Ok, you don't work in IT right? At least not on the admin side.
VM are mainly about server consolidation. That means that given the fact that servers are usually under utilized you can put quite a number of VM per core. Usually for server workloads the number is around 2: 2VM * 4 cores * 2 cpu (typical blade) yields 16 VM. You see, in the end the power company gets paid only for a physical server every 16 OS instances. Not bad.
Server consolidation is not the only reason you use virtualization. Other issues you can solve are: high availability and fault tolerance, quick deployment of new servers, hardware abstraction and many others
Ok, maybe I've completely missed the boat her but...I still don't understand the whole iTunes hystaria...
Why pay for proprietary formats of music that you can only play on certain devices? My Palm Pre plays MP3s, why would I want to go out of my way to make it sync up with something that requires me to pay for music?
AAC is not more proprietary as MP3, both are patent encumbered. You should then choose OGG. I'm fine with AAC as it gives me same quality of MP3 at lower bitrates.
I had the iPhone for a while, I never used the iTunes thing. I never saw any reason, and I could never figure out how to get it to play MP3s.
Is dragging.mp3 files into the itunes windows so difficult? Anyone with opposable thumbs should be able to do it.
This is the epilogue from "Blood Meridian", a novel of McCarthy:
"In the dawn there is a man progressing over the plain by means of holes, which he is making in the ground. He uses an implement with two handles and he chocks it into the hole and he enkindles the stone into the hole with he steel, hole by hole, striking the fire out of the rock, which God has put there. On the plain behind him are the wanderers in search of bones, and those who do not search. And they move haltingly in the light, likes mechanisms whose movements are monitored with escapement and palate, so that they appear restrained by a prudence or reflectiveness which has no inner reality. And they cross in their progress one by one that track of holes that runs to the rim of the visible ground and which seems less the pursuit of some continuance than the verification of a principle, a validation of sequence and causality. As if each round and perfect hole owed its existence to the one before it there on that prairie, upon which are the bones and the gatherers of bones, and those who do not gather. He strikes fire in the hole and draws out his steel. Then they all move on again."
Look, I'm not a pacifist: I know that sometimes violence is needed. But I try to respect dead people. Maybe it's just another forma mentis, maybe it's my colture.
Yes you are right, only 20 person killed sorry:-( But 6 months of prison for killing 20 person, is a bit too less. You agree? >The pilot was found guilty of destroying evidence. Yeah, and who killed the 20 people then? The Usaf outdated maps or what? The same old shit, 20 people where killed and no one pays for it! feel free to continue this discussion by email cristiano@mmp.it, I am intrested on known what Usa people think about this.

Because hyperthreading gives you an additional 20/35% of performance in virtualized workloads. Those chips are meant for ESX server farms.
Yes, but at least you have no downtime during the VM upgrade. If you use a mature virtualization product
Yes, between 10 seconds and a minute.. ;) left click, migrate and BOOM
UCS B-250, the B-200 tops out at 96MB when using 8GB DIMM

You think you are funny? You should see the fotage of burned civilians. Try to joke about phosphorus then
