    You can get PATA from http://eshop.macsales.com/search/3.5+Internal+IDE/ATA

    They sell them for older Macs, but they're just IDE/ATA (PATA) drives. Nothing special about them.

    I am kind of curious why something trivial like Time Machine hasn't appeared on Windows.

    Boot sectors are overwritten by things like GRUB. I'm sure even Windows is smart enough to write the boot sector when it's installing.
    That's like a 101 kind of thing.

    No, trying to "fix" a computer that's been compromised is and always has been fruitless.

    That sounds great, in a world where kids are dropping out of high school at 15. In a utopia that'd be good, in the real world we'd just have people being unemployed more.

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

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

    Virtualization = FULL emulation (e.g. VMWare, VirtualBox, XEN, Parallels)
    Compartmentalization = compartmentalization of memory and permissions. (e.g. OpenVZ, *BSD jails, User-mode Linux, Kernel-mode Linux, etc)

    I figured I'd let you know that since you seem to think that hypervisors should be defeated by compartmentalization...

    Thanks for that insight, it's nice to see the other side, or the other-other side.
    I also love how people use the term poor, middle-class, and upper-class. (not that you've misused it, just in general)
    Especially when it's relative to the entire population's income, or just perspective.

    There is a strong call to turn back 300 years of progress and make religion a guiding force in our government and educational systems.

    If the religion was built with those rules, then by very definition is is caused by the religion... It's not like some religion was handed to someone by a hand out of space, it was written by regular people.

    Seems pretty straight forward... I found both of the installation instructions in less than 30 seconds total.

    prerequisite: apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
    1. Download Minecraft for "Linux/Other" from www.minecraft.net/download download-page.png
    2. To do this, right click on the minecraft.jar link on the download page, click "Save Link as" (in Firefox - other browsers may word this differently), and navigate to your desktop folder as illustrated. Then click Save to save it to your desktop. save-to-desktop.png
    3. Right-click on the file and select "Properties"
    4. On the "Permissions" tab, check the "Allow executing file as a program" checkbox, as illustrated. permissions-execute.png
    5. On the "Open With" tab, select "OpenJDK Java 6/7 Runtime" (depending on the version you have installed), and click "Set as Default" in the bottom-right of the window. This will cause all .jar files to automatically open in the Java Runtime in the future, and this step (Step 5) will not need repeating if you were to download Minecraft again and open the file on the same user account on the same computer. However, for each individual computer user/account, this process would need repeating on each individual account that is to play Minecraft. java-default.png
    6. That's it! Just double click the minecraft.jar file on your desktop to start up the game! The Minecraft Launcher will work the same way as Windows or Mac from here on in.
