Curiosity killed the cat, it appears to be MacOS compatible. It is your standard launch a bunch of browser windows and play nasty stuff type thing.. Also tries to launch your mail app.
Exactly, the reports showed that they were working two or more jobs to make ends meet. One report I watched compared the Pilot and Co-Pilot sales with Canadian equivalents with the same experience, plane and similar route. Let me put it this way, it was better to be a Co-Pilot in Canada than a US pilot the pay was that different even accounting for the currency difference. That and I believe the Canadian pilots were trained on how the auto pilot works.
Linux boot straps the hyper-visor which then takes over, then a small linux VMClient runs on top of the hyper-visor to provide an api to talk to the hyper-visor which is now managing all the low level stuff. This is a very simplified explanation but the basics is that it does not run on linux, the hyper-visor contains no linux code.
True, Nintendo is rolling in the dough because they make money on the Wii it self. The wii has the lowest attach rate of the three current consoles so most 3rd parties are suffering and not willing to invest in it.
After looking more closely at the article it sounds like they where trying to use VMWare Server instead of ESX, which explains a lot. If that was the case they were then carring the overhead of the host OS, VMLayer and the multiple guest OS. Not something you do with high performance apps.
If you are separating similar work loads like web apps and databases you are probably better off running them within the same os and database server and separating them via security as the poster realized.
However if you have a variety of services that do not do the same thing you can really benefit from separating them in virtual machines and have them share common hardware.
Virtualization also gives you some amazing fault tolerance options that are consistent across different OS and services that are much easier to manage than individual OS and service clustering options.
Other than figuring out how much you weigh this ONE accessory seems to be able to handle the functions of the WiiMote, Nunchuck, BalanceBoard and Motion Plus, without you having to purchase 4 of each and all the batteries to run them. O and it ads a camera with mic / voice support. You can get a mic for the Wii now as well but I think animal crossing is the only game that supports it so far.
The numbers still indicate you were being in efficient to the extreme. I grew up in Edmonton were the costs would be very similar.
1. $100 to fill up in the province of Alberta means your vehicle had a large fuel tank even accounting for you doing this when the fuel prices peeked at about $1.20/L or $1.30/L. I drive a LARGE car with about a 60L tank, I am guessing you were driving a Truck/SUV.
2. $650/Month payments means you had a short term or spent more than average.
3. new driver + SUV or Sports car = expensive insurance in Alberta. However if this was recent enough to be around the peak gas prices it would have been after they changed the insurance system so that it didn't screw new drivers as much so I am at a loss here. Your numbers are just crazy high.
The biggest problem I see with those getting into virtualization is that they think that virtualizing things makes them magically need fewer resources.
You can share CPU time as most apps will not drive the CPU 100%, having said that it is often best to have as many cores as you can afford.
Do not over allocate your RAM, if you can have as much ram as needed for how much you allocate to the VMs, if you over lap you will get a huge performance hit.
Sparse disk is a fairly new feature only in some VM systems, you will need lots of disk for all of the VMs, also you will probably want to run them on different LUNs or disk groups so you don't get lots of thrashing on the drives.
If you are only running 1 or 2 VMs as a test then really all you need is to up the ram a little and make sure the host meets the minimum specs of the VM applications.
How warm, warm is and how cold, cold is is more dependent on your local climate than any number system.
I moved from a very dry climate with a wide temperature range of -40C to +35C (ya summer and winter can be both uncomfortable. To a humid climate with a range of more like -15C to +30C.
I tell you the house FEELS completely different based on the elevation and humidity.
O and were do you purchase these perfect heating and cooling systems that hold the house at 1 degree all the time? Most heating systems I have used tend to cycle on and off bouncing the room temp by about 5C at times while they catch up or turn off.
The Xbox 360 has 3 powerful general purpus processors each cabable of a full range of processing functions and a Powerfull GPU.
Sounds like lots of Multithreading potential to me
The PS3 has a moderatly powerfull general core wraped with 8 narrow function modules, and a GPU that was slapped in in late development.
Multi threading is already hard to do right by fingring out what jobs can be done at the same time, sony makes it even harder by limiting the TYPES of jobs that can be done by these 8 limited cores.
After the OS is installed you: -Spend hours dicking around with the video drivers because you happen to have one of the cards that just doesn't work or have acceleration - Figuring out why multi monitor support doesn't work - Purchasing a new printer because none of the features on your multifunction scanner/Fax/Printer work - Figuring out how to get the extra buttons working on your mouse that has more than 3 buttons. - Installing WINE and figuring it out so you can run your productivity software and games
Many plugins available and can be run as a screen saver. It is a VERY VERY flexible system for visualizing monitoring point data. Supports WMI built in, command ling, scripting, plugins for SNMP you name it.
No what he was saying is that currently you have to with a different set set of explosion code depending on your app running on a DirectX system an OpenGL system or a console. If they they all just had CPUs with lots of cores you could write a general explosion with a few minor tweaks needed for consoles with specific CPUs.
More cores means more general CPU instead of some GPU that has does a few limited things fast.
Not only that the blanket keep shrinking in the wash anyway, so moving the end around doesn't matter as the blanket will be too short in any direction in a few weeks anyway.
The and Update system in AVG 8.0 is vastly improved.
I was using Avast and and installed it for several family members only to have one of them get a HORRID spyware infection.
Interestingly AVAST did not detect it at all, Spybot and Ad-aware could not completely remove it, but after installing AVG 8.0 it cleaned everything up.
After checking several reviews it seems AVG 8.0 has one of the best Virus and Spyware detection rates among current products.
Sorry your right basic out bound balancing is not that bad, however getting the traffic evenly split is not something I have seen in a linux config. Most cases I have seen depend on one link being congested before the other starts to get use. Maybe this has changed since the last time I tried it.
Boxes like the Xincom take the pain out of the whole ordeal for the most part.
The last time I researched this the Xincom dual wan routers were the best option.
1. Linux can do this in theory.. A) fail over isn't too hard to find in distros such as Monowall and ipCop. B) load balancing inbound/outbound is only a theory or a kernel patch set, you would have to hack your self a solution.
2. Alternative vendors such as the Linksys dual WAN routers have had BAD reviews. Reviews of the Xincom devices were VERY good, but they dropped their cheapest model a while ago from what I remember.
As others have said do NOT get 2 ADSL connections as they will have the same chance of failure since the local loop will be the same. Go with two different types of connection, ADSL + Cable, or maybe one of the new Wireless solutions.

