It's an estimate right now. They're not sure where the Endeavor crater will actually be. Once Atlantis does the rescue mission Endeavor will be redirected to mars in order to create it's crater.
If enough people think it'll do more good than harm then it will pass regardless of your vote. Still stick to your principals.
I suggested line item voting as a way to curb this. Similar to the line item veto for budgets to the president, but each line of a bill could be voted on as "for", "indifferent", "against". With 'for' meaning that it is required, by the individual congressman, for the bill to pass. If removed then the bill would need to be resubmitted, or pass from enough other votes. 'Indifferent' meaning that it is fine. You accept it but it can be voted out by others and the bill still be acceptable by you. And 'against' being that the entire bill is rejected unless this line is removed.
This way we'd know exactly what Obama's view was on the telcom immunity. I may have still passed, he could have voted yes to all the other parts and rejected the immunity part. There would have been no question. Of course, then it would make it more difficult to blur your views enough that you can say anything and it sound good and consistent.
Then his question was badly answered. You don't answer a question on how to do A so that you can then do B, by reject A and answer only B without A. It's nonsensical and antisocial, and you're being silly for defending it.
Or more likely in this case he checked out and it was full of hookers, drug dealers and roaches, or didn't have cable TV so it didn't meet his full requirements. Hence his asking how to speed up the trip and not just where's the closest motel 6.
don't go with the 1.6 version though it's known to crash more often. Risk analysis has shown that 2.5 version seems to be much better judging by the insurance costs. Version 6.5+ varies in quality depending on the install and how well it has been maintained.
The details are flawed, it's an analogy they're suppose to be, the comparison is the same. You are assuming that his only goal is requirement 2. Perhaps he has other reasons for requirement 1 and requirement 2 was an example of his other reasons. If he had asked, "What's the fastest way to get to a text editor?" then you would have been right.
No you are ignoring his request and just solving his end goal. His request had two requirements.
1) boot fast 2) get to a text editor in under 20 seconds
If I asked how can I make my car go faster, I'd like to be able to get from A-B in under 2 hours and you say take the train it'll get you there in 1. That's great but it only solves half the problem and creates another. My car is still slow, and now once I get to point 'b' I have no car to get around.
Perhaps they should go with a smaller craft for carrying people and a larger craft for carying stuff. They could also simply both by using a capsule for the crew and a disposable cargo trailer for the larger cargo items. I'm sure they could probably re-use some of the good parts of the shuttle like the SRBs and a large portion of the main fuel tank.
I feel the pain of no mac now. My previous employer gave us all Macs. At the end of the day I would see what time it was, close the lid unplug it and go home. When I got home I would open it, and within a few seconds be right were I was when I left. I do the same in the morning to head back to work. My new employer has given me this damn Peecee which seems to be a total crap shoot if it'll actually resume or not. Sometimes it'll work fine, sometimes the USB keyboard/mouse wont work, sometimes it'll come back but wont connect to a network, sometimes all the application windows will just be a nice pretty consistent shade of gray. I moved from a linux laptop back before it was even an option to susspend so I just never did, to a Mac laptop that worked perfectly every time, to a windows laptop that seems to worked maybe 20% of the time. I've given up and just shutdown every night now.
No he says he's asking about fast boot time and someone else said it's a non issue cause you can just put the system to sleep.
If he had asked for advice on increasing performance of his car, and someone said cars are obsolete, just take a train, he may have a similar reaction.
VDC-OS is to Linux/Windows what ESXi is to ESX. Where ESX takes a couple hundred Megs of memory. you have to manage users and have a full Linux OS under the vmware application, ESXi is 16megs, has one user account used to join Virtual Center and the only console interface is where you set the password and ipaddress.
I have and it's the difference between a baby crawling and the star ship enterprise's warp drive. Sure they are both forms of transportation, but one does a lot more. And while PC hardware may not have been designed for virtualization, it has been redesigned for it.
Not exactly. VDC-OS does actually replace Windows and/or Linux. Think of it as a Linux kernel, and instead of InitV startup your app starts up. You don't maintain users and directories or storage or even log into a shell. The OS is reduced to just enough to run 1 application and only 1 application.
This OS/App bundle is created with a basic config file and is then started just like you'd start a virtual machine on an ESX server or server cluster. ESX can then handle the migration and resources of all the ESX servers in the cluster and your App will move between them to the one that will service it best.
I'm sure there will be a debug environtment that may included a more advanced shell like interface to run traces and such, but a stable app shouldn't need any of this. (By stable I mean well tested and developed to one specific environment of which this will provide. Think cartrage console game vs. PC game)

Come on, I can do much better than that:
It's like a traffic jam of stock. They're taking some cars off the road in order to get the left over ones moving again.
Perhaps his job requires UNIX and his email requires Windows.
Yea, it's nice to be able to open a shell on your windows system and have ssh so you can get to a real unix/linux box.
I just draw pictures on cave walls with charcoal and mud.

I always send that kind of info in a word doc, then have my email client UUEncrypt it.

There, fixed that for ya.
yea, it works flawlessly about 20% of the time. Put down the koolaid and back away.
...Motel 6 a minute away that he missed...
Or more likely in this case he checked out and it was full of hookers, drug dealers and roaches, or didn't have cable TV so it didn't meet his full requirements. Hence his asking how to speed up the trip and not just where's the closest motel 6.
Ok hows this, How can I make my computer go from a cold, shut down, state to a text editor in under 20 seconds or less?
Let's say it's 1Tb of data (doubt it is even .1% of that, but lets just say)

An extra $120 isn't a big deal on a car.

for you if a hot chick walked up to you and said i want to have your baby, you would take her to the sperm bank

I don't think the Soyuz would have been a very good vehicle to rescue helicopter pilots in Vietnam.

ESX and ESXi are the underlying bare metal OSs. VDC-OS is a stripped down VM. Think of the virtual appliance concept reduced even further.
Wish I had mod points this post is very relevant to the resistance to VM where I am now.
