How would it phoning home make things different? All the software sees is the inside of the VM, which remains the same.
Phoning home could prevent two different copies of the VM running at the same time - which is not the point. If my computer dies, I should be able to transfer legally acquired software from the old, dead machine to the new one. By running Office inside a VM, the user can do that - and Microsoft would not be able to tell, no matter how often it phones home.
In most of the world, there *are* no Lexus/Acura/Infiniti cars. Those badges are an exclusively American thing; in the rest of the world, those better-equipped models are sold as Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans.
So yes, in the USA, a Lexus is generally better spec'ed - but that is just because they peel the Toyota badges off the nice ones when they arrive in the States and slap on Lexus ones. It isn't because of any sort of different engineering - all of the base components are identical.
All stations share their EAS infrastructure. The largest stations get their data direct; smaller stations get it from larger ones. All stations need to have at least two different data sources set up. It is actually a reasonably well set up topology, and it is tested on a very regular basis.
The FCC also imposes strict fines on anyone who fails a test; the base fine for a violation is $8,000 and is scaled up for repeat or blatant violations.
How the FCC handles fines in this case will be interesting. The EAS system is designed for speed and reliability, not for security; there is message validation built in to prevent unintentional activation, but a correctly-formatted bogus message inserted into the system will propogate as designed.
I am not exactly sure what insider trading is, but since he not only knows the inner workings of Google but controls them, how is this not insider trading?
It *IS* insider trading. Any CEO selling their own stock is insider trading. That is why the SEC requires documentation and a public disclosure of any potential transaction before the sale happens, which is what the linked document is. The SEC cannot prohibit such sales, but they do put them under extremely tight restrictions - such as preventing such sales near the end of a quarter, when financial results are known internally but not yet released.
It is important to note that this does not mean that Eric *is* going to sell 42% of his stake, it means that he is now *allowed* to sell *up to* 42% of the stock. Many such filings end up with a smaller amount sold.
Revoke the keys and issue new ones. Contact all your former clients and try to convince them that you aren't total morons, and that they should continue to be your customers. Give the new kews to the handful that are stupid enough to stay.
In Quebec, however, it would be *illegal* to use English-only software in the workplace. All software must be available in French. This applies not only to any sort of government job, but to all companies within Quebec.
True. This seems the exact polar opposite of Ubuntu now - they provide software, you provide hardware.
Everyone has several old phones kicking around - if not they're dirt cheap used. A version of Ubuntu that would install on existing hardware would be popular - and build Canonical's business. Then, *if* that was successful, then they could look at producing their own hardware.
But - if they are switching to producing their own hardware - where is the Canonical/Ubuntu laptop?
Xilinx, Altera, and others have made reprogrammable chips for years. This new technology could potentially provide a different/better/cheaper/faster way of making a FPGA, but it isn't anything brand new, just a different way of doing the same thing.

So, who do we consult for a second opinion? HP? Oracle?

What they're really after is people who will work 60+ hour weeks for low pay. Oh, and if you have some computer skills too, that's good.

coconut juice is orgasmic.
Coconut juice might look orgasmic, but in reality it comes from coconuts.
Even in current Mountain Dew, HFCS is #2, and orange juice is #3.
So if Mountain Dew is already highly sugared and caffeinated orange juice, how is the new product any different?
Aaron Swartz certainly "sidestepped government bureaucracy with a variety of technological tools". Look what it got him.
But what I was taught in theology was the numbers, like many numbers in the Bible, were symbolic
So, the numbers are symbolic, but the rest of the text is the direct word of God and must be interpreted exactly as written?
What the heck are they thinking?
Maybe they meant to drop support for Red Hat Linux 6, not Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6?
- Red Hat Linux 6.0 (Hedwig), April 26, 1999 (Linux 2.2.5-15)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Santiago), November 10, 2010 (Linux 2.6.32-71)
Yes, their naming scheme could use some work.....
Because it's a server, but I need to google the web for help or a man page occasionally.
IT experts don't know all the answers, they just know where to find them.
It's not slashdot.co.us it is? The .com TLD is international.
Over 50% of the geeks in the world are not in the USA, so a "news for geeks" web site pretty much needs to be international.
Shouldn't your question be "should it be a federal holiday in the USA"? It is already in China.

Except of course, for the web-based trainings that employees have to take that rely on Flash.
Web-based training is a virus. It both decreases productivity and makes users unhappy.
Can they not use lower power wifi so that their signal does not extend that far beyond the school?
It's a great pity you can't network computers together with copper wire, isn't it?

I thought 'bit11' is the same as '11b', or 3.

Yet another way that workers in cubicles are just like ants.

Most tech companies claim ownership of anything created by employees, whether created at work or on their own time.
But, the students are not employees, and signed no waiver when they enrolled. Claiming ownership of the student's creations is rediculous.
They mean the transistors are programmable.

4. Pissed. That Oracle waited and collected bug fixes, not releasing any until they'd collected 50 in total, so they'd look like heroes.
The President got Chu'd out.
