Yep. About the only negative about VB is that its USB-emulation speed is pants. We tested that here at work and VMware is about 10x faster when accessing hard drives via its emulated USB.
There are some ordinary people whom I will call "collaborators" who think that we don't need to know the sordid details of how government works. These folks believe that we must trust the people we elect and then if the results are not to our liking, then they can be replaced with someone else when the next election comes up.
Doesn't occur to them that it's helpful to know/why/ we got to the point we don't like, or why we got somewhere we like.
Depends, really. My workplace lets each department decide when to buy a computer & how much to spend. This means that some depts will get fewer, cheaper computers (say $800 total) and others will spend $1500 per.
The tradeoff is that the more expensive computer lasts longer before we throw up our ands and tell them to buy another.
That's the current low-end Optiplex, and it's pretty good hardware quality for a pretty good price. IMO, its existence removes any incentive to go Vostro unless you positively must get the cheapest crap.

Always with the hyperbole.
kdawson posted it, but I wonder if that's his fault or eldavojohn's.
edj, I know you read regularly, so what do you have to say?
That's the sort of thing that'd be changed daily as a matter of course, and there must be other authentication factors besides just codes.
Not much to worry about here.

Marketing wank.
Funnily enough, that's what your mom said.
In a word, teabaggers.
Only if you choose the non-default case-sensitive filesystem, apparently.
Maybe Ellison wants the official JVM to be the only such one.
Undoubtedly there's a Glenn Beck joke in there, lurking just beneath the surface.

...and then die of lead or melamine poisoning because someone took shortcuts while making the actual pills.
I'm not so sure it's that. Their leaders don't seem to value individual human lives or rights like we do in the West.
Well-trolled sir. That one gets style points.
Depends on your particular religion. American evangelicals and hardcore Islamists, sure, there's not much common ground.
You'll probably find that people who are more relaxed about their religious beliefs don't have a lot of problem with what science has to say.
Except that in China, unlike Canada, you can and probably will go to prison for saying something the government doesn't like.
Also, there's far less oversight of food and drug safety over there.
that a conservative government is anti-science.
I installed the Netflix channel on my Wii and now it refuses to use the disc version.
I believe the first one was the original. It's a common expression on another site I'm on.

Or you could post as plain old text.
Funny, or depressing?
Paragraphs are your friends.
