I run a stripped-down WindowsXP instance in a virtualbox VM on my mythtv box, just for streaming netflix. It works great. I just run it full screen on a separate workspace, and switch back and forth with ctrl-alt-left/right.
Most devout religious people I know are very happy and feel quite fulfilled in their lives. They enjoy life, have a family that cares about them, and don't want to leave all that. Maybe statistically, people that are bitter, have no family, hate their life, and don't care about prolonging it, are more likely to be irreligious?
Xen requires the guest OS to be built with explicit support for Xen. VMWare doesn't require that. Xen can't run any build of Windows or NetWare, but VMWare can.
You haven't been paying attention. Xen will soon be able to run any build of pretty much anything on new "VT-enabled" hardware from intel. http://www.xensource.com/news/pr082305.html
I use Keyring.
It's very convenient to have it on the palm, and there are desktop editors for it as well (there are a couple of windows conduits, and a couple of java apps that work fine on macos or linux).

Dunno who you talked to dude, but HP has been selling a linux-preloaded laptop (the nx5000 for quite a while now. It's gotten quite a few nice reviews as well:
It will take intel at least more than a year to get the itanium near the PPC970 2 Ghz..

Go to spec.org and search for "itanium". You'll notice some itanium2 results from HP from last year , that blow apple's (highly biased) G5 results outta the water: Apple got 800/840 SPECint/SPECfp in their testing for the dual 2GHz G5. In contrast, HP acheived 810/1431 SPECint/SPECfp for a dual 1GHz Itanium2 machine, a full year ago ! Since Itanium2 is over a year old now, I'd expect HP/Intel to be releasing a newer/faster Itanium any time now, that will further widen the gap. I don't think Intel or HP are quaking in their boots at apple's meager competition...
a total loss of 15,000 more jobs with over 150,000 following the next two years.
Come on dude, read the article. That's 15,000 layoffs in the next two years out of a combined workforce of 150,000. I.e., the combined size of the new company will be about 150,000 employees, of which ~15,000 (10%) will be fired in the next two years.
> Palestinians can rally in the streets today, and celebrate the mass extermination of human beings.
...your statement about Palestinians and immediately assuming they're responsible is bare-faced racism...
This statement isn't about who is responsible for the terrorist attacks. It's about the news coverage of Palestinians dancing in the street, passing out candy, and shouting "God is Great" in celebration of the attacks. Anyone celebrating what happened today is either ignorant of what actually happened, or is fanatical enough to believe that it somehow is a good thing. Anyone that believes the latter needs to be either re-educated, or exterminated.
I had an Aeron for about a month. By that time, the mesh was sagging enough that it felt like I was sitting on a friggin toilet. I guess they're OK for 100lb dweebs, but for a fat-assed bubba like me, they suck.
As far as price goes, Aerons aren't even at the high end of office chairs! The one I'm sitting on now (Body-Built) cost about $1,200US, and is worth every penny. It's a *lot* cheaper than back surgery. Anyone that is a cheapskate with the tools they use to make a living, has gotta be an idiot.
For those of us poor schmucks that only read english, the english version of these pages is at http://polyn.kiae.su/ins/osrez/or1.htm. Makes for a pretty interesting read (if you're into that sort of thing;o)
Another option is the LinkSys BESR41 box. It's
about $170, and it's a dedicated router, NAT
firewall, DHCP server, 4 port 100BT switch, etc...
It does port forwarding, so you can run a server
behind it (although it's likely that RoadRunner
explicitly forbids you to do so). I've got one
in front of my cable modem, and it works really
well. Highly recommended.
