I'm not a vegetarian but have greatly reduced my meat intake over the years. I had the opportunity to try an Impossible Burger recently and I can confirm that it's freakishly like animal meat. Not 100% indistinguishable but so damn close that I was amazed.
The guy at the restaurant warned me that many vegetarians don't like it because it's so close. He wasn't lying.
If there is a safe option to help people eat less meat, that's probably good for health, the environment, and a number of other factors right? It's like a gateway veg. Just like bacon is the gateway meat.
I stopped using mine a few years ago after the channels started to slowly disappear. Yes, it was an over glorified alarm clock. But it was nice to glance at various pages that scrolled by like traffic cameras, weather, news stories, etc. When it became simply a clock I was done with it.
I guess the happenings in the boardroom are kept pretty quiet. When it comes to employment I don't think anyone here at VMware is worried. Now I would love to hear from EMC folks if they happen to be reading the thread as I suspect they might have stronger opinions...
There are of course all sorts of restrictions on the types of things we can say related to financial disclosures, confidential information, etc. I think the reason you don't see that one person commenting is that we know about as much as everyone else: what we see in the press. Most of the commentary here has been positive with an overwhelming sense of "Dell is going to have their hands full with EMC." I don't mean that in a negative way. It's just going to be a lot of work to figure that whole thing out and we'll be on the sidelines in the short-term. At VMware it'll probably feel like swapping one 80% shareholder with another 80% shareholder.
My opinion might change after they start trickling out some more information about the deal. The only sure insider bet: Lots of "Dude you're gettin' a Dell" jokes to go around.
It's common in the US when signing up for a trade show. The convention center will dictate the terms that include compliance with union rules. Las Vegas is notorious. They have people roaming the halls to make sure vendors are in compliance.
Probably trade show booths. $1k is not an unusual cost of doing business internet fee for a convention. Oh yes, it's absurd. And yes, people will pay it if that means they can peddle their wares and make some deals.
Ah, so now we can fully realize the dream of Gene Simmons reprogramming robots to kill. I seem to remember a farming robot was part of the intro. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...
I've received two calls from these scammers... and the example you provided is not far from the truth. When they claim to call from "The Windows" as the company name, it's painfully obvious what they are up to for about 99% of the computer using population. The problem is that 1%. They probably get a hit every once in a while that makes it profitable enough.
Is there a list of single player games that required some type of server connection but has been shut down since introduction? The closest thing I can find is this:
It's not a perfect analogy since MMOs have a reasonable need for a connection to the server, unlike single player. It would be nice to reference whenever someone argues for always-on DRM.
I've been setting up and teaching computer skills part-time in northwestern Cambodia for about 8 years now.
Getting equipment to a remote location is an expensive and perilous task. Damage, theft, bribes, delays, fees, more bribes, and unforeseen problems will cause you more headaches than you can imagine. I buy my equipment locally from a seller I have built up a relationship with. Because I'm a repeat customer, he goes out of his way to make sure the computers keep running when I'm not there, which is most of the year.
Because Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world, the idea of spending $300 on a copy of Microsoft Office is unthinkable. That's enough to run a small household for a couple months. You can install open source alternatives if you like, but it might not be a necessity since the machines are chock full of apps.
Getting the lab running is frankly the easy part. Your lesson plan needs to take precedence. Teach skills that are commercially viable in the country, inspire them to learn more, and give a solid foundation of basic skills. I have former students that can directly tie their lessons to helping them find jobs later on. They then take these skills and teach others, which creates a virtuous cycle. Good luck!
If someone had an extension cord plugged into my outside outlet and it ran to their house to steal power, I would walk over, knock on the door, and ask them to stop it. And yes, I would also unplug it.
If you have the means to determine where they are it's worth asking them to stop. That alone might change their attitude toward poking at networks.
This is an excellent question. It reminds of a quote from Brain Candy:
”It’s been two weeks and I don’t feel any different. All I’ve done is gain 8 pounds.
What’s in this? Sugar, isn’t it? I’m in the placebo group. My face tells me it’s sugar.”

I for one welcome our new President Camacho.

There are no VMware company restrictions that I know of for posting on Slashdot. And yes, I'm a VMware employee.
Exactly! I think I read about it in either 2600 or some text file I downloaded from a BBS.

I'd rather not encourage them to grow. Wait, is that what you meant?

I have $60 ready and willing for the moment they let me play the game on the airplane, quite possibly the only time I have to throw hours at it.
I played with one of these back in the 90s that did the same thing. http://www.speedguide.net/reviews/webramp-700s-89
I thought of the exact same thing. I seem to remember launching the app with a command line switch like /left or /right on separate machines.
Is this one of the downfalls of DRM, where software companies don't want you loading the game on multiple machines?

I'm betting that one gas canister is all you need, as long as you have the iPhone adapter to refill it.
