This is so funny! You just described my wife and I to a tee. I'm on my Windows 7 system playing COD and she's on the Vista Dell Inspiron reading Facepuke or watching Hulu.
(We were contemplating getting a Wii a few months back, but your post just confirmed my convictions with the idea - thanks)
ESX is what an enterprise uses to have mass virtualization of many servers. For a home user, you only need Workstation and the hardware will determine the performance. Or you could just go with Microsoft's free virtualization software.
But, now that I'm old, working full time, and have a family, I just don't have any energy left to get into fights with my desktop OS just to get some Dora The Explorer video to play for my kids.
While reading all the posts on here, I'm always curious to know the posters' backgrounds. Are you a MD? A university level professor? A plumber who dabbles in particle physics in his/her spare time, etc. I think everyone should finish their posts with their credentials : )
I have a BS in CISM and support regulatory software in Pharmaceutical companies. Not that anyone cares since this is non-informational, but I would have felt like a hypocrite if I didn't ; )
Considering there aren't fiber optics inside the silicon, the speed of light shouldn't be relative. It's the speed of electricity, which is much different/slower than the speed of light. Unless I'm missing something? Please correct this if I'm wrong.
It's my opinion, sir, that only a fool would question God's ability to create the UNIVERSE (not just the earth) in 6 days.
But I'm an evangelical, so I'm a "loon".
If we're wrong, what do we lose? We "tried" to live our lives according to principals like love your enemies, love and respect your spouses, have integrity, put others ahead of ourselves, live selfless lives, take care of the poor and widows. Follow Jesus' examples. Be good stewards of what God has given us (including the earth).
If you're wrong, you spend eternity in hell, where there's grinding/gnashing of teeth, unquenchable fire, eternal separation from God.
I'll take my chances with God. I like the odds better. Keep in mind that it's NEVER too late to accept Him.
Just as an experiment, a lot of you should read proverbs. It's in any bible (version). It's all about wisdom.
So according to your point, if someone makes a bad/poor decision in the past, they should maintain that same standard so as not to be called a hypocrite? Sounds pretty stupid to me. It's never wrong to do the right thing.
We already believe that because the bible said it thousands of years ago. Please, continue to expose your complete lack of knowledge regarding Christianity (which in not "religion" to true Christians).
It's not the brain that causes a husband to make sacrifices for his wife and children; when I wrap my arms around my beautiful wife and tell her that I missed her, it wasn't my brain that caused that; when someone finds a wallet full of cash and returns it to its owner with the same amount of cash in it, it's not because his synapses fired in a certain order/pattern.
Who we are is not the handfull of elements that make up our physical bodies, or the chemical interactions that occur in the gray matter. We all have a soul, which was designed to live forever. Once the shell takes it's last breath, the soul will continue... Where it continues is a simple decision every one of us will make before we die.
Of course, if you don't believe this "nonsense", please live your life to the fullest while you're here, because this is all you have.

If you're familiar with the CAPS community at www.fool.com, you'll understand the concept. Make the records/numbers public and start ranking the individual screeners by their credibility - if they're right more often, their input gets more weight. People that provide innacurate analysis will be ranked less significant.
I understand your point. Cane and Eve, as sick as is sounds, must have goteen together. The gene pool was a lot cleaner back then - lol. I do hope you don't base an entire disbelief of the bible on that one point. Every single prophecy in the book has come true so far. Scientists have used it to find geological locations due to its historical accuracy. Nothing scientific has ever proven anything in it wrong. It was written by 40 different authors over a span of thousands of years, yet Genesis to Revelation complement and relate perfectly. Have you read it? People (Lee Strobel for one) have set out to prove that it's just another book, and in the process have become Christians.
Contrary to popular belief, the bible and science complement each other. They are not polar opposites or in diametric opposition. Obviously they can't be since God himself created science, but I know most people in here don't share this viewpoint : ) And that's an example of the free will that He has granted you ; )
Get it straight BS spewers. I'm what you would refer to as a "fundamentalist" Christian. I believe the bible is the word of God, Jesus was the son of God, etc...
The bible tells us to "be good stewards of what God gives us". Look up the actual definition of a steward; nothing is ours - it all belongs to God. If God gave us this beautiful planet to live on and use, He expects/wants us to take care of it, be "good stewards" of it.
So, going forward, anyone that claims "Christians don't care about the planet", you're simply illinformed and don't know what the bible says.
I'm exactly the same way. A part of me despises the whole marketing industry, mainly because they really insult your intelligence by telling you absolutely nothing pertinent about the product. Rather, they try to project an image (happy family at dinner, attracting hot females, getting that promotion, etc.) I'm contantly wondering if there are people out there so weak minded that they actually buy into this crap.
You've got to be pretty low on the intelligence scale to buy car insurance based on a caveman, gecko, or stack of dollars with eyes.
...if you feel about something so strongly that you are willing to sign a petition about it, you shouldn't be hiding your name. Stop being a coward, and own up to your opinions/decisions.
Most people who will support gay marriage don't have a moral code that they live by, other than their own standards. This frees them to respond, with any hanus and cowardly retribution they deem acceptable, towards those who oppose their beliefs.
Alternatively, bible believeing Christians, all of whom should object to gay marriage, are free from a life of sin (that doesn't mean we don't sin!), but we're slaves to Christ. We (should) work towards living a life acceptable to God, and therefore are obligated not to react in such base/loveless ways. "Vengence is not ours, it's the Lords". "Don't return evil with evil". "Love your enemy." These are in the bible.
So, as difficult as this may be, pretend you're living according to these principals and there are those that will threaten your family, vandalize your property, poop on your lawn, etc. simply because they can see how you voted/petitioned.

Has anyone googled "Kindle China"? This story is posted everywhere.

You mean downloading a codec?
FUNNY!!! Imagine the ridicule our government would get if they didn't use an obvious source of information like "look_at_me_im_important"book
Has anyone actually tested the "boiling a frog" concept? I know I'm curious.
You have the best sig I've seen on here!

They sleep. I sat next to a commercial airline pilot on a plane. He told me that they set the auto pilot after take off and sleep.

Why do people type "*nix" instead of spelling it out?
School-itis seems, by far, the most likely explanation.
Inflamation of the school?

"You'd be a Homer Simpson if you paid after that."
No, you'd be HONEST! Great! people associate honesty with being dumb. The end is near - lol.
Excellent point. Much more eloquent and reasonable than mine.

They're capitalizing on the stupid.
To Answer OP's question, I suggest Pythagorean's Thoerum. Too simple?
