Actually, the word here is scary.
If things go wrong with just 36 votes in a town of 80 people, what do you think this means for an entire country voting electronically?
Almost, only I thought about lawyers wardriving on the open wireless accesspoint in the bar. Damn those people, crashing into my right to get drunk and surf for porn with the resident old drunk geezer.
Reminds me of the question if I'd been in or near Amsterdam in the last couple of days when I entered the US for a short vacation. Seeing how I had to get very close to it as the airport is a couple of miles from Amsterdam I thought that was a very silly question. Also because I spend the night before in Haarlem, also a couple of miles from that place. I thought it be best to not say anything about me living in the south, well away from Amsterdam, yet have a coffeeshop withing a 30 second walk. After all, only in Amsterdam do we have drugs.
I can't compare to the powertoys, but Virtual Dimension performs very well. I've been using it for years on Windows 2000 and now XP, and the only real complaint I have that on rare occasions I can't switch desktops, but that could be related to the use of Synergy2 and VMware/Virtual PC at the same time. (one can only use so much keyboard grabbing software constantly at the same time..)
I highly recommend trying this one.
My first thought was AMD will beat that floating operations number with one speciality processor in one of the HT enabled sockets on the mainboard. Who needs so many cores when one (ATI?) co-processor can deliver the same horsepower?
In that case there should also be a chance of stealing weapons from a depot or gunshop, or even from people's homes. Realism also demands that you can get things by stealing them.
I doubt it's going to devaluate the AMD product. I think it's going to start a new trend in computing, being able to choose what kind of horsepower you want in your server/workstation. One cpu, one fpu, or one cpu, three fpu's, three cpu's, one fpu, or even more. Need more floating power? Stick in another streaming processor. Or even another special purpose processor...
And all based and connected through Hypertransport.
Virtual PC can run Linux distros, you just have to try it. I've had Gentoo run and livecd's based on FreeBSD (PC-BSD and DesktopBSD) and OpenBSD (OliveBSD).
And there's also Qemu which is available for *nix and Windows. Together with the kqemu accelerator it runs Windows very fast on *nix and vice-versa. (currently running Windows in Qemu on FreeBSD 6, Ubuntu 6.06 desktop in VMware server on Windows XP and Windows in VMware server on Ubuntu 6.06 desktop)
Although I also have plenty of programs running, I could really use them for all the virtual machines I have running. Having each one run on its own cpu would speed things up considerably.
It's not just the hardware. What if you also outsource the security side of things? Imagine someone from the other side of the globe trying to get a hold of your local cops.

If only... Just tonight one of the guys at work asked me if workstation was free now that we bought two ESX servers. Had to disappoint him.

Lawyer or anal, you're fscked either way. :-P
One word: sheeple.

If only we could nuke those spammers from orbit...
Ohhh... A Windows pc... Nothing to see here. *continues working on his FreeBSD laptop*
There are ads on /.?

O.O That's amazing! I've got the same password on my luggage...

Yes, if everything would be a-Ok when it comes to Windows it would be the story of the century. :-P
Sort of like my first reaction, "The only way to be sure is to run something that is not Windows".
Until someone creates something that can infect the various *nixes that is.

I agree. Geeks here should have known more about this after all the bad car analogies in /.'s history.
And if they dub the commentary over a chick with big boobs? Would that be a satisfactory compromise?
Ah, virtualization. *nods approvingly* But, Who's Jessica Alba?
which has mixed blessings if you enjoy having a drink or two
:-P
Not to mention if you enjoy sleeping.
Actually, Eindhoven, which is very close to Amsterdam for the geographically challenged. ;-)
For me LSL was the first game I bought when I started messing around with pc's. Oh, the fond childhood memories of VGA boobies... *sentimental sigh*
FYI, your comment went up ending at the wrong article. Might want to post it again. :-)
