there are a ton of comments about how only the US is in on the embargo - and that not a single other country joins them in it. Now you say that it is a crushing embargo that a 'lot' of nations are enforcing. just as a point of curiosity - which is it?
No - if Cuba wants the embargo lifted - they need to persuade the politically strong Cuban-American groups that work so hard to keep the embargo in place. This issue, like so many others - has deeper roots and issues than your humorous comment allows.
Right - there is an intersection here of two completely different user groups - I belong to both myself. I use vmware server on my personal/work machine - so that I can have xp available for a couple windows only apps that I must use. In the datacenter we use a mix of aix virtualization on p5s and esx. virtualization in the datacenter is bringing our organization a number of benefits that server can't provide. My understanding is that one feature is moving virtual machines from one host to another on the fly. There are probably more - but I'm a dba so I'm at the edges of this stuff.
I just think at this stage in the game, as the article implies, the primary focus is the datacenter. And 3d just doesn't matter there in the vast majority of the cases. Certainly not enough to make 3d a top priority.
Not just for xen - but if you are interested in virtualization in general. Lots of links to many other products - open and closed. So if you aren't into xen, but still want to know about what is going on in this space (to some extent - they don't even touch the stuff IBM is doing really) then it's worth the time.
For what it is worth, embedding the link in the sentence "They have come a long way from even just a year ago." is really not giving any information about the link - it's already been pointed out how inaccurate that is. That is not to say that this whole thing has not been rather embarrassing. But if that was the dumbest thing I did today, I'd be doing pretty well over all.
I watched a documentary about the 767 (I think that was it anyway) where they showed them snapping the wings - and it was pretty awesome. Off to search the intarwebs- that video has to be out there.
so are you ambidextrous - or does each thing have a preferred style? can you switch hit (this is assuming you play baseball - or cricket I guess)
I read somewhere a while back that one theory is that some people are born right handed - and others are born with no preference. Of those born without preference, some become right handed and others left. This does seem to be born out in the number of people who are left handed, but only for some of their activities.
exactly. i didn't say anything about $200M and basically everything else you've said backs up my point. building stuff is expensive - so i'd be interested to see how they can build a rocket that can meet the demands of this competition on that budget.
those guys building one in their garage for under two hundred grand have set a tough task for themselves. the other night on american inventor they had a guy who has put more than that into developing a toy centered around drag racing match box cars.
ah. too used to thinking in terms of doing stuff on my own. used to use two mice at work until i found out about synergy. but that really wont help multiple users.
technology is what moved people from a place where they depended on lightning strikes to provide fire. technology is what allowed hunter-gatherers to cease their nomadic wandering. and it just keeps going- and will.
just imagine if the power glove had ever taken off! reading your post made me picture someone sitting, arms spread wide with one of these mice in each hand and for some reason it struck me as absolutely hilarious.
It seems - from a rather quick glance on my part - that a lot of stuff maps across pretty close as far as price number-wise (sorry I don't know the correct terminology to describe this - but for instance the DVD "Flags of Our Fathers" is 17.49 dollars and 19.49 pounds - not close in terms of value - but a similar price point) so I'm guessing, based on my very limited knowledge of economics that this has to do with the dollar being weak? So it may cost you a lot in the UK or other parts of Europe, but would be a much better deal if you happened to be here in the US - where your money would be worth more than mine.

you are obviously not dedicated. get back to us when you are.
as long as they don't start dragging people into court - they are entitled to 'feel' however they want about it.
Thank you - best laugh I've had all day. What should we call this all in one thing? I don't think anything like it has ever been done before. :)

because US laws and export restrictions never change. ever.

server (free) and esx (expensive (to me anyway)) are very different products, and many of the really attractive features exist only in esx.

i'm not looking at tfa for at least another few hours - this is /. and there are standards to uphold.
I've ridden in military aircraft - you are better off with what you have - trust me.
I was wrong - 777. and the video is here - what a wonderful age we live in.

Grindel? Is this a localization thing? I have never heard of Grindel - Grendel, but not Grindel.

you are completely correct.

There is a left handed version - costs a little more, but does exist.
