if the company had something they were paying 70% tax on and found a loophole to only pay 10% tax then everyone else must pay more taxes to make up for the difference.
"Loophole" is spin-speak for "Congress legally may not tax the company at 70% if they take certain action". It astounds me that congress has created tax incentives, but you're super evil if you actually take advantage of them.
I wasnt saying that "all note taking is active", i was saying that active styles are more effective and that for many (such as myself) the note-taking is a way of thinking about and engaging with the lecture.
Yes, it is possible to passively take notes, and for me it is not very helpful to do so. But (for me and for many I've talked to) taking notes while thinking on what the professor / speaker / preacher is saying is a strong way of thinking about, reflecting on, and committing to memory what is being said.
VMWare is the "market leader" by most metrics and most reports, and its ignorant to pretend that thats by chance or luck. They're overpriced, but theyre also generally considered "the best".
It is generally a political no-win to "cut" things because people on both sides will demonize the attempt.
It doesnt change the fact that if your debt is growing, the responsible thing is not to add new spending until you have cut more than that from your existing budget.
Of course, the responsible thing is also to have a budget to begin with, but I suppose baby steps...
A) Im a fiscal conservative, so perhaps be careful with those broad statements-- theyre not true.
B) If the majority cannot agree to lower spending on defense, then it doesnt happen. But fiscally it is a TERRIBLE idea to say "well, we werent able to lower costs, but we're going to spend on this other thing anyways".
"Not paying further taxes" =/= "the taxpayers are paying for it".
The massive difference that many dont get is, "taxes" arent the "normal state". The normal state is that you earn money and can use it as you see fit, then the government is PERMITTED to take some taxes off of that.
So if a company is taxed at 10% instead of 70%, that doesnt mean theyre "robbing the taxpayers" to the tune of 60%; it means that the government is currently only permitted to levy a 10% tax on them.
My VCP course was done with the entire classroom's individual ESXi clusters being vApps running on Esxi, and the professor demonstrated similar in VMWare workstation. There are a number of uses, such as testing and labs.
And no, you are not correct. Hyper V will simply not run if it does not have access to hardware virtualization. VMWare is able to virtualize the virtualization extensions so that a nested hypervisor can use them.
It's just a exam-passing technique, but it won't help you understand better and certainly will not help you hold on to more knowledge beyond the date of the exam you are studying for.
Maybe for you, but it sounds like you havent taken many notes, and it certainly sounds like you can only speak for yourself.
For me and many that I know, taking notes can be a way of summarizing and processing the information coming in. By restating what the teacher says in a different way, and by taking it down, one is re-committing it to memory in a more lasting way than passively sitting in the classroom.
IIRC its not even up for debate that "active" learning styles are on the whole more effective than passively listening to a lecture.
There could be a lot of reasons for using VMWare. Concerns about security, features that OpenVZ doesnt support (like private VLAN, DPM, or distributed switching), the need for non-linux systems or alternate kernels, the need for vendor support (ie SAN integration), etc.
Im still not 100% clear on whether or not the shared kernel used by OpenVZ presents a security problem, but from what Ive read the answer appears to be "yes"-- compromise the guest kernel and it sounds like you could potentially compromise all containers.
When you say "VMWare is crap", by what metric is that?
Can you name another hypervisor that will happily allow you to nest ESXi, and then within that XenServer? Or Hyper-V (which will generally refuse to even install on another hypervisor)?
They weren't twitchy, blow-things-up-to-solve-problems games.
Baloney, Smash TV, Doom, etc also existed. Myst was a one-of-a-kind game, and Im sure there are plenty of examples today.
Off the top of my head, Minecraft is one of the most popular recent games, and its hardly a "blow things up to solve problems" type of game, unless you really like provoking creepers.
I am not convinced there is a reliable system short of market forces for rooting out
* People who would take advantage of the system (whatever it is)
* People who would charge unreasonable rates (of course, insurance seriously hampers this)
* Underachievers
Ok. Then reduce the defense budget first, because thats how responsible budgeting works: you start by reducing expenditure, and THEN you talk about using that money elsewhere.
Research is good no doubt. The problem is, as always, that there are limited resources, and sometimes using those resources responsibly means saying "no" to an expenditure that you may really really want to make.
For instance (to use an extreme example), if we were talking "Zimbabwe", and you were to say "they should definately invest in space research", I might respond that, while true, their limited resources should be spent on their many more pressing issues.
We're not Zimbabwe, but we do need to watch how much we spend, and we already spend huge amounts on medical research. It would be inaccurate to make a dichotomy between "providing more funding for BRAIN" and "doing no research like this".
This is the huge irony of Microsoft et al trying to create panic over Google's privacy issues; of all the large online service providers, Google is up there as one of the best in regards to reliability, privacy, etc.
But no, lets all ditch Google for Bing because of privacy issues. Everyone knows that Bing is lots better (when theyre not cooperating with the Chinese gov't).

Youre using Virtualbox, and comparing it to VMWare. Not really apples to apples; VBox certainly can randomly crash.
Ubuntu server doesnt include Unity, or GDM, or even X.

These kind of comments are worthless when liberals make them, what makes them any better when a conservative does?
Mods, please bury this crap.
So, "we're already spending money hand-over fist in a bad way, whats another few hundred million between friends"?
THATS the way to solve budgeting issues!

Tell you what, why dont we meet in shanghai. Call me when you arrive, Im taking a plane.
I desperately hope that they use this solution-- it sounds both reasonable and exceedingly amusing to watch.
It can think that, but will find out otherwise when the Romanian institution in question gives the US the middle finger.
And when that somewhere is "we-dont-care-what-the-FBI-says" China or Romania, then what?
Because physics is discriminatory as well, and requires more energy to propel more mass.
