Vmware is by far the best in class virtualization product and on top of that they have made it very easy to use. I think they could really do great things with suse in addition to Zimbra and their document collaboration suit they can be a big MS competitor.
But I am guessing Sony has turned off the USB ports during boot along with some other security updates so they will need to come up with a new exploit and it has taken 5 years so far.
I am sure someone can find something sooner than later but it won't be soon.
I just wonder if people will get their consoles banned if Sony detects they are using the hack on a PS3.
This is a perfect time to install VMWARE. You could even use the free ESXi and convert the server to a VM then you don't even need to worry about drivers. VMWARE is great for those old systems that are solid but if the hardware dies you would be SOL.
Also WYSIWYG editors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG) don't work on the iPad so that means you can only make blog posts in plain text with no formating or manually type in the html. Also if you want to edit content that used a WYSIWYG editor you have to scroll through tons of html to find what you want to edit. This is fine for me I know html but you can sure as hell bet my wife won't do it.
Also you have to specifically encode video's to the format the iPad wants to play. Even if it is an MP4 it needs to be no more than 30fps or it won't play. I don't want to convert all of my videos encoded in H.264, divx, and xvid.
So much for it just works.
My sister is an English teacher and she tells her students "commas are not like pepper you don't just sprinkle them in when you are done writing to add a little flavor to it."
She was blessed with the English and grammar I got the math and science. I still can't write a decent paper if my life depended on it.
On Linux the 40GB drives are perfect for the boot partition where most of your programs are installed and then install a second larger drive for the "/home" directory and "swap".
This should help your drive last a lot longer as you will not be putting as many writes to the SSD.
I remember in College we used a program called "Deep Freeze" on the Lab computers. It had a stock image on it and every time the machine got rebooted it would go back to the original state. I think that combined with software that saves all of the transactions on a server that is protected should be fine. But they should really run some form of Linux if they can.
The driver included in most Linux distros these days can read it fine. But it is not perfect since Microsoft has released documentation on the NTFS file system it is only reverse engineered. However it is good enough to read from a USB drive for pictures.
Why are these things not running Linux? It would be perfect for it.
The only thing I can think is if they use some obscure printer that there is no driver in Linux.
I always though it started as a joke that went something like this:
21 year old gets pulled over for a DUI
Officer: how much have you had to drink tonight
Kid: nothing
Officer: Please step out of the vehicle
few FST later....
Officer: Please recite the alphabet backwards.
Kid: but I couldn't even do that if I was sober! (owned)
Well...Google bought Android team quite a bit before iPhone announcement, plus they don't actually have any consumer "Google OS" (and of you refer to ChromeOS, that's a different thing, aimed mostly at tablets and netbooks; in the first case, also made public before Apple move, in the second - Apple claims they are not interested). As for browser...c'mon, Apple would be pissed after building large part of it on someone's else work, too?

Apple didn't invent the tech behind WebKit the forked KHTML and it is still largely an open source project.
Apple likes everyone to believe they built it from the bottom up.

PS3 firmware update was just rolled out this is effectively dead. My prediction is it will be another 10 years before the PS3 is hacked again.
I thought this type of thing is pretty straight forward you can't reprint something without prior permission from the copyright holder.
I agree just install PS3 media server on your server and then stream it to your XBOX360 or PS3. It works great for me.
You guys didn't have backups? You should have weekly, monthly, and yearly backups going off site.

why not just punch the restaurant name into Google maps or yelp?
They do it is called crossover and it will run you about $40 and it is awesome. http://www.codeweavers.com/
an up to date install of XP can do WPA just fine. And if it isn't up to date you can install a hotfix for it.

I rarely use swap anyway I just figure the less writes to the SSD the better for longevity.

They utility included in Ubuntu works pretty well to put an ISO on a USB drive even if said ISO is Windows ;-)
Is it technicaly cosplay if this is the guys job? I am pretty sure this is some kind of project for his company / resume or a customer.
easy enough to solve just propagate "everyone" read write access to the drive.
I guess you guys don't have SOX audits?
Encryption can work pretty well in at least this case http://www.businessinsider.com/brazilian-banker-has-invented-a-code-to-guard-his-files-that-is-impenetrable-to-the-police-2010-6 I guess it is a good thing the Spy's were not using Linux and HDD encryption.

Why don't they just use the imei number? It is pretty hard to change those and it is illegal to do so in most countries.
How about flash? Many people want flash but Apple refuses to include it on their mobile platform.
