As far as I can recall, any Intel Pentium D-9x0 CPU, and any core duo supports hardware virtualization. Support for hardware virtualization appeared in AMD CPU in similar timeframe. Currently, except CPU targetting netbooks, most CPU support it.
But note that hardware based virtualization doesn't bring better performance. It was slower than software based solution when it first appeared. Not sure how it is currently. Unless you plan to run a Windows guest on Xen (and maybe kvm?), the virtualization flag is not very useful.
I plan to do a similar experimentation on RAC (and also Data Guard)... waiting for my current computer goes out of order, so that I can get a new one.
I think any commodity CPU with several core can do the job well. You need much RAM, as each RAC instance requires around 400MB, and you need to have memory for each physical / virtual machine. For storage, I plan to share from the host (nfs or iscsi). As a result, when I want to get the best performance, I can run Oracle directly on the host. (You can use 1 host + 2 guest for your 3 node RAC)
One advantage of running RAC experimentation in VM is that you don't need to invest on the internal gigabit network.
The problem is that microsoft breaks the standard. This not only makes itself incompatible with those compliant to the standard, but also makes those compliant to the standard incompatible with microsoft products.
Personally, I use Ubuntu as LiveCD when I need Linux on a computer which I don't want / don't have right to install Linux. Otherwise, I install the 'standard' debian. As a result, persistence is an important feature for me. And that's why I am still running 6.06.
I would think that similarly, for hobbiests, given the choice of dedicating their free time on on virus or [insert cool project here], will certainly choose [insert cool project here]. And for those who want to make money by writing virus, they would delicate their time to windows instead of linux. As a result, the number of linux viri is kept slow.
But I still don't think it is a good idea to ignore virus threat on linux, and it is BAD to advertise linux as a solution of viri.
I don't see any reason why this is "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters", besides that many Slashdot users are delighted and excited by anything bad or sounds bad about China.
Request every one bring a Maths game (playable by a large group) to be party as present (if you don't want non-math games). Hope someone will come up something interesting.
This seems a good source of free math problems for both teachers and students. It also tells you whether you are correct immediately.
The problem is that this will create lots of useless accounts.
12:00-13:00 -> start using MyLifeBits
13:00-14:00 -> using MyLifeBits to record starting using MyLifeBits
14:00-15:00 -> using MyLifeBits to record using MyLifeBits to record starting using MyLifeBits ...
Oh
The atomic bomb is many years ago. Anything patentable should either be prior art or has patent expired.
And isn't to 'share knowledge' (many many years later) the patent system's objective? How can knowledge be shared if hidden? And how would patent infringement handled??

I suppose KDE / Linux should add a "Last Known Good Configuration" option when startup?

At least the decryptor could not be encrypted
I play the game for pleasure, not for torture
But InnoDB is very slow. This contradicts with the claim that MySQL is fast.
MySQL has all the nice features any commercial enterprise level RDBMS has. The problem is that you can't use them together.

So Whole-Life is 20 years? Oh...
According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence/, persistence has stopped working since 6.10 (tried 7.10 and did not work for me...). Does it work on 8.10?

Thanks for the info
You are using a 143 line perl script to 'mine' redo-logs?? Great job! Then we can throw away the stupid DBMS_LOGMINER
:P
Can you give me any hint on how the redo-logs are parsed?
According to TFA, they found evidence of blocking using the China firewall test service. (http://www.websitepulse.com/help/testtools.china-test.html)
Then it has been unblocked already.
Seems more like a DNS error

According to the article, the biggest security risk of Open Source Software is the lack of a support hotline number.
I always think nanotechnology materials are like man-made virus...
It seems risky for me to burn a disk for several days.
Agreed. I always thought Minesweeper is the most-often played computer game
All I need to cygwin, which included an ssh client and even X server. What else do I need to manage Linux from Windows?

Am I the only one misinterpreting this as 200 kilo (degrees - either Celcius or Kelvin, there's practically no difference)?

Can they guarantee they can detect the 1st black hole created?
...
If they miss something, the 1st black hole created != 1st black hole detected
