When you log onto the virtual machine after verifying your email. It will run a setup wizard and ask you your name, and then click next and it will ask you who referred you and if you have a promo code and then you enter it.
If it says you have a problem with your name, it is because it does not appear in their dictionary, just click the "Finish" button to exit after entering your referral name and promo code, in order to get the extra 10gigs of storage credit.
Ghost Virtual Machine gives 15gigs of Amazon.com data storage and right now if you use the promotion code of "launch" you get 10Gigs more as a bonus for 25Gigs. If you want to give me a referral my id is orion_blastar there, and each person you referred grants you 5Gigs more in a bonus.
Google Docs also has document storage but does not give as much as G.ho.st does. The Ghost Virtual Machine can access your Google Docs drive as well.
Of course if they reduce the population, they have less people that need electricity and water. Sad as that sounds, it might be included as part of the solution to kill off energy and water hogs?
etc, I don't want it done via taking away rights and freedoms and forcing people to not use electronic devices until off-peak hours. I also don't want it done in a way, like cap and trade, that makes energy use so expensive that it costs jobs and forces poor people to go without electricity.
This "Smart Grid" has a way of spying on a home owners (or renters) privacy as well as shutting off devices so that they cannot use them until off-peak hours. Can you imagine your washing and drier being shut off, and you need to get three loads of clothes done, and you are forced to wear dirty clothes until the washer and drier can be turned back on. Not only that but sweating it out during the summer when the A/C is turned off by the grid and possibly dying of heat stroke and freezing to death in the winter when the heater is forced off until it turns back on during non-peak hours. I got a feeling there will be a lot of death by the smart grid lawsuits if this thing passes.
How did NASA (Need Another Seven Astronauts) manage to make a replacement for the Space Shuttle that is actually more dangerous to the crew than a Space Shuttle with loose heat absorbing titles or malfunctioning O-Rings?
Was this "design flaw" in the Apollo series and the public was not made aware that aborting an Apollo rocket would kill the crew 100% guaranteed?
Actually I should have said "entire cast" as Futurerama is supposed to do and SNL did on a regular basis.
Doctor Who only replaced the Doctor and other Time Lords like The Master and Romana. But the companions stayed the same and were not replaced, just left, and later some of the companions came back played by the same people later on in the show. Esp the New Doctor Who and the Torchwood people. So Doctor Who does not count, esp when they have a special and the old Doctor Who actors reappear as well for multiple Doctor Whos.
on the show? The crew gets into a horrible accident that requires them to get voice box transplants, and Bender's voice gets erased and he is programmed with a different one.
This is almost as bad in a TV series when an actor or actress is replaced with a different one, and it usually happens to Soap Operas and really Cheesy TV shows. The only TV show to do this on a regular basis and still survive was Saturday Night Live, who kept reinventing themselves with new comedians.
Satellite signals are beamed all over the country, they are not the same as cars, more like data.
Imagine if you had your Wireless network set up, and your next door neighbor uses a Wireless cracking program to crack your WPA key, and then uses it to surf for porn and other stuff, that your Internet account gets accused of doing. Would you get upset at your neighbor for hacking your Wireless network, or just let him/her get all of the free Internet and you foot the bill and the responsibility?
In the same way you pay for a DirecTV or Dishnetwork decryption key via your smart card to unlock your satellite signals in order to view your programming. Do you want a neighbor to break into your house, copy your decryption key and then use it for all of the free Pay Per Views that get charged to your account and not his/her account because they stole your key?
Companies and People like those mentioned in this article are the reason why I keep getting new smartcards for my satellite programming every once in a while. It means someone or some company broke their encryption and now they have to offer new cards with a different encryption/decryption codes on them. I pay for my programming, I do not get it for free.
I don't think that much research has been done for things like wind and solar power taking away energy from the ecosystem.
In fact global warming and climate change are still being researched and nobody can tell when we will reach a danger point of coastlines being flooded and other side-effects considered, usually science is accurate enough to at least pinpoint it down to a few years before those sort of things start to happen.
It is true that there are more questions than answers, but the Genie is already out of the bottle with Cap and Trade being passed or ready to be passed with the Democratic Majority in Congress and Barack Obama will sign it into law.
If Apple already has a deal with AT&T for the iPhone, why make a deal with Verizon for the MacPad? It seems like Apple and AT&T can bundle iPhone and MacPad service in one bill to save the customer money.
Why would Apple make a MacPad that costs less than a MacBook with almost the same technology? Why not lower the price of a MacBook and then include a mobile wireless modem in it with a wireless plan to cut down on the costs because buying the MacBook bundle will lower the cost of the MacBook and then make up the difference via the Internet service plan.
Also what if Apple calls it the iPad or something else?
Also what if Apple bought 10 inch screens for a 10 inch MacBook instead of a MacPad?
Also what if Apple hired a handwriting expert to improve the Mac OSX Inkwell program instead of creating a MacPad?
It would be ironic if rapid Mac Fanboys make up shit about an Apple product just to make the frontpage of Slashdot, and then Apple decides that it is a good enough idea and then makes it anyway.
"Hey I'll buy anything from Apple as long as it is shiny and cool looking." -Typical Mac Fanboy from The Onion.
Yeah well they could have just named it Windows 2009 instead of Windows 7, or even Windows 6.1 or something like that. But number 7 is considered "lucky" by some people so maybe they went with that.
There is more to running a business that document management, email, calendar, newsgroups, and what the Google Apps that run under Chrome OS can offer.
Maybe the Network Computer can offer "generic" services via the cloud for home users and some cloud based services via Non-Google web sites, but there is a lot of "Legacy Windows Software" that has no Cloud version or Linux version, or any version that runs on anything besides Windows XP or lower.
