Four ½ Stars

Another one I never heard of. Inglorius Bastards

Never saw it; never heard of it.  Saw it on cable last night and couldn't put it down.  Didn't know it was Quentin Tarantino until the end credits, but should have given the bizarre at times pulp fiction feel.  Not that it mattered, but the Hitler and Churchill actors  resembled their characters not at all.  All the rules broken.  I loved it.  Carry on.

When Rover is Over

Signals I know when my dog's countdown began. It's when she realized she ain't catching that bird, and quit trying. It's only recently learnt that men are no different. Sigh. I mean woof. Wait! I can still wag my tail. Crap. Never mind. Throw me a biscuit. A soft one. Dammit. My legs are gone.

Cultural Rot

“ Officials in Hawaii say they have seen and verified Obama's original 1961 birth certificate, which is on record with that state. But birthers have not been satisfied with that assurance or the "Certification of Live Birth" Obama has released, a digital document that is a record of a person's birth in the state but that does not list the name of the hospital where his mother gave birth or the physician who delivered him. Court Hears Greeley Army Doc's Deployment Refusal Case ” A patently false, and proved false lie.  Yet more from the same rotted culture that bought into global warming, asbestos hype, second hand smoke, TWA 800, and the most unqualified leader imaginable..  Lalalalala

Air Force Unveils Fastest Defense Supercomputer, Made of 1,760 PlayStation 3s

Let's see if I can get this right.  A teraflop is 1000 billion flops and a petaflop is 1000 trillion, so the Playstation computer is a ½ petaflopper.  “ The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has strung together 1,760 PlayStation 3 gaming systems to create what it’s calling the fastest interactive computer system in the entire DoD, capable of executing 500 trillion floating point operations per second. At a total cost of about $2 million, the AFRL estimates the cluster costs something like five to 10 percent of equivalent computers built from scratch. It also consumes just 10 percent of the power. The array employs the older model PS3s (the larger ones) because new models don’t allow the installation of Linux, a key component for turning the consoles into pliable computing hubs. The AFRL will use the Condor Cluster for quickly processing high-res satellite imagery, radar enhancement, and even research into artificial intelligence. [Full]

W.H. to Olbermann: No Nazis, please

“ White House press secretary Robert Gibbs advised the liberal commenter Keith Olbermann on Monday to refrain from using comparisons to Nazi Germany after the MSNBC host likened President Obama’s deal on tax cuts to Nazi appeasement. “Whenever you compare anything to what the Nazis did, if you ever get to that point in your speech, stop, because nothing does, and hopefully, God willing, nothing ever will,” Gibbs told reporters.  Asked if Obama heard Olbermann’s “special comment,” Gibbs replied, “I doubt the president heard that.” [Politico] ” What a zoo.
