I run 3 instances of Windows 2000 under Windows 2000 on a dual 2.8 GHz machine with 2GB RAM (1GB devoted to the virtual machines) and they all run great at the same time. The three virtual machines run SQL Server and a bunch of other apps and are all networked together on the host lan.
Are you using the latest vmware?
Maybe more memory would help. It never hurts...'cept the wallet, although that's not even affected that much anymore.
I use Microsoft Office both on my home PC and my work laptop (when necessary, which is, unfortunately, often). They both run Linux. I use CrossoverOffice, which is a commercial version of Wine.
So, there are ways other than vmWare, FYI.
I run MS Office on my laptop using Windows 2000! I've heard of people using Windows NT, XP, 95 and 98 too! There's lots of ways to run it!
As a result, certain parties will have unfair advantages for reasons which should be obvious to most people who read Slashdot. (Of course, I am willing to outline a scenario or two for the uninitiated.)
Can you outline a situation for us non-americans?
Will all non-windows users really be part of the same political party?
How many people would not have access to traditional methods (absentee mail or actually going to the poll) AND not have a windows machine, AND not have access to a windows machine? And all these people would be voting for the same party?
I can see how real world issues could justify a limited platform for a proof of concept test such as this (testing, training support).
right - you determine that by laying your hand on the drive after it's copied 2TB of data. If you don't get blisters, it's not a blistering fast growth rate drive.
Why does everyone only count bandwidth as the time to do the transport?
Not everyone - our friend Jim in the article says: DP How do you get to the 7-megabytes-per-second figure?
JG UPS takes 24 hours, and 9 hours at each end to do the copy.
Now if the terabytes of data are useless in 3 hours, I guess you are fscked cuz you can't grab it from the disk that fast. Maybe a couple of terabytes of RAM and then ship the computer with a really big battery?
DP When they get a whole computer, don't they still have to copy?
JG Yes, but it runs around their fast LAN at gigabit speeds as opposed to the slower Internet. The Internet plans to be running at gigabit speeds, but if you experiment with your desktop now, I think you'll find that it runs at a megabyte a second or less.
DP Megabyte a second? We get almost 10 megabytes sustained here.
JG That translates to 40 gigabytes per hour and a terabyte per day. I tend to write a terabyte in about 8 to 10 hours locally. I can send it via UPS anywhere in the U.S. That turns out to be about seven megabytes per second.
DP How do you get to the 7-megabytes-per-second figure?
JG UPS takes 24 hours, and 9 hours at each end to do the copy.
DP Wouldn't it be a lot less hassle to use the Internet?
JG It's cheaper to send the machine. The phone bill, at the rate Microsoft pays, is about $1 per gigabyte sent and about $1 per gigabyte received--about $2,000 per terabyte. It's the same hassle for me whether I send it via the Internet or an overnight package with a computer. I have to copy the files to a server in any case. The extra step is putting the SneakerNet in a cardboard box and slapping a UPS label on it. I have gotten fairly good at that.
In other words, SCO might be on the hook to Linus (who owns copyright on the kernel),
AFAIK, Linus hold the trademark of linux. Each individual contributor of the code would hold the copyright to that code.
So if the GPL is invalid and they are in violation of copyrights, it could be $150 000 to Linus and Richard, and Bill and Fred and Jane and Bob and everyone else who has contributed code to a linux distribution (both kernel code and user land code). Seems like that would be a LOT of money per violation considering the thousands of contributors.
Slashdot Mirror
The GPL specifically states that anyone can profit from the work of the developers who release code under the GPL.
They are supposed to abide by the GPL, but not profiting is not one of the pre-requisites.
(VA Linux, IBM, and Red Hat are all public companies)
So are Microsoft and SCO. What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?
From the press release it doesn't sound as if they are distributing the linux kernel, but rather they are selling a 'we will not sue you card'
And it's actually a license for Unixware not linux.
IANAL, but it sounds like a legal loophole to me.

and the only way to run Office is to use VMWare.

so it's alright to ignore the law by 'sharing' music files, but it isn't alright to ignore the law when it comes to obeying a setttlement agreement?
made a call to his lawyer
Sounds expensive to me...
Maybe the smart card reader programmer companies should offer free legal services with every unit sold!
I LOVE GALAGA!!!
Galaga running on a tablet PC is reason enough to buy one right now!
couldn't resist...
I really do love Galaga though.
isn't Gecko the engine and mozilla the browser?
We already have multiple browsers using the same engine - would it be useful to have one browser that could use multiple rendering engines?

How many TB of data do you mail around per week?

wouldn't global temperature increases (and thus global warming) be in the southern and northern hemispheres?
I'd expect the northern hemisphere to warm in the spring! Bet ya it cools again in the autumn!

Sounds like he he indicating don't remove his name from his source, or his documentation. I don't think they have his docs included in their docs.
RTFA:
From the article:
Customized solutions, available beginning July 7, start at an estimated U.S. street price of $349(1) with an Intel...
I'm sure they gave IBM a full description of the violation.
I'm sure IBM's gaggle of lawyers would be aware of such a law and respond accordingly.
But I could be wrong...
wow - I'd say the only good advice out of this entire post is to talk to a lawyer...and I'd go further and suggest talking to a GOOD lawyer.
Yep The new anonymous system will ensure anonymity right up until the point where it doesn't.
Just like releasing copy protected CDs ensure that the CDs will not be copied until the copy protection is broken.
Not saying it's right or wrong, just saying it is.
and almost overnight, MP3Wolf started turning up zip.
.zip to .mp3 ??? :)
Maybe you need to go into Tools->Options and change the file extension from
If people appreciate the works enough to listen to it, then yes they should buy it.
If they don't appreciate that much, then they should not listen to it.
If they like it, cannot buy it,obtain it illegally and get sued by the copyright holder, then no-one should complain.
That's funny, I think it sends the message that I'd better not share any illegal (music) files or I may be next...
You are wrong.
They could charge $10,000 a copy if they want. So long as they make the source available.
Read the GPL.
