Maybe you should realize that you can't expect your eight year old laptop to do everything you want it to still. If you're too cheap to buy a newer laptop (and yet complain it won't run the newest stuff), I don't think MS really had any chance for your business at all... and nor would they care.
That a very heavily used web/database/mail/etc server shouldn't be virtualized?
Yes, very good. Also, servers that are usually ideal, but have a tendancy to spike shouldn't be virtualized either. The bottom line is, you want your server to be responsive. Virtualization hurts responsiveness.
That cities shouldn't have mass transit because riding a bus doesn't fit every single need.
Don't bring pointless, irrelevent analogies into the discussion please.
It's kind of a duh statement, but you've got to admit that there is significant excess capacity in datacenters, and that excess capacity while good for peak utilization only wastes money in paid for excess capacity or in resources required (power, cooling, etc).
I doubt businesses buy a super fast new machine for something that will be lightly used. Pretty much all data centers I've been in have had significate load on the servers.
You've still got to be an admin, you still don't run physical hardware hosting virtual machines at 100%, you still make intelligent decisions about putting what onto where; but probably 75% of servers in most datacenters are reasonable candidates for virtualization because their task doesn't care about a difference between 1 millisecond and 1.25 millisecond response.
I think your 75% number is offbase and pulled out of your ass, as is the 1 ms vs 1.25 ms response rate. Keep in mind, that.25 ms is time that could be used to serve another request as well. And its hardly.25 ms difference either, in all the virtual OSes I've used. Its orders of magintudes slower.
What is ignorant about the fact that hetros have many unplanned children and homos don't?
I was refering to my previous post, which was modded offtopic.
This obviously leads to the statistic of homos being better parents.
No, not necessarly. Hetros can (and do) adopt too you know. FWIW, the statictics I was refering to was only looking at adoptive parents with no children of their own.
The reason that web servers and database servers can be so fast is the fact that they aren't always 100% utilized. When they get even close to that point is when they start to melt down.
Nevermind the fact that virtual OSs ALWAYS run slower than an OS running natively on the hardware.
Stupid mods; can't reply to something blatatly ignorant.
At any rate, the logical conclusion of your line of thought is that any two people that wish to have kids, naturally or adopt, must meet certain guidelines. Personally I'm all in favor of that; people should be sterlized at birth, until they prove that they can take care of a child.
Thank god, hopefully americans won't get passports that signal they are canadian though. They are the most boastful people on the planet about their country, yet when they travel abroad they lie and say they're from another.
Maybe that's because other countries have a blind hatred for someone they don't know. Its amazing that the world complains about America and then has the nerve to paint almost 300 million people the exact same way.
Ever stop and think that maybe the reasons Americans don't go to the ruins is because they're afraid of being attacked by Mexicans (after all, you confirm the hatred is there).
As to why eat at the hard rock; perhaps Mexican food isn't to someones liking, and they know EXACTLY what they're getting from a Hard rock.
Ha ha! OK, I admit it, most of my teachings of the schools in America comes from Hollywood films and news reports. Doesn't every American school student carry a knife to school?
Heh.. stupid media. Listen to them, you'll believe that. The actual truth if you look at statistics is that there are VERY few instances of shootings, and school crime has been dropping for the past 10 or 20 years. However, with almost 300 million people, there's always going to be something somewhere in the country. With the news how it is, these stories go national in no time and every local news adds 'could it happen in OUR schools???' Bleh.
Is her school representative of all schools in the US? No. Are there really bad schools? Without a doubt. All I ask, is don't lump all American schools into one category. It is a big, diverse country.
Indeed, I would ask those who haven't been to the US to remember that we have states as big as countries in other parts of the world. I believe the economy of California is larger that that of France.
What are you talking about? We had some pretty big problems in our school with violence (even a few shootings) and we certainly got rid of the problem. They put a policy in place where if you were a constant problem, they shipped you off to another school.
No matter how boring they are, they usually (except for a few cases where they really are useless) have something important to say and worth listening to.
You may think that, but the 10 year old in math class doesn't.
Social skills: pretend that it's ok that Timmy has 2 daddies.
Oddly though, studies show homos make much better parents than straight couples.
Respect for others: If Ahmal's father chooses to blow up a building full of innocent children, we have to respect that as his own personal life choice.
Because no white person every molested, murdered, or ate the remains of children.
Its important to learn social interactions, which you DO get in current school systems.
The problem is that you also learn negative solical interactions; i.e. getting picked on, bullied, etc. So it is a crap shoot as far as helping kids be social. I learned to be not very social and it was years before I became more outgoing after my experiences in school.
What the author said was copies. If it was the copies you made from copies made under the authorization of the copyright holder (regardless of whether they're the original master copies or the copies sold at the record store), then you likely couldn't sell them. If they were authorized copies (see above) then you can.
And for your (the average person) personal music collection, you won't have such permissions. So your point about having permission is moot.
All the author would've had to do was to say 'the copies you made' and I'd find that part of the article to be largely correct.
I think the part about copying your personal music collection is larger correct, because the author correctly assumes that most people reading the story have RIAA music, and none of them have permissions to copy. Why throw in that they could if the copyright holder gave them permission, when its clear she's talking about a situtation where the copyright holder certainly hasn't given permission?
Sounds like you're being purposefully obtuse. It was pretty clear that the author meant the copies of your own copies, not the originals, since only the copyright owner would have that.

If Aero isn't required in the business line of Vista, why would that slow the adoption of Vista by businesses?

Another big impediment to adoption by business is the Aero interface requirement of a 128MB video card.
Wrong. Aero isn't a requiment in the Business lines of Vista. Would it really hurt to do some basic research before you post?

How is that relevent? I'd say having a child 'accidently' is a strong indicator that you won't be a good parent.

This is true; I was mearly commenting that yes, you still need a password.
Huh? He was talking about American CITIZENS, not soldiers.

Until our government demands that Canadians entering the US have RFID passports as well.
Not true. Any intelligent public / private key authentication will keep the private key under a password, so that if its stolen, it can't be used.
A saavy hosting company can virtualize multiple machines into one physical box.
Ya, because that will give great peformance. A bunch of virtual machines fighting for CPU time, and more importantly, HD access.

Um, you realize that everyone here probably attended a brick and mortar school. So how exactly did that help anyone's social skills here?
No matter how boring they are, they usually (except for a few cases where they really are useless) have something important to say and worth listening to.

It seems to me that Ctrl-Z fulfils this need rather well for me.
