There's really no point in having a mashup of hardware collecting dust in the basement anymore. Linux KVM (kernel based virtualization) is free and quite stable. Other options abound by Vmware and Oracle too if you like to click EULAs.
Not quite sure why anyone would want to go the hardware route anymore unless they are developing for specific architectures that are not supported by the hypervisor.
Let's not forget; Ballmer isn't exactly fond of Google*. I'm not surprised he's got a mouthful of trash to talk.
"At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office," Lucovosky recounted, adding that Ballmer then launched into a tirade about Google CEO Eric Schmidt. "I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Google." Schmidt previously worked for Sun Microsystems and was the CEO of Novell.
On the scale of time, development of planet (into something habitable) is an extremely long process compared to the observer's lifetime. We get very little more than a miniscule timeslice of what things were for a a very brief moment. Couple that with the fact that we not even getting a current, realtime view of said planet I wonder how useful any of the data is going to be.
Seems like the fragments would have been close enough to be affected by Earth's gravity possibly pulling them in closer if they made a return trip. I wonder where they are now.
LibreOffice was created as a fork when Oracle when all corporate asshat with OpenOffice. There's no point in dumping resources into two open source office products anyway. I don't see the problem here.
There are two issues here (cracked corporate DNS box, or hacked login creds) and it seems like #1 should be way higher than 50 organizations.
At any rate, registering a business name under a crap domain has always been going on. It gives spammers something to put in an email that looks legit enough for people to click.
Seems like *knowingly* selling stolen items could turn into a sh^Htstorm of legal charges very easily. Especially if you can prove intent; and it wouldn't be too hard to prove with a $5k pricetag.
What's great about co-op play is the entire game experience changes. You can only play UT so many times before it just gets annoying and monotonous. Throw in one extra person and it turns into humans against bots. It's like a whole new game. Also, if there's an included map editor -- I'll hardly ever put the game down...I still play Ghost Recon Island Thunder using custom maps.
I think monotony drives game sales too so it's not a shocker that we don't find co-op mode included so much anymore. Kudos to Bioware for doing it right.
Perhaps Windows users pay less because they are on a platform which has the highest cost associated with ownership/maintenance. You can do very little with a stock windows install other than run notepad and get on the web. They pay for *everything*.
Macintosh has a subset of FOSS which works with it (libraries not always compatible) so there are add-on software costs incurred (iTunes downloads).
Linux users are more comfortable giving a little more because they spend next to nothing on out-of-pocket software costs. Anything you need is usually readily available via the package manager (Libre Office, Firefox, Tbird, Sunbird, etc, etc).
Been there, done that. The company you're at right now would certainly not think twice about laying you off if they hit financial difficulty. Business is business and you are in a business agreement with current said company. If they have not put the effort or money into a parallel knowledge store for their flagship product, that is really irresponsible planning on their part. Where would their product be if you met your demise on that 45min commute one morning?
I would go for the new job. Ask future employer if a 3-week or 4-week notice is appropriate so you can get everyone up-to-speed at old job. Offer to be telephone/weekend support as needed for old company at pre-established rate.
Your "friends" will be supportive and understand if they really are friends.

Any suggestions? I can't think of any other way to make the rating system more accurate than drawing from a collective of geeks. Besides, moderation "floats" so you don't have the same people all the time modding things to their liking. The task gets spread around a lot of different personalities.
> This especially comes up within certain subjects
If your favorite topics gets frequently blasted off the moderation scale maybe that's a sign that your topic isn't what you think it is.
WTF? People should have a right to a decent, respectful funeral that's free from reality-tv-type BS. I don't particularly care for Apple (or Michael Jackson for that matter) but can't these nutcases find some other way to gain media attention for their "message"?
Celebrities have relatives too and I doubt being famous makes the grieving process any less painful. Dig deep and find some humanity or at the very least go buy a billboard if you have something to say.
The OLPC cost $400 because you were buying two devices. the second device was your donation through the Give One Get One program. It was the only way you could buy them.
The reason the devices cost $200 each was because the OLPC suffered a bit of feature creep and bad pricing projections on components.
The idea was that volume sales would bring pricing down more closely to the $100 level. I will mention that both Microsoft and Intel tried their best to derail the project*
IIRC, The North and South poles create a magnetosphere (shield) around the globe which protects us from cosmic rays (and to a large extent, gamma rays created through solar flare activity).
The magnetosphere attracts electrons from the cosmic rays which enter the earth's atmosphere at the poles. It is at the poles where the electrons react with molecules in the atmosphere to produce the Northern Lights.
Question is: Is it possible for Pole Shift activity to affect the location of the Ozone hole? If so, that would seem to suggest that the Ozone hole is going to get dragged around relative to Pole Shift.
The applications the malware targets are unsurprisingly the same-ol-same-ol. Windows, Java, IE, Adobe.
Perhaps the real questions should be: - Why is patching so ineffective? - Why is patch frequency not decreasing over time (these are *very* mature applications) ?
this is a catch-all argument for just about any product with a high potential for nefarious purposes or something which is a complete POS. a cluster computer for internet browsing? are you friggin serious?
It's for military combat only. We'd never use it on our own people*
* unless those people are assembled in mass numbers representing a potential for threatening movement or when regarded by law enforcement as a public safety concern or causing a public disturbance.
Did I not get the memo? Are they vaporizing due to the magnetic storm or something? We still have a ton of desktop boxes around here (about 1,500 total) which I don't think will be going anywhere soon. Also several servers on-site which are *not* laptops (or macbooks for that matter). I think newegg is safe. Save the panic for the solar flare activity.

With the right chili, you could power New York City for a night.

Sure is a lot cheaper than a rack of Nauri.

They didn't make android and sure as hell didn't make the Linux OS it runs it. Why is it that microsoft is able to extort money like this?
