I always wonder when one of you idiots is going to pounce on some pro-Linux post and accuse the poster of being a shill so everyone can see how perceptively cynical you are. I expect I'll be waiting a while.
How does VMWare fare in price-performance? Rhetorical question - it fares poorly. Therefore it's certainly not every possible way.
There are deployments that absolutely require some of VMWare's high end features. I wonder, however, how many people are paying the exorbitant amount of money required for VMWare when Hyper-V would be perfectly adequate simply because people like you, who don't know any better and have an anti-MS bias, tell them only VMWare will work.
Yeah, you're right. Microsoft doesn't understand the enterprise, and Hyper-V isn't used in any enterprise environments... Microsoft must survive on their charm I guess since apparently they have no clue about enterprise needs.
Complete bull. All you need is SSH? Why is it that I get the feeling most Slashdotters work in little UNIX environments and think they're cool managing 100 linux boxes all by themselves?
There's a reason VCenter exists, there's a reason SCVMM exists. There's a reason there's a whole god damn industry around VM management, in fact.
Wow, bass ackwards much. You're contending VMWare is free? You do know we're not talking about some piddly little 10 server shop here, right? In the corporate world, "free" isn't an option. Even if we used Xen we'd get is supported and it would cost out the ass.
Hyper-V is one of the cheaper enterprise suitable VM options out there. VMWare is the most expensive, it's not even close.
It's behind VMWare, but it's a different domain. You get Hyper-V "free" with Win2k8. It's very useful in moderate VM deployments, and even in some large scale scenarios. But yeah, VMWare has a much broader solution to higher end needs.
Xen/KVM/etc...? Umm, no. Those are small time. In a crowd of Unix people in little piddly environments running shit on 20 servers you may find people using some of these, but large scale uses are few and far between.
Yeah, features and performance. Let's talk price, shall we? Let's talk supportability. Let's talk integration. Hyper-V is awesome for the cases where Hyper-V suits your needs (yeah, nice tautology I know).
Bullshit. Skype is a late-comer to echo cancellation, there are tons of implementations available. What next, did fucking Apple invent the touch interface in this alternate universe you inhabit?
Market domination is only related to "monopoly" in the minds of modern day Johnny Trustbusters. A real monopoly is where someone controls access to a limited resource, not "more people like the iPod even though there are 50 tablet alternatives available, therefor Apple has a monopoly!"
Second - Echo cancellation patents? You mean the ones that are aplenty? You don't seriously think Skype has jack shit in terms of patent power over echo cancellation, do you?
No, most of them will initially tell themselves that. Many of those will indeed continue to believe it was planted by the US. But many will slowly begin to have subconscious doubts they will try to dismiss but those doubts will eat away at them.
Planted or not, if this slightly disenchants 5% of his radical followers and makes them wonder at how many of their ilk are hypocrites, it might have some small impact on their actions and efficacy. So I'd say it's worth the try as it costs nothing.
Well, to be fair ARM is also dog shit slow. That kind of hurt it.. It's got a great power usage envelope, but it's slow. And this idea that the world wants 10 different CPU architectures for mainstream computing is laughable tripe.
We'll see if the same assholes are whining in 5 years when ARM is the only architecture used for anything mobile. Somehow I doubt we'll here this claptrap nonsense about a "monoculture", these assholes tend to love ARM.
"Illegal discounts"? What in the world are you on about? Are you seriously getting on Slashdot and whining about volume pricing agreements? Jesus Christ, that's stupid even for the Interwebs.
God damn, the just insane _shit_ you people come up with and then go on the Internet to proudly post to the world is just amazing to me.
I find it ironic you're questioning his comment based on the ridiculous assumption that what "some guy on the internet" says about Microsoft's supposed strong-arming (illegal, no less!) is true.
Well, there are extremes of this that are bad at both ends. I can sit there and play "gotcha!" with just about anybody if I think up enough difficult and obscure questions, and a lot of petty technical interviewers seem to get off on this.
So I think some technical questions are good, but if someone can describe a complex system they developed I'm not going to sit there and ask them obscure questions about some technical problem I had last week and that I feel all cool about because I'm such a super genius I found the solution in a few hours and if you can't answer in 2 minutes pffft.. you must be an inept poser.
I agree with your tautology that inventing them is more inventive;)
But what's actually meaningful is deriving benefits from something. You can go off and invent all kinds of crazy shit in a lab, but if nobody ever does it it's meaningless.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, you must not be quite clear on the fact that the Registry has ACLs too.
Yeah, because it would be soooo much better if the spyware had to, instead, write some text to an obscure-ass config file somewhere.

I shall call it the VMWare tax.
Yeah, you're right. Microsoft doesn't understand the enterprise, and Hyper-V isn't used in any enterprise environments... Microsoft must survive on their charm I guess since apparently they have no clue about enterprise needs.
Just because you're inept doesn't mean Hyper-V is a steaming pile of crap. May I recommend some remedial computing courses for you?
Complete bull. All you need is SSH? Why is it that I get the feeling most Slashdotters work in little UNIX environments and think they're cool managing 100 linux boxes all by themselves?

It's backwards world today. VMWare is inexpensive, and Hyper-V is "wads of cash". Ahh, backwards day.

Hyper-V is one of the cheaper enterprise suitable VM options out there. VMWare is the most expensive, it's not even close.
VMWare dominates, the rest is nonsense. You just have a very limited view of the world.
It's behind VMWare, but it's a different domain. You get Hyper-V "free" with Win2k8. It's very useful in moderate VM deployments, and even in some large scale scenarios. But yeah, VMWare has a much broader solution to higher end needs.

It's not selection bias, I'm not sure you know what that means. If they're the top image search terms, they're the top image search.
Put another way, yes Captain Obvious, citing a statistic about search terms self selects for people who use the Internet. Wow!

Is anybody going to explain to you that you're free to use another product, considering there are hundreds of products similar to Skype available?
Skype monopoly? Holy fuck, that's stupid. Ever heard of SIP? You do know that Skype doesn't have a monopoly on anything other than Skype, right?

Wonder how this compares in performance to AES-NI, because it sure as hell sounds a lot more complex and fragile.
I agree with your tautology that inventing them is more inventive ;)

These aren't (common) FinFETs. They're trigate, and a little different than conventionally defined FinFET. See here.
