The Veritas failure was JWT's alone -- the useless Gary Bloom notwithstanding. Symantec acquired a company with a solid lead in most of its markets and a track record in enterprise sales, then starved all of the oxygen out of it, allowed its products to stagnate, then did an "I told you so" and cut it even further.
Yeah, I forgot to mention that 8 upgrades cost me nothing but time.
I'm always surprised when people say things like this. Isn't your time worth money? I know that, for instance, if one product cost me $300 and an hour to update, and the other cost me four hours, the cash will come out in a second.

Running Xen

· Score: 1
Not especially unexpected, considering Ian Pratt et al's original paper was Xen and the Art of Virtualization...
And almost all of those things can be handled by either buying a $49 utility or taking it down to the store... which, come to think of it, is how I handle the repair of all of my other APPLIANCES.
A lot of the things you want to do simply don't work. Or are hard to pull off. But a lot of them are thins that 98% of computer users don't want to do, and don't understand why anyone would care. for instance...
try to do a full HD backup and compress it at the same time in Windows... And most people would never try, because they'd never know why anyone would want to. And they don't want to learn why, any more than they want to learn how to repair their own washing machine.
There's a general notion of what a "(media) outlet" is -- a commercial publication. A personal internet presence would not be considered by most to be a media outlet.
Because forums require that you go to them, which requires you to remember to, which requires you to be telepathic about whether there is important information there. When the info comes to you, you can quickly triage it and determine if you need it now, later, or never.
Some have managed to fight this under the premise that addiction is a medical condition, and that therefore this is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
No, but few developers are actually employed by the foundation, and Apache projects are far from the only ones out there. Most of the contributors to Linux, for instance, work for IBM, HP, controller manufacturers, and the like.
The majority of significant development on open source software today is not being done by individuals for moral duty or fame or any of that. It is being done by employees funded by companies who feel that, if all their competitors see a way to leverage each other's efforts as well, they can work on proprietary differentiation in the areas that count.
We call that "the profit motive" -- only in terms that are a little more complex than your argument.
Nominet's sensible policy flies in the face of most American registrars, who believe that domains exist as a means for them and speculators to make money, and the fact that they might be used on the net to locate useful information and should be treated as a worthwhile asset of the registrant is an annoyance.
ESX Server's "underlying" OS is the ESX Server vmkernel. It's written from scratch -- no Linux code in it.
It uses a based-on-Red Hat Linux kernel to boot -- but when it loads the vmkernel, that, and not the boot Linux, is managing most of the hardware directly.
On the other hand of inaccuracies, Longhorn Server's virtualization will do the same thing -- boot a real hypervisor, which uses a (possibly scaled-down) Windows to boot and manage, but the hypervisor's in charge. It is architecturally nearly identical to Xen.
Um, because the US is at least 35% of the market for every software segment and over 50% for many? And because even many non-US companies will not use software their US subsidiaries and partners cannot?
These restrictions are trivial compared to others in the area:
You may use the Software to conduct internal performance testing and benchmarking studies, the results of which you (and not unauthorized third parties) may publish or publicly disseminate; provided that VMware has reviewed and approved of the methodology, assumptions and other parameters of the study. Please contact VMware at benchmark@vmware.com to request such review.
..."You can publish it only if we give you permission after seeing your results."
That's sure consistent with the open source anti-capitalist argument: that you should only be able to accrue income for labor, not for owning the fruits of that labor. Yes, bands will make more money by people going to more shows. But that obligates bands to play and play and play, to tour nonstop rather than earning on record sales.
Funny, that was a perfectly correct formation -- in English, that is, not geek:
compile/kmpal/ Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation -verb (used with object), -piled, -piling. 1. to put together (documents, selections, or other materials) in one book or work. 2. to make (a book, writing, or the like) of materials from various sources: to compile an anthology of plays; to compile a graph showing changes in profit. 3. to gather together: to compile data. 4. Computers. to translate (a computer program) from a high-level language into another language, usually machine language, using a compiler.

There is no guarantee of payment, true. But then, there's no guarantee of your right to access the art, either.
Marathon has had it working on Xen for quite a while.

But it's not a "clearly-written policy."

It does scare me: it is not the single-payer efficient system that every citizen of a free nation has a right to expect.
Xen 3.1 supports live migration of hardware-assist VMs just fine.
XenSource's next product release, in beta in a couple of weeks and shipping this summer, includes this.
Water, walk, whatever. Some of us would rather enjoy ourselves.

Longhorn's virtualization will support other guests than Windows -- in fact, XenSource is working with MS to make Linux run full-power on it.

Well, since Itanium is significantly HP-developed as its follow-on to PA-RISC, and HP and the Japanese vendors are certainly selling some of those...
True only if you're willing to pay per search.
