Does this thing run the VM as some sort of hypervisor underneath the OS or does it piggyback the other OS's on a parent OS.
If It's a hypervisor like thing where all the OS's' are symmetric then I guess it must be getting in the way of my "normal" OS and limiting it to single core?
If it's not a hypervisor/symmetric VM and one OS is the master, Do all the OS's have full access to the hardware functions. So for example if I my mac is the master OS, and I set up a firewall set, does the windows OS have to go through the mac's firewall (and thus be protected better) or does it have direct access to the ports itself. If the latter who negotiates the conflicts when both want the CD or audio port.
Finally, are the VMs portabel from machine to machine. Or even platform to platform.
So If I create a VM on one machine, save it's state and open it on another machine, does it just run? (even the network settings?) What if the second machine was say an AMD and the first an Intel. What if the first host was a mac and the second host a linux machine?
That bussiness model seems pretty fair to me. Release the code GPL, free binaries for non commerical use, and sell the binaries for corporate clients. They are essentially charging companies for the time and expertise it takes to compile it. And presumably it means they only have to offer support to paying corprorate customers.
A nice thing about that model is that it caps the price at the value added. Think sun is charging too much? compile it yourself and support it yourself. The value contained in the code itself, and value added to the code by unpaid GPL contributors, is not part of the price this way.
And that's a very nice way to make money off GPL. You're not cheating the contributors at all. And anyone can go into competition with sun for the compiling. So it comes down to charging for the value added by sun in compiling and servicing it.
Not quite the same as RedHat's model but highly simmilar
There's many possible reasons. One is that not all their workers are in the US. They probably are offering support and training classes in the native language at native pay scales. And they also want to protect their product price perception. They don't want their premeir product to be priced more cheaply than a competitors inferior product simply because people unwitting equate price with quality.
With google all the results are ranked. With Cuil you mind is not quite sure if things in the same row are the same rank or what. As a result you may be inclined to scan down further till you see the picture you think is right.
in the end however you read just as many entries, but somehow the perception is that the right one was "closer to the top". But that's perceptual not actual.
Howver perception counts: if you can more quickly absorb 2-d layouts than 1-d then it's better. But of course google to do this to.
This is like out of Austin Power. Was the judge cryogentically frozen for the last 30 years?
2.5 million dollars sounds awfully low.
I think the judge may have been saysing well the rights belong to Novell and to make this contractually clear I'm going to charge you a deminimus fine.
Put a speaker or microphone in the focus, hang a bed sheet over it so no one can see what it is. Then whisper instructions to the crazy people down on the street. Play music only they can hear.
Maybe this is actually some sort of devil's bargain to put an end to the scam best buy has been running on e-bay for years. Best buy has this network of 2nd parties like "2ndTurn" and "DealTree", that simply sell-off Bestbuy closeouts. The scam is that they don't disclose they are best buy agents. So when you get to the check-out you suddenly see this whopping charge for local taxes you were not expecting.
2ndTurn lists it's address as Texas on all it's auctions so people outside of texas don't expect to pay tax since there's no @ndTrun brick and mortar stores.
But 2ndTurn is just BestBuy in sheeps clothing. Since they are one and the same they have to charge the brick-and-mortar state taxes. Yet all the complaints and abuse never gets connected to best buy.
It's a screw because people take this into account when they bid and then wind up paying 8 to 10% more than they bargained for. So best buy makes more money.
Moreover 2ndturn is vicious and aggressive about people who refuse to pay after they disclose this.
The Feynman lectures on physics are nice because they contain more insight than actual grindstone physics. And in the long run insight wins, though you still need to know the mechancis.
The nice part for you is you understand Maths already which is really the connective tissue of physics. Most textbooks are geared toward students who are still learning math. So in your search for books aim for ones taught in first year graduate courses rather than undergrad. (e.g. Jackson for Eletcrodynamics).
I'd also reccomend reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by hunter S thompson and shakespeare in the original klingon.
your suggestions seem a bit dreamy. First the gas in the ballon won't be pure. and suppose you pressureized it to 1500 psi, or 100 times as dense as the ballon. This is going to take many narrow thick steel cyllinders, and still occupy 100's of the size of the balloon. Thermodynamics says you can't get back the work.
Your suggestion is however not impossible just so far over the line its unlikely to be practical.
In addition to C libraries, Bindings for YAML exist for the following languages:

o YAML:: is a common interface to several YAML parsers.
o YAML::Tiny implements a useful subset of YAML; small, pure Perl, and faster than the full implementation.

