    Which again costs almost twice as much as what I have now.

    I am using dual 6 core opterons. My density is very high because I have a lot of machines that don't use any disk and very little CPU. The simple fact is ESX 5 was a giant screwjob that will probably mean 4.1 is the last version of vmware we use.

  2. Re:I ca see why on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 1

    I looked into doing something like that, the one killer feature is migrating legacy windows machines into virtualization or from one virt system to another. Only vmware seems to do that really well. I do use KVM for some other stuff, but that is a huge checkbox for a lot of folks.

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

    Bullshit. Most customers are impacted. I will have to more than double my licenses if I go to Esxi 5. The adjustment is still no where near enough. Maybe 64GB per license would be enough, maybe. 128GB would be more realistic. A 2 socket 24 core 128GB server is plenty cheap these days.

    The point is to use the ram you bought, not to use the bare fucking minimum.

    Xen is quite nice, so is KVM packaged up by RHEL.

    Neither is as nice with the pointy clickey stuff, but do you really need that? Real Vmware admins use the CLI anyway.

    The rig was sinking, water was coming out around it. This means the water backed up all the way to the surface. 20,000 feet is below 1,000, meaning the water at some point crossed that 1,000 foot deep point on its way back up.

    The water was also leaking out around the rig. The rink sinking was due to all the water coming back up the hole. Through all those layers of earth that went through the aquifer.

    What are these two most toxic chemicals?
    I ask because if they something like cadmium then 0.1% of 100,000 gallons would be 100 gallons more than enough to poison a great many people. I am not suggesting it is cadmium only that even such small quantities can be enough to poison thousands or millions of people if the substance is toxic enough.

    The EPA and GWPC are little more than mouth pieces for industry. If we at least made the ingredients of these fluids public knowledge I would be a lot more comfortable.

    My brother in law works on a rig. Last month his crew got a hammerbit stuck in the hole. They pumped hundreds of barrels of "soap" and water into the hole to try to free it. This well was communicating with others which started to leak this fluid. So now you have gas wells that are 50 years old pumping lubricating fluid instead of gas. Since that is another company, they will likely get sued. Had it been a water well they homeowner might not have the resources to do that. They ended up using explosives to free the pipe but they lost the bit and a few collars. The rig started to sink due to the vast amount of fluid pumped into the ground. How much environmental study was involved in all that?

    Except it does not work at lowering fatality rates. It kills innocent people and encourages criminals to kill witnesses.

    Including kidnapping in the list of capital offenses would only ensure the victims are always killed.

    So you think killing innocent people is just?

    I base this on the following:
    1. humans are fallible
    2. humans form juries, judges, prosecutors and police
    3. thus any use of capital punishment will invariably kill innocent people
    4. to skill believe in the use of capital punishment you must be ok with some innocent people being killed by the state.

    This has been proven time and time again with people released from death row by DNA evidence. It is also used disproportionately on the poor and minorities, even when all other factors are taken into account.

    Rehabilitation works, it only works if the system is designed for it. Your kind make sure the US system is not.
