Malaspina (film)

Malaspina is a 1947 Italian melodrama film directed by Armando Fizzarotti and starring Vera Rol, Aldo Bufi Landi and Rino Genovese. It is a melodrama, based on a popular song of the same name. Its story of female wrongdoing and ultimate redemption was characteristic of Neapolitan-style cinema. A young woman promises to be faithful to her lover when he goes off to fight in the Second World War. However, in his absence she becomes a prostitute and takes up with a notorious criminal. When her real love returns he kills her new boyfriend. Deeply ashamed of her conduct, she becomes a nun.

Cast
gollark: So, firstly, is your terminal server connected to the, er, server, in the rack GUI?
gollark: Well, maybe not that slow, I don't know the exact details of OC networking, but at least would make latency a bit higher, and stress any relays you use.
gollark: 4 drives to a server would allow... 12MB? each, which is much more than you can do now, and would give each node a decent amount of computation power (especially with data cards), but splitting everything across the network would be sloooow.
gollark: You could possibly make some sort of storage clustering thing - servers can have 4 drives each, after all, and use all of them for remote-accessible storage if they network-boot with an EEPROM.
gollark: But accessed as one peripheral *from another computer*, I mean.
