The free to use 'personal user end license' does actually allow you to use VirtualBox in a commercial environment, as long as you install it and use it yourself. Check out their FAQ at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ
If you can live without USB connectivity then the GPL version is also pretty fully featured, and their 'seemless' mode is really really cool.
Possibly a link to the 'I feel lucky' functionality for a search that takes you to the nefarious page the troll wants. Likely a flaw for Google to fix.
And every other website that uses external links? Really, if you're making it unlawful to link to material which is accessible without the IP owners permission, then you're effectively asking everyone who posts a link to any content to authenticate it. That's a crazy thing to ask.
Why not just apply extremely localised extreme heat to critical areas on the knob, collapse it and remove the new shape?
Why not just pull it really hard?
Why not chisel it really hard...etc.
You and me could think of a bunch of stuff; NASA could think of a bunch of stuff and properly assess how likely it is to work vs how likely it is to damage the shuttle vs how much it will cost and so on.
Some months back, i foolishly pointed to my web hosting service that there was a serious security hole in the way their system (cpanel) was configured for subversion
If it saved your data from security problems, it wasn't foolish. If it saved the ISP some trouble, it was downright heroic.
Now if the provider is exposing themselves as being sloppy, and you stay with them for convenience, well maybe that's a bit foolish.
'But Jack Bauer, owner of the city's largest beer and soft drink distributor, calls the network "a great thing." His store hasn't been robbed, he said, since four cameras went up nearby. "There's nothing wrong with instilling fear," he said.'"
The ends don't always justify the means, Jack. How many people have to be tortured to death during an interrogation before you realise that.
The government controllers in the U.S. long ago learned the secret that other governments have yet to figure out. Keep the slaves comfortable, busy and distracted, and they won't put up a fight.
You're saying if you keep people happy they won't complain, but you present it as though that's a bad thing.
If a copy of me does not have certain memories, is it still me?
I don't think so. If it's a copy of you then (to me at least) it's not you by definition.
It's really tricky to think of a solid explanation of what 'I' am. I think if I were going to have a stab at a partial definition I'd define a person as some sort of extremely complex shape in space-time: if you take a three-dimensional cross section of a person at a specific point in time, you'd see what we know from out of every day experience - a really complexly ordered collection of matter. If you then look at a cross-section at neighbouring point of time, the order of the collection will have changed, and some new matter is included in it, and some matter has been discarded from it. If we imagine some mind boggling complex array of rules governing what changes to the collection are permitted between one point in time and another in order for that collection to still be considered a person at the other point in time, then we can consider conception and death as the two points in time where the collection changes in a way not permitted by those rules.
So, you have a segment of time made up of a myriad of discrete points, and at each a unique collection of matter in a particular order. If you examine the deltas between this collection from point-to-point in time, you will find them to obey specific rules (of course, without defining those rules a person can really be anything so this little diversion gets us nowhere - still if you've managed to read all the way down to here you're probably just as high as I am, or at least wish you were).
How is what Microsoft's doing different from what every other company is doing?
Nothing but I'm not going to get pissed off at companies who do the same thing without affecting me, and since everyone has to use Windows in a corporate environment MS are going to draw the most ire from companies who have to arrange migrations that benefit the vendor more than themselves.
If you asked for support and patches for, say, Mozilla Phoenix 0.3 (released 2002), you'd get laughed out of pretty much everywhere
Over time folks are going to upgrade as new features justify whatever cost/time/effort is involved. When the number of users on a product is very small what's the point in supporting it any more? I haven't researched it so would welcome a rebuttal if you disagree, but I'd wager that Mozilla didn't stop supporting 0.3 until only a very small set of users remained on it. Microsoft are starting to do the opposite, force users out of older software when everyone still wants it and no one needs Windows 7.
In any case, I'm not talking about MS stopping support for Windows XP - they're forcing my hand by making it harder for me to get it for now. I could *still* download a copy of FF0.3 if I really wanted to.
And it's not compatibility
No, it's the cost of testing and checking compatibility; the cost of installation, making sure support knows about the differences in Windows 7; productivity lost by users who aren't technically competent. I'm not really expecting any compatibility issues moving to Windows 7.
So tell me: What's wrong with what Microsoft is doing with Windows XP?
Security patches for Windows XP will be around for at least another 5 years. I'd happily just move around licenses I already own for a few years budgeting a trivial amount on testing Windows 7 per year then migrating when users are more familiar with Windows7 at home than they are XP (spreading costs over a long time = good, ditto not incurring costs and losing productivity in the current climate). I can't even do *that* with Windows because of the OEM license terms. Everyone knows they only get away with this sort of bullshit because it's nigh impossible for anyone to migrate to another OS.
Those special OEM deals, that frequent abuse of market dominance, the relative indifference to myriad SME's as long as they just keep paying again makes them unmitigated bastards in my eyes. They do this on a bigger scale and to a more damaging extent than any other software company I deal with.
You can't get rid of them, they're always there, they sap the cash out of you and give me no added value in return. Sounds more like a disease than a supplier.
Yep. I don't want to switch to Windows 7. XP works just fine for Office apps, Firefox, Adobe reader, winzip a couple of proprietary apps and....that's it. The Devil's biggest trick was convincing the world that OS's need to be regularly upgraded to something very very different.
Would be happy to pay a reasonable sum for patches (done properly mind you, no larking about until Tuesday to get critical vulnerabilities out of the way), but having to either accept the costs of a mixed OS environment, or a large migration project for no benefit whatsoever, or pay extra for an old OS which is *still* supported really pisses me the fuck off.
Sigh, I guess this is the price we all pay for being reliant on a company which I suspect is past it's peak.
(On the subject of things that piss me the fuck off, I also hate it when you have to make an effort to decode marketing spiel to work out what a product does - I'm looking at you, VMWare.)
True, but I didn't mention anything about rotation (where did the spin of the Earth come into it?) or the Earth (where did 9.8m/s^2 come from?).
