Xen and KVM are innovators in virtualization, Virtualization on the mainframe from 10 or 15 years ago is far better than anything Xen or KVM have to offer. Xen developers even get some support and coaching from the guys who wrote OS 360 and OS 390. There was a/. article about it a few months ago.
GP was right. FOSS is strong in mature markets. Virtualization is just another example for that.
The trick is that you can do a clean install using the Vista upgrade disk, then do an upgrade install over the clean install. The upgrade install will recognize the clean install as a legitimate qualifying version to which the upgrade can be applied. You closed source guys are funny.
The tyranny of Joe Average and all his church learrnin' would be no improvement for our troubled nation.
I don't think you can solve this problem by choosing another voting method. Stupid people tend to elect stupid politicians in an indirect democracy or vote for stupid laws in a direct democracy. Garbage in, garbage out.
No. Mixed strategies are actually very common in game theory and are often the min-max (i e. "best") strategy. Classic example is rock, paper, scissors, where the min-max strategy is to randomly choose between rock, paper, and scissor, selecting each 1/3 of the time.
And they are an ergonomic nightmare. Principle of least astonishment: do not surprise your user. There are good reasons why GUI elements look they same in all applications, or at least they should.
If you're unwilling to follow something as simple as the dress codes, what does that tell me about what to expect when I ask you to do something important that you don't want to do? [...] I hire leaders, not sheep
So, you are looking for a leader who does everything exactly as you tell him even if you think that it is not important? Good luck with that.
Basically, if you look at the way they're running things, and the way they're headed, all the grunt work will be done offshore, including programming, but the IP will be owned here in the US.
This will only work if all the other countries are going to respect the US "IP" laws. India, China and large parts of the rest of Asia won't, Europe hopefully won't either.
So... there will be some American companies that "own" "IP" but only in America. How are these going to pay the offshore workers? Last time I checked the US already had a very large foreign trade deficit.
After TheRegister made up Linus' previous quotes,
from the fine link: "The article offers the quote and then continues: 'Actually he didn't - we just made that quote up. But what Torvalds really did say this weekend is only slightly less bizarre.'" I can't see how this affects The Register's credibility.
Do you mean that O(n^x) is a notation for zeroth order approximation to base n "in computational science and cryptography"? I've never before seen it used like this. Do you have any examples?
Copy protection never works. It did not work in the C64 days it doesn't work now and it won't work in the future. If you can watch the movie you can copy it.
When I want a truly secure system, I boot from a liveCD. You can't hose a system that's on read only media
True. You have choosen the most simple and most effective way. You want to defend against some malware changing part of your system. Solution: Do not allow anybody to change anything. All other solutions (allow this programs to change that piece of information but not that datum and allow this user to delete that...) are far more complex and tend to fail.
Note that you do not need a virus scanner to "protect" your LiveCD. In fact you do not need any "protection software" for your LiveCD. You may need it to repair that other system (the system with the far more complex file-permissions-set which tends to break down quite often).
If you want to have a secure system you have to use less software, not more. Virus scanner et al are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Organizing data is not a means in itself. If you know what information (or knowledge) you are looking for beforehand, it is often fairly easy to find the necessary data and organize it to fit your needs. Take Data mininig and OLAP as an example for "statistic data" or first order logic and semantic web technics for "unstructured data" (e.g. http://www.projecthalo.com/).
If on the other hand you do not know what you want from the data... well i'm not sure if technology will ever be able to solve these problems.
Microsoft removed RMI from their JVM (available as a separate download) which is what Sun used against them specifically.
The missing RMI component was not that relevant. MS didn't include JNI and its Java implementation had some other incompatibilities. See http://java.sun.com/lawsuit/111798ruling.html for details.

Improving security by running some programs from some guy on the internet is probably not an very good idea.

If anyone knows about immature software it is SAP.

I really wanted to read TFA article this time but my ad filter blocked it.

MadPenguin has an interview with Josh Berkus, one of the core team members of PostgreSQL.
Do you mean that O(n^x) is a notation for zeroth order approximation to base n "in computational science and cryptography"? I've never before seen it used like this. Do you have any examples?
No. It means that it took 2^80 "computations" and it now takes 2^69 "computations".n ode17.html.
O(2^80) = O(2^69) = O(1). See for example http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/sicp/book/
So, will Bill Gates close all his European operations now, that Europe is clearly Communist?
I live in europe, so i really hope he does.
Nothing to see here.
