1999/6/7-8 [Recreation/Media] UID:15914 Activity:insanely high
6/6     I finally saw Star Wars this weekend.  After hearing all the bad
        reviews I walked in with a very low expectation.  And walked out
        feeling pretty much the same.  A few questions:
        1.  How old is Anakin and the Queen in the movie?  Anakin would be
            quite a stud having sex with an older woman at such a young
            age.  :-)
            \_ He: 9. She: 14. Next movie = 10 years later.
               \_ man, if I got to bang some of the 24 year olds I knew
                  when I was 19 ...
                  \_ *Shrug*.  I did.  Wasn't that big a deal.  It was better
                     being 24 fucking all the 19 year olds.  By 24 they start
                     demanding things.  At 19 you fuck em, wipe your dick off
                     on their face, drink the last beer in their fridge and go
                     home.  Maybe get them to send over their friend for next
                     time.
        2.  If you didn't read any of the reviews, would you remember the
            name of the character played by Liam Neeson?
            \_ Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (the "u" is silent)
              \_ am i on crack or did Qui-Gon introduce himself as "QUY-GON"
                 when everyone else was calling hime "QUEE-GON"? -ali
            \_ I watched the reviews and still couldn't get his name straight.
                \-ditto --psb
            \_ It would've helped if even one character didn't mumble it.  I
               don't think *any* of the actors knew what it was either.
        3.  What was George Lucas smoking when he created Jar Jar Binks?
            \_ Is it me or did anyone else think the little kid was also
               annoying?
            \_ What was Lucas smoking when he created 3PO?
                \_ At least 3PO spoke English so his screen time wasn't an
                   absolute and total waste and he didn't get any real long
                   term screen time the way the Jamaican Frog Man did.
            \_ Ewoks
            \_ Jamaicans
                \_ Hey, let's convince all the silly wetbacks that we
                   haven't been oppressing them all these years, then
                   send them all, unarmed, against the laser-toting
                   people with funny accents.  People with funny accents
                   are stoopid.  Then we can capture someone with no real
                   power at all and pretend that we just accomplished
                   something.                                     -sax
        4.  The one memorable line I got was "There was no father."  How
            about you?  What do you remember?
            \_ I remember all the lines from the previews. As a product,
               the previews were much better made than the final movie.
                \_ when nearly all the scenes from the previews showed up in
                   the first 15 min, i had high hopes exciting unanticipated
                   plot twists...  but alas
                        \- to me that wasnt a memorable line ... that was
                        "heavyhanded crap" ... that is also one of the examples
                        i use again the "defense" "it was a movie for 8yrs old"
                        the religious crap [or the microbial theory of the
                        force] didnt belong in a movie for 8yr olds. --psb
                        \_ huh?, that's scientific reasoning to explain
                           religious crap like the force. you got it
                           the other way around.
                           \_ You're clearly too stupid to understand the
                              Eternal Wisdom of the psb.  --psb #1 Fan
                 \_ Dude, Jesus was a Jedi master!  Jesus, I am your father...
                    Join with me and you will have power over the souls of
                    everyone who ever lived and died....
                    This is not the whore you're looking for...
        \_ For added effect, I said "motherfucker" after each line that
           Samuel L.J said. What was his character's name? It wasn't
           mentioned in the movie.
                \_ mace windu
                \-i-be-won-bad-motherfucker --psb
                   \_ it's obi-won-motherfucka
                      \_ this isn't as funny
                \_ http://www.jedinet.com/cinema  Look at Kung Fu Kenobi's Big
                   Adventure.
        \_ WTF was up with the tax dispute?  When the opening storyline was
           scrolling by, I couldn't believe I'd just read some BS about a tax
           dispute.  I actually re-read the opening lines a few times to make
           sure I hadn't mis-read something.  Lucas was smoking crack and
           surrounded by sycophantic fools on this one.  Was there no one to
           say, "George, that's a really stupid idea."?
        \_ Nobody watches Star Wars because it's a brilliant movie (you're
           pretty stupid if you do) - look at episodes 4, 5, and 6. But
           they're classic movies, have cool special efects, are part of
           American culture, and are reminiscent of childhood (if you're
           old enough).
        1.  How old is Anakin and the Queen in the movie?  Anakin would be
            quite a stud having sex with an older woman at such a young
            age.  :-)
            \_ He: 9. She: 14. Next movie = 10 years later.
        2.  If you didn't read any of the reviews, would you remember the
            name of the character played by Liam Neeson?
            \_ Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (the "u" is silent)
        3.  What was George Lucas smoking when he created Jar Jar Binks?
            \_ Is it me or did anyone else think the little kid was also
               annoying?
            \_ What was Lucas smoking when he created 3PO?
            \_ Ewoks
        4.  The one memorable line I got was "There was no father."  How
            about you?  What do you remember?
            \_ ``Wipe them out. All of them.''
               ``At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi.''
               ``This is getting worse, now there are two of them!''
               ``Are you braindead? I'm not going in there! Send a droid.''
               ``Who do you think you are, eh? Some kind of Jedi, waving
                 your hand around like that?''
            \_ Okey Day!
            \_ "How vewy wude!"
                "Yippee!"
1999/6/7-9 [Computer/Networking, Computer/SW/OS/Solaris, Computer/SW/Unix] UID:15915 Activity:high
6/7     My Solaris 2.6 Ultra 5 machine is in a weird state.  It's out of
        sockets!  I do a netstat and there are 32,000+ sockets, most of them
        from a port on localhost to another port one on localhost.  And
        most of them are in the TIME_WAIT state.  But they are not being
        reclaimed.  lsof doesn't help.  The TIME_WAIT ports don't show up.
        Any ideas on how I candiagnose this?  Is the TIME_WAIT timeout
        configurable?  Can I turn on more logging?  I've shut down all
        major user processes and the sockets are still not being
        reclaimed.  Any help would be appreciated.  I don't want
        to reboot until I've learned as much as I can.  Thanks.
                                                        -- azarm
                \-do you know what client programis causing this
                [it isnt ldap by any chance is it?] if this is a machine
                you are root on, i might know how to deal with it [which is
                slightly different than fix it]. will let you know if i can
                remember the exact ndd magic. --psb
                \_ ummm.  also make sure you check the recommended patch
                  list for 2.6 before you start jumping through hoops like
                    the overworked stunt animal that you are :)
                \_ Sounds like a classic half-open attack.  Remote machine
                   sends all sorts of spoofed 127.0.0.1 connections, and
                   most OS's don't see that you can't have 127.0.0.1 stuff
                   coming in the Ethernet interface.  Solution: do a
                   deny on 127.0.0.1 on your incoming router, or block
                   it with natd or ipfilter or something.
        \_ I did more research.  14000 of the sockets are to a port that's
           snmpdx is using (an SNMP daemon process).  1000 are ftp sockets
           to a known machine and another 1000 are sendmail sockets to
           another known machine.  I have nightly script to mail and ftp.
           The scripts work fine (without socket leakage) on other machines.
                \_ Checked your patch level lately?
            \_ tcp sockets to a snmp port?  UH, no -- SNMP runs on UDP. -ERic
        \_ TIME_WAIT sockets don't count against the 1024 limit. -ausman