Not at really, however linux is used.

Eventually? Using the same brand of batteries I was burning through them in the wiimote twice as fast as the ones in my xbox controllers.
I purchased two different kinds of rechargeable batteries for my wii motes and the performance of those was even worse.

Exactly! there are only a hand full of time travel plots I have enjoyed.
1. The voyage home because it is funny.
2. The two part stng that starts with finding data's head in a cave.
Voyager and enterprise where gutted because everything was temperal this and that!

Sure as everyone just needs the OS installed.
After the OS is installed you:
-Spend hours dicking around with the video drivers because you happen to have one of the cards that just doesn't work or have acceleration
- Figuring out why multi monitor support doesn't work
- Purchasing a new printer because none of the features on your multifunction scanner/Fax/Printer work
- Figuring out how to get the extra buttons working on your mouse that has more than 3 buttons.
- Installing WINE and figuring it out so you can run your productivity software and games
And on and on and on
Ya, I was thinking the same thing. It would only work for woman to woman calls were they are able to fully duplex the conversation without pause.
I don't think you can power any think on uh-hu, yes, maybe, ok, and goodbye.

The ASUS EEE PC would probably fit the bill with a SD card as the storage media as well as a copy of the date on the EEE PC internal drive.
I would store it without the battery though as that will likely explode in that time frame.
Toss in A DVD drive and DVD copy for good measure.
DVDs and SD are both fairly popular formats and have already gone through iterations that have maintained backward compatibility.
Since it is ALREADY a problem with conventional RAM, it will only make the issue a little worse.
Security and encryption software could be written in such a way that before memory is freed is is randomized.
I am sure it could be added to the OS layer of memory management as well so that all free memory gets randomized.

Yes, go grab the almost half dozen OpenSource subsystems it built on, and purchase as server of your own to run them on.
Now take the next X weeks to build and test them together and be prepared to update each subsystem as new releases come out.
If you have piles of time to do this sort of thing on your own for free (if your time is free), then this is not the solution for you.
