>>> Of all the major linux distro's only OpenSuSE still ships with Xen, redhat, centos, fedora, debian and ubuntu are all kvm only and have been for quite some time.
Redhat isn't KVM only. In fact, after I do a kernel update I often have to manually set it back to booting the non-XEN kernel because it switches to it by default.
I've been thinking for a while now that our world can no longer afford the vast and growing number of celebrities that compete for our attention and our economic output. If a cap were put on the number of celebrities, at say 15% of the number that now exist, and new ones could only be created when an existing one had died and been forgotten, then the total impact to the environment and the economy would be vastly reduced. The number of pages in the tabloids would drop by a factor of five at least, saving countless trees. The number of jet trips to film festivals and book signings would be likewise drastically chopped.
That explains why every week on Gunsmoke for 20 or so years I was sure I heard a shot BEFORE Dillon completed his draw and fired in the opening sequence, and yet the other guy went down every time!
I don't think your incident relates to the claims which prompted the recall. The claims were that the cars would jump into gear by themselves and go to full throttle while stopped, or making a low speed maneuver, like parking.
Driver error was the only explanation that really fit the facts.
I remember it differently. There was nothing wrong with the cars at all, just terrible drivers. The exact same cars had no problems in Europe, only in the U.S.
If fact, my recollection of this Audi incident and how it turned out the cars were not to blame at all makes me wonder if Toyota isn't getting the same kind of unearned image problem today.
VirtualBox snapshots seem to work by redirecting new information to the snapshot file, leaving the original disk image file in the state it was in before the snapshot as taken. I found this out when I copied a.VDI file to a different host and created a machine for it. It worked fine, but had none of the updates I had done since the first snapshot was taken.
This probably explains why you can't jump to a random snapshot in a series and still retain later ones. Re-using an earlier one and modifying its disk image would invalidate all later snapshots because they are layered over the original disk image and over each other.
>>> When I was in elementary school oh so long ago, one teacher found a way to stop the bullies from doing disruptive behavior.
>>>They punished the whole class and let the bully go free. It was done in class, and very publicly, so that EVERYBODY was suffering from the act of one person. Peer pressure from everybody works wonders.
I've seen that kind of thinking in action. The result was that everyone totally lost any faith in the administration and the lesson they learned was that the only path to success was being an outlaw.
I was very fortunate to go to a school (40 years ago) where disruption was not allowed. The disruptive 'students' were suspended. If they didn't shape up, they were permanently removed. The school administrators there believed that the taxpayers had built the school and were paying their salaries so that students could learn, and any students who were not there to learn had no place in the school.
>>> Contrary to the claims of OSS proponents, the code isn't really more trustworthy if it's open, because not all of us are programmers. If we were (hell, even if most of us were), that'd be true. As things are, though, closed source is only slightly less trustworthy than open source.
I disagree. At this point there is controversy. It will be explained by the vendor and people will have to either accept the explanation or not.
If it were open source, the facts of how the code behaves could be determined by third parties and publicized. We wouldn't have to take anyone's word for it.
According to the article California will not allow homeowners to sell more power back into the grid than they are buying. He doesn't say why.
I don't understand the reasoning for such a restriction, since the possibility of selling more than you buy would encourage wider adoption.
I understand (from a bartender, so it must be true) that hangovers are caused by alcohol's tendency to dehydrate tissues, including the brain. I drink lots of water between alcoholic drinks to combat this and it seems to work.

You are correct sir!
Excellent point!
>>> very few customers use sata for anything 'real'
You mean the Sun 7310 we just bought isn't a real enterprise storage array?
...and those illegals cost much more in services and crime related costs than they pay back (if they pay anything back).
People who demand that we allow unrestricted access by illegals are probably the root cause of all our economic problems.
>>> Think education is too expensive? Try ignorance and you'll find out what "expensive" means.
Government run education is too expensive and too ineffective.
Except that was a humorous Coke Zero ad campaign about how utterly stupid it would be if Coke sued itself. Wells Fargo is actually doing it.
.. and you'll need to wear your welding goggles when you fly an airplane.
If I own a solar panel on earth I can decide what to do with the power. It it's in space I can have little or no say.

I saw something like that being sold at the Phoenix Gun show saturday in jars.
Is there a correlation with fewer boys raised by single mothers in these low crime states compared to higher crime states?
Never heard of Moab? Among other things it is a mecca for four wheel drive adventure travel.
