Hmm, since the Android source is open you should be able to get an Android environment up and running on Linux, kind of like a chroot environment. Since Windriver has already tweak Android to run multiple windows it should be doable =)
No, talking to someone and being able to check something over data IS an advantage, but 90+% of the time I have a WiFi signal and so I can do voice + data even with a CDMA provider. Plus with an LTE phone you can do both simultaneously if it's designed to allow it (at the cost of battery life) and in the future VoLTE will allow it as voice will just be yet another data channel.
Another good one is VMWare's VCDE, it requires a written proposal and an in-person defense.
I'm like you, most certs hold little value, show me what you've done and what you learned from it, that's the only thing that really matters. I kind of feel bad for freshly minted grads that went to a school without a coop program, they've paid all that money but are all but worthless unless a company is willing to invest at least a year in training them which costs about double their salary when you consider benefits plus the time of the people doing the training.
No, with Windows Server Enterprise you get licenses for four virtual instances of Server Standard or Server Enterprise on that same hardware. If you go with Datacenter Edition you gut unlimited virtualization rights and the ability to move VM's more than once every 90 days (or is it 30?). Almost every shop with a significant number of VM's is already licensing their hosts for Datacenter (I know we do and we run VMWare). As far as why you'd want native Openstack support, if you are going with a hybrid model where you have resources internally and externally it would allow you to have one tool chain control it all. Btw in a hybrid model you'd have to license any externally hosted VM's on a per machine basis which might make it significantly more expensive than internal resources using unlimited Datacenter rights though I expect those rights to be curtailed or the cost of datacenter licenses to go up significantly in the future since they've already gone that route with SQL Enterprise.
Microsoft has an enterprise management tool for Hyper-V, it's called Service Center Virtual Machine Manager and as you mention they've partnered with Citrix to have the ZenServer management tools able to manage Hyper-V, cloudstack is just a third such tool and IMHO the least likely to be used since most shops haven't gone cloud yet.
Oh, and as far as the pledge to fix the Openstack code here's my source. Next time do a bit of research before accusing someone of astroturfing just because the post happens to be pro-microsoft (if you bothered to check my posting history you'd see I'm no MS fanboy).
When asked if he's happy with Microsoft's contributions to Linux, he said "I am very happy with their contributions. The work that they have done on their drivers is amazing. The original driver submission was over 20 thousand lines long. Two new drivers have been added to the codebase, and lots of cleanup, making the final line count around 7 thousand lines.link
The hypervisor is fine, the Linux drivers have been cleaned up and the maintainer says everything is good now. Microsoft has made the same pledge to OpenStack, that they will work with them to clean up the code.
Yeah, the 5770 is a whole what 100MHz faster on the core clock and maybe a smidge more on the memory clock than my 5750, certainly not worth spending another $150 to "upgrade".
No, I want to game at 1080p without needing a fan and for less than $150. Basically I'm hoping for a 28nm version of the HD5750 where the process shrink can gain me a bit more DX11 performance.
So when will there be cards affordable by normal people? Also for me the biggest thing to come out of the new design is that we should be able to get a passively cooled card with more performance than the HD5750.
That's what JDAM is for, launch a series of JDAMS with a 2-3 second spread. In fact that could probably be done with a programming change to the launch control system whereas building a new bomb that we could never deliver to a highly controlled airspace (what? you're going to fly a C5 over an airspace full of SAM's?) is just stupid.
You STILL can't buy an E5 Xeon from anyone unless you were one of the few shops to order a datacenter full of them and are working with your OEM on the errata fixes. To say that the E5 Xeon isn't trailing Interlagos by much is a huge stretch since they're still essentially vaporware.
On an unrelated note WTF are they using 4GB DIMM's? 8GB DIMM's have been the sweet spot for servers for the last ~18 months. The only thing I can think of is that they don't have the internode bandwidth to effectively use a global memory space that is twice as large so even the fairly minimal system cost increase to go to 8GB DIMM's isn't justified.
I can see why the overpressure could cause the damage, what I can't understand is why something which could cause a catastrophic problem didn't have a redundant mate (unless it did and he left multiple plugs in place).
I don't know, this year has been really freaky around here. Last year was the wettest year in recorded history, breaking the previous record by a good 15+%. This winter we haven't had more than 6" of snow at once (something I can't remember happening through January in my entire life), and what we have had has been melted by rain within a day or two (also very weird, we've had snow mound in the past that made it well into May).
The B52 is probably drops the most tons of bombs per gallon of fuel consumed of any platform in the US inventory, hardly what I would call gas-guzzling.
Virgin Mobile and T-Mobile's Walmart plan are both decent. VM's plan is unlimited SMS/MMS, 300 voice minutes, 2.5GB of data then throttled, all for $35/month (my wife has the same deal at $25/month but hers is a grandfathered plan). Oh, and no fees or anything except local sales tax. You do have to buy your own phone but there is no contract. The T-Mobile plan is 5GB of data, unlimited SMS/MMS, and 100 voice minutes for $30/month. It's also a month to month plan with no device subsidy. I'm not sure if there are any extra fees since I haven't signed up for it. The one downside to these plans is no roaming so if you live in an area with spotty Sprint or T-Mobile coverage they might not work for you.
Slashdot Mirror
I guess a VM with transparent passthrough ala VMWare Fusion or Parallels is the best bet then =)
Is BlueStacks running QEMU or does it only work for the small percentage of apps not using the native SDK?

Since in was +i that means NT4.
Yeah, I remembered what it stood for, forgot that they used x for expert....
WTF are you talking about, I got my MCSE+I and never once had a question about Novell migration...

Bah, the 7700 series is only going to have ~10% more memory bandwidth than the 30 month old HD5700 series, this is supposed to be progress?
That aside I'll be looking for benchmarks since it might have a bit more DX11 oomph in the same ~85W max TDP envelope.

And so is much of the current KC-135 fleet, they were commercial 707's bought during the 80's and converted.
What? Between KC135's and C135's there are probably hundreds of active airframes not to mention the hundreds in mothballs but with airworthy frames.
