  1. Re:Only "troubled" if you're not Lockheed Martin on The F-35 Story · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It is a worse aircraft and almost as expensive if not more so now, then the F-22. It is also many years later. Had we kept building F-22s the price would have gone down.

    Clock the old nook up to 1.2Ghz and flash is fine.

    With CM7 it makes a really great tablet. I use mine all the time. You can install the Nook app, so you really lose nothing at all. Netflix works great on it.

    The old nook has a smooth browsing experience. I don't see how Silk is going to help unless you have a hopelessly pathetic Internet connection.

  6. So worse than the current nook? on B&N Releases Nook Tablet To Rival Amazon Fire · · Score: 1, Informative

    I have a nook color, with CM7. I have the google market, amazon market, both nook and kindle app and netflix. I am sure if I cared I could have hulu premium as well.

    They have no social services to speak of, they have no regulation or enforcement that anyone cares about and have little to no need for public buy-in or consensus. You show me an efficient government and I will show you an oppressive one.

    They don't have any communism. They have fascism rebranded as communism.

    Jet fuel is not that flammable, nor is there enough air present in the tanks. You would just have a hole in the plane and it would leak a little fuel.

    You are right though there really is no terrorist threat.

    It does not protect against any patents of the from "Doing X, but on a mobile device!". Which is what much of the java suits are about.

    I do like android. I do choose it over iOS and WInphone. If a better and more FREE(libre not gratis) mobile OS becomes available I will use that.

    Which means nothing as far as getting sued over patents goes.

    If Dalvik had tried to use the C# namespace and been closer to it then Google would be just as sued.

    I am not always converting windows machines. Besides installing the vmware toolks would not be a good thing if we plan to use the image for kvm.

    But interesting idea.

    I never suggested they were Chinese, I mentioned them because they make low end phones and midrange phones like the one you have. Samsung, HTC and Moto are the ones making high end phones, while LG is making single cpu phones using last years hardware.

    Just admit it, you're just trolling. Not a very good one either.

    Biggest chunk of the market is not failing.

    Indeed I do. They claim it means "Life's Good", but it really stands for "Lucky Goldstar" the old company name. They still make garbage low end phones.

  17. Re:Not soon on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 1

    I am not crying, I am pointing out why vmware is losing another customer. You know, what the article is about. The oracle offering is a bigger joke than Hyper-V. The only other options are Xen and KVM.

    Recommending physical machines for something that does not touch disk after starting, needs a bunch of ram and does not need much CPU sounds like you really are not sure what we are talking about here.

    Batteries would die first though, numbnuts. They have the lowest heat tolerance. No mobile OS does what you are talking about.

    Stop already, you are only making yourself sound dumber.

    This is bullshit and you are clearly trolling.
    If it was the case the batteries would fail from heat. That is not happening, thus you are just a troll.

    Google has never made hardware. They contract out the making of Nexus phone the latest of which are Samsung hardware. Google owns a manufacturer but is not one.

    Or more likely many of the Android phones are poorly made. ZTE, LG, and every other no name chinese flyby night has an android phone. No surprise they break a lot.

    Add to that they are often free with contact and you get these poorly made phones ending up in the abusive little hands of children.

    Good point. I use that to get machines into vmware already. Never thought about feeding those to KVM.

  24. Re:Not soon on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 1

    I licensed the correct edition for 4.1, the drastic change to 5.0 licensing screwed me. The old version of licensed by CPU alone, so I went for features I needed and CPUs I had. The sudden addition of RAM into the licensing blindsided me and many other vmware users.

    I would not use Hyper-V for anything. You even suggesting it proves you are more sales drone than geek. The vast majority of my VMs are not even Windows machines, so you recommending data-center is pretty hilarious.

  25. Re:I ca see why on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 2

    You fix it yourself, or go back to the physical box until you can migrate by rebuilding from scratch if need be.

    Not everything needs tons of support contracts. Centos is widely used in the enterprise market with no support at all. Support is by far and wide over rated. I would 90% of the support tickets I open with companies I find a resolution before the support person does.