The time of the Network Computer is when most business applications have been written to run in the Cloud that Google and the Chrome OS and Web browser use.
Even then some people and organizations might not use it as their data is stored somewhere else, and it opens it up over the Internet to hackers who can steal their data by hacking Google's virtual web servers etc.
The only reason why XP is so popular is because it can run "Legacy Windows Software" better than Vista or Windows 7 beta.
Does the Chrome OS run "Legacy Windows Software"? No it does not, so it is not a good replacement for Windows XP. The only way the Chrome OS netbook can succeed is by running all applications on the "Cloud" via the Chrome web browser which is part of the Chrome OS.
Why does this matter? In order to beat Windows XP it not only has to run applications in the "Cloud" it has to run applications that businesses need to run to keep their businesses going. Not just accounting software and tax software, but each business has their own system they either develop their own custom software for or they buy commercial software to do it for them.
I used to work for a small business that made surgical tray inventory software. It ran in Windows 98 with Visual BASIC 6.0 code and MS-Access and MS-SQL Server databases. It required barcode scanners or RFID chip technology to keep track of each tray, etc. They were not the only company to invent such a program, dozens more in the USA offer the same sort of software and service. Hospitals need this software to run their business and avoid infections by properly cleaning surgical tools in each tray, designed for each surgery. Some surgical tools can be steam cleaned, while others cannot and steam cleaning them would ruin them. So the software has to know which tools to remove and clean a different way when steam cleaning a tray. If Chrome OS cannot provide software like that, hospitals will continue to use a Windows solution.
That is just one out of millions of examples.
Another example is Legal Practice Management Software, or Medical Practice Management Software, as all law and medical records are supposed to become electronic.
But wait there is more, PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) using RLL (Relay Ladder Logic) are used for many manufacturing jobs and automated systems like 911 CAD (Computer Automated Dispatch) and the PLC programmable software runs in XP and not Vista or Windows 7, and has no Chrome OS version, and requires a serial port (replaced by USB on most modern systems) to program the PLC devices. Does a Netbook with Chrome OS have a serial port and software to program a PLC in RLL yet? Nope.
Until software like that can be made for Network Computers or Chrome OS Netbooks or Linux, companies are still going to use Windows XP and Windows systems.
Considering that my XP version is used to upgrade to Windows 7, I might not have a dual boot for XP without buying a second copy of XP for that purpose.
I think that, and I could be wrong here, that using my current XP license to upgrade to Windows 7 will make my XP key not activate anymore because Microsoft marks it as invalid after the upgrade. So I upgrade from XP using the reformat option, Windows 7.0 reformats my XP partition and installs Windows 7, and then I shrink the partition and install my XP with my old key, and then it may not activate anymore online because I used it to upgrade to Windows 7.0. Had I bought a fresh install and not an upgrade version of Windows 7 I could dual boot both 7 and XP, but the full version of Windows 7 is too expensive for me to buy.
Fedora 11 does not have the license issues that Windows has, and I can freely install as many copies of Fedora 11 as I wish to, without having to worry about activation. Fedora 11 can handle my email and web surfing until I can get Windows 7 fixed or find a way back to XP by buying a new license or asking Microsoft for a refund and get my XP key active again.
You forgot Windows NT 4.0 which used a number after Windows 3.11 and that Windows 95 and 98 and 2000 are numbers, but named after years released and not versions.
I use floating point numbers for versions, as most developers do. I have a habit of adding a.0 after the 7 because of that. The current build of Windows 7 is 7600 which should make it 7.6 and not 6.1. Windows 2000 was 5.0, Windows XP was 5.1, and Windows Vista was 6.0, which is how Windows 7 was named I guess?
The Network Computer was developed by Oracle and partners to take out Microsoft and Microsoft Windows.
The Network Computer was a diskless workstation that used the Internet for storage was supposed to take out or at least compete with Microsoft. It ran things like JavaOS, etc. It eventually flopped.
Oracle eventually bought out Sun, one of the Network Computers partners.
The Chrome OS netbook is basically another Network Computer type scenario, designed to take out Microsoft or at least compete with it. Good luck, but remember that others who did the same thing before have failed. The web browser for the Network Computer was Netscape, the web browser for the Chrome OS is Google Chrome.
If it wasn't for the Mozilla foundation, Netscape code would no longer be used, because Netscape was open sourced as the Mozilla, Seamonkey, and Firefox web browsers, it still exists in some form but the original Netscape is gone.
Because the beta version may not be the same as the RTM version. By the time the RTM version comes out, some softwre incompatible issues may be resolved by them.
Right now I am running the Windows 7 beta in VirtualBox as a test. But I would not run it as my main OS, just in case there is a bug that prevents me from doing something.
We do exercise, and he has his sports games that he plays in that I go to watch the game as well. We do have camping trips and hikes from time to time as well. We even study martial arts together, and are both learning the Thai language as well. So yeah we do take real-life risks as well as computer risks.
Contrary to popular knowledge, we computer geeks and our families usually enjoy things other than just computers and technologies. Thanks for the advice, though I didn't need it and already do those things. I hope you didn't think I am a stereotype computer geek that does nothing but sit at a computer all day and my family are the same way, which is not true. I hate it when people use stereotypes on me and my family and others like that. Slashdot is about technology and tends, we rarely post about hiking and baseball and other non-technical things.
If all I did was sit at a computer all day, I'd be able to finish the books I am writing and develop software that I want to, but real life and non-computer events and responsibility take me away from the computer so I can do other things.
Fair use serves a crucial role in limiting the reach of what would otherwise be an intolerably expansive grant of rights to copyright owners. Were it not for the fair use doctrine, each of the following activities would be infringing:
* whistling a tune while walking down the street (public performance)

