Well they did say they wanted to run the same copy of Windows on both.
Other than that yes I broadly agree with your other points. I don't know how feasible it is to share app installs across windows versions (can you share a registry?) but it'd be nice if you could.
Personally VMs aren't a huge amount of use to me at the moment. The only thing really keeping an XP partition on my box is Cubase, but unfortunately the audio drivers in VMWare aren't up to the task. Doubt they will be for the forseeable future either:(
Unlikely, Windows tends to freak out if it wakes up with a different motherboard to when it went to sleep.. You might get it to boot but it would probably bluescreen before you got the chance to do much.
I was very impressed the first time I moved a linux disk to another box and booted it. The first boot it freaked out a bit, but on restarting it booted pretty much fine. A few config tweaks and it was happy as larry.
Technically XGL/Compiz shouldn't be in that list. However until nVidia put the new texture from mipmap or whatever it is into their drivers and we can get off Mesa I'll let you off;)
Yes I saw your discussion of Dirvish. I didn't feel our tool brought anything new to the table. I don't have the time to manage everything I generate as an open source project unfortunately. I do have a PHP5 web framework and an ORM framework I intend to open source once they're better documented though, that I think are a more useful contribution.
You're welcome to 'roughback' under a license of your choice if you want it though.
Yeah but thankfully they have to prove you have them first.
They did try to sneak in an innocent until proven guilty (you have to prove you don't have them) but it seems that justice isn't *quite* dead here yet.

Personally I often remove the caps-lock key so as to not accidentally turn it on.
Id and Epic seem to manage to use GL (and I presume SDL or something similar). Last time I checked their stuff was pretty bleeding edge no?
no, popcorn and tin in a microwave of course.
What the fuck? Because I don't use an Americanisation I sound effete? Has it occurred that saying 'August 2nd' is actually just bad English?
I think you're making some assumptions about how people talk ;)
I'm from the UK (dd/mm/yyyy) and I would say today's date like this: "The 2nd of August, 2006";
Yeah quite! Good luck finding a server willing to give you 2.5GBps!
There are still games released for Neo Geo :D

So you wouldn't outsource to the UK?

NWN, WoW and UT on WINE do you mean? What about native UT?

It'll take them twice as long to hit the same number of vulnerable clients.

With the next round of HD devices that occurs in the display device, so you're going to have to get out your sodering iron to rip it.

They do?
I can't see US lawyers doing very well in a Chinese court..
oooh look at you with your loaded questions.
no i didn't think it was polished enough, and then i saw there were other more mature tools that do the same thing (dirvish).
ha!
;)
we implemented that hardlinking / rsync system in php too
Sure, I think the idea is for things like PGP/GPG encrypted documents or volume encryption.
*digs around for rubber hose again*

Sorry, /.'s post folding made it look like you were replying to a different post. My mistake.
Seeing as we're talking about an article have you considered R-ing-TFA?
Yeah I remember seeing that in one of them.
