If you want to use Xen, I suggest RHEL 5 or CentOS 5. They both have support of libvirt which provides an API to work with Xen and other virtualization technologies. Additionally, RH has provided the "tools" which many seek.
Also I saw a web application that seems to support plenty of virtualization technologies and is accessible via browser. I cannot recall its name at this time, however.
I have also tried Citrix's XenServer which appears to be a customized version of RHEL 5. Their tag-line of "10 minutes to Xen" isn't off base at all. You can really be setting up VMs within minutes. It does include 'yum' but I've found the default repositories to have nil in the way of updates. So 'borked' package updates aren't likely. I have found that it performs well on a single-server instance. But have been unable to test it in a multi-server pooled environment. Although it has the capability. That said, XenServer does seem to be focused on a more virtualized Windows environment.
Yeah, thats not too difficult for those more advanced users. But what about the novices who want to get in on the cracking too? those are the people who get caught. The person who receives a disc from their mate at work | school | strip club. Those people run home, install the app, don't know how to block FNPLicensingService.exe from talking to the world, and they unwittingly report themselves.
How Windows-like is that? I need a third party application to protect me from evil software companies who want to steal my money in court?

Furthermore, can the boys be charged for receipt of something they did not have the option to reject? I don't know about you, but I don't have a choice to reject an SMS on my phone, it just accepts it no matter what.
I agree with this sentiment. There is no way to reject such SMS messages. That said, the kid probably saved it. So that would provide reason to believe he was interested in keeping it.
You might want to look into a JSON object being returned. It could be more extensible. Although if you're controlling the output and how it is used, it may not be a huge deal.:)
Unfortunately the majority of the Windows users(I mean) fanboys have already jumped on this and exclaimed, "See!?!?!?! I _told_ you Linux was bad for you!"
I still have a Quantum Fireball 10GiB running in my pfSense internet gateway box. They keep on keepin' on.:) I can vouch.
I've lost a few 80GiB Maxtors over the years. I've had a few Maxtors that didn't like to live in a RAID array and would just drop out every 24 hours. Seagate techs (level 3) were pretty good to talk to, though. It is fairly easy to get past their Indian level 1 and 2 techs.
I work for $LARGE_US_DEFENSE_INSTALLATION where the policies are in place, nobody follows them, and the 2 guys that are in charge of risk and infosec are so overloaded with "password reset" requests that they can't even look at the performance of those policies. Furthermore, if they wanted to change something, they'd have to wait for a bi-weekly configuration control board meeting, where the four other division chiefs would quickly shut down any project they propose because it would be too much work. and their people already have too much on their plates, etc... you name it. Its happening there.
I might remove my routers' DNS override of thepiratebay and other torrent sites just to download it!;p
(I'm not about to let my wife get me litigated because she can't resist downloading Sneakers ISOs. True story: She got a cease and desist letter from the cable company for downloading the Sneakers ISO. How ironic.)
She doesn't have a broadband wireless card, she has DSL. This is different. In Verizon's efforts to save money by allowing the users to install the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) rather than sending out techs to set it up, they added a "wizard on CD" to walk the customer through setting it up.
So the paper flier that you find when you open your box of gear, says, "Please insert the CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions." So, in an effort to save money, VZ has alienated customers who don't know they don't need the CD.
Besides TFA shows that the news channel contacted Verizon and they're sending a tech out to set it up for her.
So, rather than talking to Verizon about the problem, or her school, she just bitched an moaned until the local news station took a negative Linux is bad spin on it. The school, (after talking with the reporter) has agreed to accept her work in whatever format she can provide.
Not to mention, if she had insisted with DELL that she wanted to return the laptop for one with windows, she could have done so.
So in conclusion, I believe that this is a simple case of laziness and should be chalked up to "provide-more-documentation-in-the-users-face".
Lets make a little video that runs on the first boot that shows the user how to use the system as it comes pre-configured? If they want to watch it, great, if not, they can close it. But perhaps it should live on their desktop so they can watch it again if they "accidentally" closed it prematurely.
I guess the idea is that you don't have to wait as long. Which to some people is probably worth something. (time? money?)
If it is really being used to audit your passwords, then time is important. The auditor has other places to be, and other things to do. So waiting for the brute force attack to go through is just non-value-added. So reducing that time is important.
Technically? Yes, it is a problem. You should not be receiving segfaults from a stable release-ready application. Especially one that has been around the block like Kopete. That is unfortunate.
I like Pidgin because it is lightweight. If I want to do video chat, I launch Skype which ironically uses QT4.
Then again, I use Gnome. I've had difficulty with KDE + Dual Head in the past. Gnome seems to handle it better.
Yes. But the information isn't insignificant. The fact that they were foster parents is likely to be a huge piece of information that SHOULD sway at least somebody. They were working with troubled kids. TROUBLED. They just didn't do so well with this one, I guess...
I didn't RTFA, but another angle is: If he is their biological son, then they probably spent more time working with OTHER kids. Which led to their apparent underestimation of how he would react to their chosen punishment. He probably felt out of touch with them, and that they didn't understand him and never would. And therefore, by working with troubled kids, their own child ended up becoming one. Due to their lack of attention.
9 hours a day, 4 days each week. 8 hours first Friday. Second Friday off. repeat.
The Army and other government workplaces are becoming hip on this. Tobyhanna Army Depot, for one, has this for most of the DoD Civilian employees. They love it.
I could see myself not minding it too much. Though I work for a contractor and am not eligible.
My 450MHz PII is fanless and absolutely quiet. I run pfSense on it. 196MiB of RAM, with a 10 GiB Quantum Fireball hard drive. (The loudest part of the whole setup)
I haven't gotten the thing to hit anything above 30% utilization. I'm on 10Mbit/s cable, though.
Then I've got a Netgear wifi router on its own subnet. Of course my wired network gets priority over the wife downstairs.;P

They've already disabled USB storage devices on ALL DoD information systems. Not just ones with access to "sensitive" information.

Is that a new breed of dog?
Hey, cool... but how does she get to it without the Internet?
You're right. And it is both a blessing and a curse. Although my suggestion was for the more positive use of providing helpful information.

He's only using ~1,300KWh, I average about ~2,000KWh in the winter. But my bill is still less. (Northeast PA) Price != Usage in all situations.

Did they say anything about giving them back sometime in the future?
