  1. Re:Enough competing hypervisors already!! on VMware To Join OpenStack Foundation · · Score: 1

    I do not think virtualization means what you think it means.

    I can assure you, your thoughts have nothing to do with reality.

    Virtualization = FULL emulation (e.g. VMWare, VirtualBox, XEN, Parallels)

    And this technology has no place in OS design. It's a completely spurious level of indirection used as a crutch for broken operating systems. Last time it was legitimate, it was used on IBM mainframes to run nested instances of operating systems, because consistent kernel/userspace interface was not invented yet.

    Basically, virtualization system's developer says: "I don't care what is at the level below hypervisor -- hardware must SERVE ME! I don't care what is at the level above hypervisor -- OS must SERVE ME! I don't care if your OS has millions times better scheduler, virtual memory, filesystems, anything -- I will put my ham-fisted interface into every path between hardware and software, so you all can just as well write it as if you are retarded monkeys -- BECAUSE I AM THE PERPETUAL BOTTLENECK, AND YOU CAN DO NOTHING, NOTHING ABOUT IT!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

    Naturally, OS that is already designed worse than any hypervisor imaginable, does not suffers from this at all.

    What SHOULD happen, is all hypervisors defeated by OS-implemented host compartmentalization (LXC and similar).

    Virtualization is great for development, testing and running craptastic operating systems that you really, really hate to run but can't get rid of (what means Windows for sane people).

    Condemning Communism because of the actions of Stalin or Mao is simply ignorant.

    My dear, you are an ignorant cretin when saying these cretinous words. Both Stain and Mao *applied* the Communist doctrine and in doing so they sent tens of millions to their graves. The actions of Stalin and Mao were undoubtedly a direct consequence of their Communist policies.

    When you're too brainwashed to accept facts, please stop commenting on them on the Internet, you're wasting precious bandwidth.

    I have absolutely nothing against any effort to shout down idiocy like this -- by former KGB or anyone else. US propaganda filled up all forms of media to the point of saturation, mostly in the form of the idiots (like one quoted above) repeating other idiots' statements without understanding their origin, creating a veneer of legitimacy for blatantly baseless propaganda talking points.

    After all, it's less work (and less aggravation) for me.

    Sure, doing something in Anonymous' name that even a minority of "members" dislike would probably be a tactical mistake,

    Most things "done by Anonymous" were followed by massive Internet flame outbursts directed toward the people who performed them -- supposed "newfags" who are "not really Anonymous". I think, the only action that did not provoke such reaction was the original Habbo Hotel invasion (of "Pool is closed due to AIDS" fame).

    What the hell? Free ride? I paid for my hardware, thank you.

    It's called "raising the drawbridge". Once a group of worthless greedy assholes used some existing wonderful resource or phenomenon for their own benefit, assholes are eager to destroy it, so no one can use it to challenge them in the future. To justify this, they claim that others are "freeloaders" and "don't deserve" to use something as great as the resource being destroyed.

    Among other examples are "international" patents on drugs and other patent-related bullshit, copyrights and trademarks on formerly freely-distributable material (from Disney to Tivo-ization), and even "non-proliferation of nuclear weapons" when promoted by the country that can be only deterred from invasion by nuclear weapons.

    I worked with networked computers in professional capacity longer than all of you combined, and I completely agree with the person you are replying to.

    You are absolutely definitely unqualified to make any design decisions about the project you have described. The design is stupid, requirements are idiotic, and if iot was implemented in such manner it would not work for many reasons that you don't seem to be capable of understanding.

    No, that's a comparison with American Social Conservative ideology that touts the wonders of weak leaders/government and "The People" (corporations and ultra-rich) in control of everything.

    The rest of the world, including Russia, went through this crap over Industrial Revolution, and wants none of it. US had feudalism surviving in the South through the whole 19th century, then artificial economic crisis, then war, then more war, so people were distracted from the horrors of industry-financial oligarchy until the end of 20th century. In other words, Americans are a century and a half behind.