* photocopying a newspaper article for your files (reproduction)
* quoting a line from The Simpsons in an email to a coworker (reproduction)
* reverse engineering of computer code (reproduction)
* "time-shifting" a radio or television program (reproduction)
* playing an excerpt of Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" in a copyright law course (public performance)

If you ever took an art class, you know that they use such things as pictures and then ask you to create your own art from it. If this case is found guilty of copyright impingement, then art classes will be outlawed or drastically changed so that one cannot create art from a photograph.
It is not a photocopy, it is art, it is not an exact copy, it is different in a certain way as an art form goes.
If this case is valid, then artists everywhere will lose their rights and freedoms to create art just like it.

Here is a review of the top 5 online cloud storage sites so you can take your pick.
MyBloop offers unlimited free storage, but I am not 100% sure of that or their privacy policy.
Lifehacker talks about using your Yahoo Mail account for unlimited storage and also that Google's GMail almost offers the same service as well.
All of the good Dotcom Business Plans and domain names are already taken, eh?

Over here are the Russian's versions of George Orwell's works translated into English and as far as I know the Russians licensed the texts from various estates in 2004 and set up this web site.
The books can be download in RTF, HTML, and Text formats, no PDFs that I know of.
In Russia the copyrights are different because it is a different set of laws. This is the web page on the copyright etc and this page says for educational and non-commercial use only. So I guess you cannot republish the works, but you can read them from the web site as long as it is educational and for non-commercial use only.
That is a wrong analogy.

and then the ChromePad by Google and the LinPad by Linux companies.
Might as well cover all the bases here.
Let me see how this plays out for a business plan.
#1 Create BS story about Apple technology to make the Slashdot front page.
#2 ?
#3 Profit!
It seems to follow an Underpants Gnomes Business Model there.
