If you went in to jiffy lube and asked how to turn a *car* on,..
it's called "computer literacy" and I cannot believe how little respect (or humility) people have for it. Meanwhile the billion dollar botnets rumble on, slackers make shit up that only the competent understand, and the overqualified fail for not completing the impossible.
If you went in to jiffy lube and asked how to turn a computer on, you would be laughed at. Because A: the car's not broken and B: It's not their fucking job. Car metaphors don't work until we allow un-licensed drivers on the road.
I would think that both Nintendo and Sony making their games more easily ported to Linux and/or Mac would be a little more like tit for tat than a complete impossibility. BTW Linux runs on a shit-ton of appliances.
whatever, I live below my means, and there's a good chance my means are less than yours. I still wonder everyday at the inverse relationship between competence and "earnings". For example: Slashdot, by re-publishing this crap from valleywag they gone beyond proving they are totally incapable of even, just, simply, finding good shit to link to, and yet we come in droves to argue about how nobody understands the crap of the day.
Damn that's a good read.:) reminds me of hinckley, you know the guy that shot reagan and got bush senior in the white house, funny how everyone says they're a "Reagan" republican nowadays.
.. thought it was kinda odd too, but as we speak there is an ass gearing up for the next latest and greatest M$ upgrade, regardless of any problems or expenses they went through last year.
I'm sorry you lost your job. Luckily for you, it sounds like your wife is a reasonable human being, be happy that you are wealthier in that respect than many, many, people.
That said. Jesus H. Christ! I AM WRONG, totally, absolutely fucking wrong. It doesn't matter that this phone bonus seems to have nothing to do with the economy at ALL. That Valleywag is a tabloid that publishes outright LIES! That bonuses did NOT go from $30k to a $150 phone. So, yeah, whatever I'm done.
Ok, obviously I'm not getting something. Google did not cancel their year end bonuses, the christmas bonuses are basically on par with what they've received in the past, which is a hell of a lot better than what I got. The article is an inflammatory piece of shit. The "Googler" that leaked, is a spoiled bitch, I agree with that. So to the Corporate/Google Fanboys - have I shlucked enough Google Cock in this post to not be moderated in to the dirt? Or do I need to go on about how fucking stellarly awesome Google is? The guy I was responding to didn't know what dogfood meant and interpreted it in an utterly retarded way - he confused me. So what, that makes me an overrated troll for misunderstanding someone that doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about? And yes, it is evil, you should try buying your wife a $20k diamond ring this year and see how she reacts when you give her a fruit basket next year (try it, I fucking DARE you). Put your money where your mouth is.
I understood what dog-food meant. For me it was much easier to assume (which is what we're all doing here right?), that the AC was talking about Google being evil just like Microsoft, which if a bonus were to go from $30k to a $400 phone, yes that's evil (seems more likely the article is a POS). And yes, I've known people that worked at a car dealership, if their car was not the model they were selling they did NOT get employee parking. FYI- Oracle owns Innodb, the engine beneath MySQL.
If you really believe it's that common for people to blame microsoft for using their own software in house, well then, maybe your slash id is too low. I don't think anyone thought Google was at fault here for giving their own products to their employees. I guess, I can see your bent from the headline, but that's not what you said.

Not necessarily, I'm thoroughly confused as to why the error is showing up in the host system at all. Doesn't the error belong to the hosted system's bios, if there is nothing to boot from? Receiving errors that relate to the way the virtualization is implemented is *NOT* within the expertise of most VM users. Normally, when presented with an error you have two options. Research the error or try again, either option is valid, but in this case one leads down the rabbit hole, and the other provides a hackish (yes, it's a hack to disable the virtualized hardware) yet easily discoverable solution.
I just built ALFS (automated linux from scratch), the base install doesn't have a dhcp client so getting the network going was a little tough. Currently, it's connecting (in vmware) through a bridged connection with the host's IP address. This means that when I connect the host loses network connectivity. I haven't been able to get the NAT connection working without a dhcp client yet. I have XP hosted with file-sharing enabled, IIRC the shared folder is not available through a NAT connection (by default anyways). I have not played with the virtual networking options yet.
I was just having this conversation the other day. According to the pdf linked above bandwidth on the outer tracks is 1.7x times that of the bandwidth on the inner tracks (I assume this variation is greater on larger drives). Definitely worth looking into, but an optimized benchmark is ridiculous if you are testing for desktop use. Better to test a huge amount of default installs.
Linux is a lot easier to use than Unix. My only experience has been with Solaris, but my experience is that the Gnu tool set which sits on top of Linux is about 10 years ahead of the traditional proprietary tool sets. Also worth noting is that the proprietary tool sets are all a little different from one another.

Consulting, visit one: "Have you considered using rentacoder.com? The prices are quite good."
he assumes his clients will be more accountable for their fallacies than his current employer.

I don't get it, wouldn't he have fucked jodie foster and wondered why reagan wasn't dead?
Maybe it would have loaded quicker?

He's probably fat, ugly, and smelly so I doubt she'd talk to him.

so, if you were my boss, I wouldn't be allowed to use Linux at home because I work on windows at work? you can kiss my ass buddy.
Are you talking about a saved state or just a straight boot?
