  1. Re:Microsoft and Xen will kill VMWare on Microsoft Unveils Virtualization Strategy · · Score: 1

    We're running Vmware in a small deployment, I seems nice however it's sluggish, perhaps because of the 3rd rate hardware. I think it's not ready for prime time here.

  2. Alarm system on How Would You Design Your Dream Office? · · Score: 1

    When we moved into our new office we didn't have time to wire our homegrown alarm system; not long after moving one night there was a large rock thrown through the window of the vp's office, luckily all they took was his flatscreen tv, the irony being we had gotten the cable run for that.

  3. Ndas on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1

    Buy a couple of these:

    and a couple 500gb drives.

  4. Think about it on Is the Future of the Electric Car Industry in Silicon Valley? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Electric cars are not the answer do we really need more coal burning power plants? Bio fuels, hydro, high speed rail, mass transit etc. Detroit has the technology already, the almighty dollar rules. Let's just bike to work.

  5. Re:Why we can't stop spam with our current techniq on Spam Hits 95% of All Email · · Score: 1

    Are you stating that filtering spam is ineffective, like the "war on drugs" - Yes.

  8. 45 Magnum on Which Lost/Stolen Laptop Trackers Do You Like? · · Score: 1

    A high caliber pistol would probably prevent the need for this.

  9. Re:Name a scientist on NASA Unveils Hubble's Successor · · Score: 1

    Even though he was born in England; how about Stephen William Hawking ?

  10. Card issuers on VeriSign To Offer Passwords On Bank Card · · Score: 1

    I didn't see it in the tfa, who will be the card issuers, has Mastercard/Visa signed on? Will the PCI standard be interested in this?

  11. Re:Backups are usually no problems. on Tech Magazine Loses June Issue, No Backup · · Score: 1

    Amen to that, being the lone admin can be painful.

  12. Believe when I see it on India To Offer Free Broadband by 2009 · · Score: 1

    I'll ask the programmers here in the US how that works.

  13. Re:won't happen on An iPod For Every Kid In Michigan · · Score: 1

    Wasn't thinking of it like that, just stating a fact. But now that you mention it the Dems will probably do just that.

  14. won't happen on An iPod For Every Kid In Michigan · · Score: 1

    For one Michigan has a deficit officially at 940 million, probably north of 1 billion. Also the Republicans control the senate, this will never pass.

  15. Re:Good god, I want to smack Monbiot on Biofuels Coming With a High Environmental Price? · · Score: 1

    Why use corn anyway? Isn't hemp a viable alternative?

    I actually haven't seen widespread chaos caused by spyware, malware in a corporation or enterprise yet...

    What? never ? Have you been in a corporation?

  17. Re:Would /. be liable for posting a story like thi on Can You Be Sued for Quitting? · · Score: 1

    I don't know - how often the tv, newspapers or other websites get sued. So the answer is no - what exactly would /. be liable for ? Being lame?

  18. Bleach on Microwave Experiments Cause Sponge Disasters · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Several factors on Chaos and Your Everyday Traffic Jam · · Score: 1

    Would like to add:

    On ramp and off ramp merging. Regularly travel a four lane highway and it's amazing what people do when merging, in some parts there's 2 lanes to get on the freeway, why people jump on the left on ramp only to hit the brakes is beyond me when they could just use the wide open right lane and merge when it comes to an end, the whole point is doing it smoothly without undue interference to other drivers behind and ahead of you.

    Cell phones.

  22. First time? on Inhabited Island Vanishes Forever Underwater · · Score: 1

    I believe global warming is happening however I don't believe this is the first time a island has gone under. Tsunami/Katrina anyone?
