I've been an admin of 12 ESX servers for 2 years now. I would say this a very good move for the market as frankly VMware, namely ESX, has been sitting stagnet for some time, something that Microsoft is normally called out for. I'm hoping that the battle to one-up their competitor results in some accelerated innovation in this market.
The new VS2005 R2 has some very interesting features such as iSCSI and 64 bit support. VMware can start making rapid updates to Server to compete and roll up the good stuffs into ESX for the datacenter workhorses.
Some of the supporting studios have made motions to release movies this year but no dates.
I think these have been delayed but Million Dollar Baby, The Last Samurai, Phantom of the Opera (2004) are supposed to be out next month or May.

Think of it more like the children of Quiznos' founder, eating at Subway. Or some Sony CEO kids wanting a Samsung TV for the house. More than likely they support the family business and perhaps even like to do so.
Walk around the MS campus and you'll see tons of iPods and people there certainly use Google.
This sounds more like a tongue-in-cheek quip that some reporter is taking out of context.
It's actually a little bit more muddy than that. Smed was part of Sony Interactive Studios America (SISA) which made games for Sony. He hired Brad to help make EQ. A couple years later SOE was formed and SISA was renamed 989 Studios. This was around 95-96.
Around '98 was spun off and focused on makeing PSOne games. They changed their named to Verant Interactive and EQ was released '99. In 2000, SOE bought back Verant and merged it with SOE.
So, for most of the time EQ was being funded by Sony but they had no clue to its potential and then paid to get back what they once had.
That's not a picture from the Apple II version. I'd hazzard to guess it's from a Nintendo machine.
The Apple II version was actually pretty decent. They used staggered pixel drawing bitmaps (alternate color+white) to make checkerboard-like patterns and give the graphics a nice change of pace from solid colours. Lots of graphic adventures at the time also did this.
It also doesn't help you have to pay around $40k a year for every Oracle database that is in anyway connected to the Internet (eg. Data from db eventually gets passed up through app servers/web servers).
MySQL/Postgres start to look interesting for anything less that major data stores.
Well, you have a very special arragement no doubt due to the money involved. For everyone else, buying a copy of Redhat is a 1 year license for support and updates.
You're paying for 1 year of updates and for support. It's actually very expensive considering their support is basically useless and answers are found quicker elsewhere. The two times I posted a support question, the ticket wasn't even opened/ackowledged a week later. I found the solution myself within 24 hours.
As our 1 year contracts expire, I don't renew them and all new installs run on CentOS.
Easy, she cut (ctrl-x) the portions out of the document, piece by piece, and pasted them (ctrl-v) into the fields. Then she saved the empty file when done. Probably exited the application and clicked 'Yes' when it asked to save her document because as you know, everyone clicks 'Yes' when a popup appears. No thinking involved.
In Canada, Circuit City had to rename all the Radio Shack stores to The Source. Some sort of convoluted legal thingy where they owned InterTAN which was the NoN US parts of Radio Shack for 20 years and then Radio Shack Prime decided to cut them off.
Personally, the new name gives them a fight chance at respectability albeit slim.
Pick up an LG-531 DVD player although they are hard to find these days. It can upconvert over component cables after you change the firmware. I have one hooked to my A10 and it's very sweet.
Wrong, the OPPO will give a definative picture improvement compared to letting the TV upconvert to its native res. 3:2 or progressive scan is not the same thing as the upconverting technology in some of these DVD players. The Oppo is a great player but I have an LG model that, thanks to a firmware hack, upconverts over the component output and toggling between 480p and 720p/1080i is very noticable. 720p compared to 1080i I can't really see any change but my set is only 42".

angled lines and edges, which are then processed to produce a smooth natural looking image without
visible artifacts (jaggies)
* Plays DivX® 5, DivX® 4, DivX® 3, and DivX® VOD video content (in compliance with DivX Certified(TM)
technical requirements)
* Plays XviD and.SRT,.SMI,.IDX and.SUB formats
* Per-pixel Motion Adaptive De-interlacing
* Patented FilmMode Processing C Used for proper de-interlacing of 3:2 and 2:2 pull down material
This was brought up in another movie thread and I agree with it. Hollywood doesn't make a profit on movies, this is a widely accepted fact of their tax tricks. Regardless, the money spent on a movie is sunk into Hollywood. That $122 million for The Island greased a lot of pockets, both of the studio and the sub companies that are tied to them (from food, wardrobe, lighting, effects, etc). More so that the $14M for BBM.
I was just going to say that. They manually entered relevant sites into a directory listing. It was some time before they started indexing the web as a whole like Altavista or Google.
This isn't something new, OQO has had a smaller PC that runs full XP for years and it's not all that popular. What it does have over the OQO models is price.

I've had this problem on 2.6 kernels VM's. All I had to do, was set tools.syncTime = "TRUE" in the .vmx file to keep it straight.

That's what they get for giving it to their "goto guy".

"Look closer Lenny" There is another monitor covering part of the iMac.
If you like mouse gestures, why just have them for Opera/Firefox. Install StrokeIT and have your entire OS mouse gesture ready.

Google will be hiring him shortly.

Oracle Financials. Not many used it hence Oracle's need to "buy out" the competition.
