Red Hat, Novell To Package Xen

robyannetta writes "Watch out VMware and Microsoft. Here comes Xen, an open-source virtualization for the Linux environment being pushed by Red Hat and Novell. Xen has also joined forces with leading Linux distributors, chip vendors and platform vendors to create a consortium that will more broadly enable open-source virtualization development and deployment." We've covered Xen before, but it's cool to see the momentum behind it growing, as more choice is a Good Thing.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleagured North Korean community when Xinhua confirmed that Kim Jong Il portrait buttons were no longer being sported by North Korea's citizens. Recently the North Korean News Agency has discontinued referring to the miniscule despot as "dearest leader" in recent dispatches, only referring to him as "general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the DPRK National Defense Commission and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army." Coming on the heels of recent intelligence regarding prominent, giant portraits of Kim Jong Il being removed for "restoration" but never being replaced serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Kim Jong Il is dying.
    You don't need George W. Bush's sexed up intelligence to invade North Korea. The invasion has already begun and it's coming from within the DPRK funded by Chinese money. Things are looking very bad for Kim Jong Il.
    The citizens stand to gain the most in light of recent, covert events. More food, more energy, better medicine and the potential for reunification. With the potential for light at the end of a long, relentless tunnel only serves to more clearly underscore the point. Kim Jong Il is dying.
    Let's look at the news. Kim Jong Il has the world's largest collection of Daffy Duck cartoons. Daffy Duck is a cartoon character who can not win against the more charismatic and intelligent Bugs Bunny. Kim Jong Il identifies with Daffy Duck and is doomed to continual failure. Unlike America's Glorious Leader George W. Bush, Kim Jong Il is struggling to ride his father's Stalinist coattails. Already cannibalism in North Korea has fallen back to the 1994 low of 39% per capita. Kim Jong Il maintains a vast harem of foreign women. It's a proven statistic that nobody wants to fuck Northern Korean women which means there are no instances of HIV. HIV is carried by foreign women. Do the math. Already clandestine shipments of AZT have been dropped behind the DMZ and spirited away into the night.
    All major intelligence agencies and international news organizations are closely following the story. Kim Jong Il is very sick and his long-term survival prospects are slim to none. If the DPRK remains standing, it will only be in the hearts and minds of thoroughly brainwashed North Korean supersoldiers bred to stave off the South Korean threat of zerg rushes kekekeke gogogogogogo
    Fact: Kim Jong Il is dying.