I was just thinking with amusment what would happen if the cargo itself were Evian water. you load it with 40 tonned of evian fly it to NY city, then unload it as you pump onboard 40 tonnes of NY city tapwater. Then dead head it back to the evian plant. where they now have to dispose of 40 tonnes on NY city tap before they load it up again.
Kinda makes bottle water transport seem even more ridiculous.
each gram of helium displaces about 29 grams of air, so this requires lift equaivalent to:
14.5 thousand kilograms of helium
Now imagine you fly this somewhere. If you unload the cargo, the tiedowns have to hold 40 tonnes of pull. So you can't just teather this ting like a balloon on one end like they used to do. The needle on the empire state building was an air ship dock and all the pictures show the airships teathered oriented horizontally not point up.
So how do they do this. You might think well they could cantaleaver an moveable weight to hold the back down. But then you have to strengthen the middle to support this tension without bending plus you have to drag the weight. Worse yet if the teather erer came loose you'd suddenly have 40 tonnes of lift shooting you towards the moon like a watermelon seed.
The best Idea I can think of is you could pump water onto it at the same time you remove the cargo to keep it all neutral.
But this means no dead heading. No matter where you go the cargo is always exactly 40 tonnes. otherwise you'd have to waste 14 thousand kilograms of helium on every trip.
by the way, for comparison the cargo capactiy of the biggest 747 is 53 tonnes. ( and a DC-10 has 50% more capacity)
It's not clear to me if the cargo volume of a 747 or a blimp is bigger. On the one hand the blimp has a lot of excess lift capacity. But still if the size of the cargo area gets bigger the weight does go up.
Whoopee I can import a library too. The point is if you're never going to have to look at the serialized object then it makes no difference how you serialize it. But if you are ever going to look at it or hand edit it (e.g. a config file, document header, debug report, automatic mail parsing,.... ) then YAML is the right choice. Use the right tool.
XML still wins for typing by hand, I reckon. Tags are easier to type than holding down the spacebar or trying to get your editor to expand tabs to spaces for YAML files but not for every other file in your project.
this issue was solved by Barney Rubble about the time Jesus was still riding his dinosaur.
Exactly my feeling, I'm so tired of seeing XML used in places YAML is perfect for.
The linked article does not really hit the nail on the head on what's so great about Protocol Buffers or why it should be faster. In an article linked form the link, there's a better explanation:
Instead, we developed Protocol Buffers. Protocol Buffers allow you to define simple data structures in a special definition language, then compile them to produce classes to represent those structures in the language of your choice. These classes come complete with heavily-optimized code to parse and serialize your message in an extremely compact format. Best of all, the classes are easy to use: each field has simple "get" and "set" methods, and once you're ready, serializing the whole thing to â" or parsing it from â" a byte array or an I/O stream just takes a single method call.
So as I read that the methods of accessing a table are not generic to the DataBase but actually are individually optimized to the Data itself. That is the accessors know the structure rather than having to discover it from the markup. Presumably the code that rides around with the objects is free to contain it's own meta data, caches and pre-parsing of the records fo optimization. Yet from the outside it's just a bunch of get-set methods to provide uniform encapsulation.
My guess is the meta-data all totalled is less than all the wasted space in the XML fenceposts, plus by encapsulating they are free to compress the actual data when it makes sense.
Anyhow to all you XML folks. Stop picking up the XML cresent wrench and trying to use it as a hammer. Reach for the YAML.
Good catch! the Messerschmidt got 125 miles per gallon and carried 2 people (top speed was 50, but that was cookin' back then, and still is plenty in the city).
The main article is slashdotted, here's the summary article for the "Totemcrappen" which has a picture. Notice the priceless licensence plate which is Leet speak "Wobbly".

Surprisingly the name in germany is "totencrappen" which is the german word for "suppository coffin", but the english translation was too long, so they went with one-liter.
