  1. Re:QEMU on An Overview of Virtualization · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Kernel Virtual Machine - http://kvm.sf.net/ It requires a processor with Intel's Vt or AMD's SVM technology (cpuflags will read vmx for VT or svm for AMD-V). The developers are looking for people to test optimizations that have just gone in. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.d evel/657/focus=662 It uses a slightly modified qemu.

    196mph is the quoted estimated speed from the news conference today.

  3. what?! on Skype VoIP Software & Service Reviewed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Skype works best from a fully connected computer, which runs counter to the whole trend of ever more mobile communication."

    What kind of minimum system requirement is that? Could you list that on the side of a box and get away with it?

  4. well.. on Congress Cuts NASA's Budget On Apollo Anniversary · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I guess NASA will not be using those million dollar wrenches anymore.

    "We own them now," said police Superintendent Robert Dunford.

    In that quote he is refering to the people of Boston.

  6. Re:-1 Flamebait on GNU/Linux Clears Gov't Procurement Hurdles · · Score: 1

    Try unpacking the kernel source to recompile a new kernel with modified acpi / apm options. Under APM there is an option for alternate powerdown method...not sure what it is called off hand but that should work.

  7. Bad comparison... on Apollo 11's 35th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    "You also have to remember that, long before Bill Gates, we had developed a real-time multi-tasking operating system."

    I'm glad they now have proper forums set up. The other system was a complete pain.

    It's the OS all your Windows applications and games won't run on...
    That is going a little overboard. Especially with the current status of wine and the company maintaining a seperate branch of wine bent on gaming.

  11. forshame. on Fedora, SuSE And Mandrake Compared · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Unfortunately, to install any of these versions without wiping out most Windows installations, you'll need to buy a third-party program to partition your hard drive.
    Yeah right. This guy has obviously never tried installing windows on a linux machine. Just see how friendly the windows setup program is towards your boot sector... yeah. Unlike most linux software which will try to preserve and inform the user of the current drives partitions and status so all can be worked out peacefully.
  12. Oh great on Military on Alert for Killer Coke Cans · · Score: 1

    And to think these people are running the country. "Coca-Cola Co. says such concerns are nothing but fizz." Agreed.

    It's not too late to destroy the machines. I'm content with going back to the cave, who's with me!

  15. Re:camera fund on Build Your Own KiteCam · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you should have tried one of those x10 like microcams that transmit video wirelessly? Only $20USD down the drain should it crash and break. It would have been a lighter/cheaper alternative. I believe you can find a cheap one by searching ebay for "cctv wireless".
