break out above $9.60.
Bank of America also shows up on a recent list of 10 Most Profitable Banks Trading Below Book Value. Citigroup
Nearest Resistance: $38
Nearest Support: $35
Catalyst: Technical Setup Citigroup (C) is one of those stocks that makes a perennial appearance on the list of the most active stocks out there. But even though big news isn't sparking a wave of buying and selling in Citi today, the technical setup that we're seeing in shares is worth talking about right now.
>>5 Bank Stocks Bernanke Can't Hurt Anymore
From a technical standpoint, Citigroup looks a whole lot like Bank of America – not a huge surprise since they're two very comparable companies in the same industry. The big difference with Citi is that this stock broke out above its corresponding resistance level today, putting the stock a step ahead BofA. The breakout means that buyers are in control of Citi here.
While I'd offer the same caveat about buying C that I did for BAC, this stock looks like a good near-term upside mover.
Citigroup also shows up on a recent list of 3 Banks Running Out of Steam From UBS. Avon Products
Nearest Resistance: $21.50
Nearest Support: $16.50
Catalyst: Board Change
Finally, Avon Products (AVP) is up close to 6% as I write, following news that former CEO Andrea Jung would be stepping down as executive chairman of Avon's board. Shares fell hard and profits declined during Jung's time as CEO, and many investors felt that her presence as executive chairman of the board meant that Avon wasn't giving its old approach a clean break. While her exit as a board member at the end of the year is a big shift, Jung will continue to be a special advisor to the board starting in 2013.
From a technical standpoint, this stock looks attractive. Shares have been basing for most of the last few months, and following today's break higher, shares are much closer to support than they are to resistance. That tips the risk/reward in favor of buyers in October. For folks who decide to buy, I'd recommend keeping a protective stop nearby.
