    har har, wrong company, I know.

  3. Re:Virtualization on Longhorn Server Will Stress Virtualization · · Score: 0

    There are 3rd party software packages that assist in uninstalling chaotic windows apps. While you shouldnt need to resort to this (install points should be good enough), these utilities can and do work -- even with tree/branch dependencies.

  4. Re:I don't get this... on Longhorn Server Will Stress Virtualization · · Score: 0

    No, Longhorn Server has a new installation class called CORE. With core, the diskspace is only 500MB and memory footprint is way lower -- because GUI is not installed. Funny they still call it Windows when it doesn't have Windows (but does have the NT part).

  5. Re:Proof on Microsoft Getting Paid for Patents in Linux? · · Score: 0

    Windows isn't closed source in a way no one can read it -- universities and governments have had access to the code for a long time. It would be pretty easy to figure out if they do have prior "art" in particular code source files or not.

  6. Industrial Hemp on Obama Announces for President, Boosts Broadband · · Score: 0

    I've heard that industrial hemp would be 2x to 3x more efficient in producing Ethanol than other techniques. Can anyone here verify this?

  7. Re:Is this the same as... on Inside the Windows Vista Kernel · · Score: 0

    I suggest dual booting as many people at least like video/games once in a while. If you have an pre-existing XP system and would like to virtualize it, check out VMware Converter: http://www.vmware.com/whatsnew/converter.html

  8. Re:Ideas borrowed from QNX. But bulkier on Inside the Windows Vista Kernel · · Score: 0

    As all the OSes mature, I'm sure they will all borrow good ideas from each other.

  9. Re: Deja VMS? on Inside the Windows Vista Kernel · · Score: 0

    Sweet, VMS functionality isn't being lost.

  10. Re:Finally... on Inside the Windows Vista Kernel · · Score: 0

    Having used Vista for a few months now, I would say it still hangs from lost I/O connections. While they say it suppose to work better now, it hangs as it always has. Perhaps they will patch this with SP1.

  12. Re:Why no ECC? on First Intel Quad Core Ready Desktop Mobo Spotted · · Score: -1, Troll

    Does VMware emulate ECC memory? It would be nice if it did.

  13. Re:Sponsored by VMWare.. what do you expect? on Hardware Virtualization Slower Than Software? · · Score: 0

    Doesn't AMD SVM do the accelerated shadow page table translation now? I think VMware will be beta testing that real soon.

  14. Javascript security will hurt it on What's Spreading "the AJAX Wildfire"? · · Score: 0

    With new Javascript exploits which detect internal network information, there could be a decreased use of Javascript at companies and enterprise networks. This could hurt AJAX.

    Maybe humans won't fix this mess but instead the machines will.

    Windows 2003 R2 has a large POSIX w/GNU subsystem available.

  20. Re:There are secure OS's on Windows Rootkit Wars Escalate · · Score: 0

    IBM's OSs are only as good as the weakest link. Many social security numbers have been stolen through IBM's OSs because applications written for it are weak. In addition, the best hacks are never/rarely detected -- all it takes is one good hole. [que NSA theme song here]

    HT3 will support specialized coprocessors, yay!

  22. Re:Network Magic? on Things To Download · · Score: 0

    I agree. Add a WINS server. Windows 2000/NT4, it doesn't matter (those can be found cheap or free :-)

  23. Re:sourceforge? on Things To Download · · Score: 0

    The problem with VMware is trusting the source who compiled the image. Rootkits on a [closed]source-code machine is a big no-no.

  24. Re:Let me be the first to ask.... on FreeDOS Not Dead; 1.0 Release Imminent · · Score: 1

    I have lots of old games that stopped working at DOS 3.31 (which I am still looking for). I think DOS 4+ got rid of some old interrupts that old games required.
