You need to differentiate between virtualization and multi-tenancy.
Virtualizing databases works fine. You can slice a two socket system in half and bind a VM to each socket and you have doubled the tenancy without introducing multi-tenancy (sort of). If you give them separate disks you can maintain some isolation there as well. There is a nice win there because you are eliminating a lot of cross socket memory traffic. Scale up is pretty poor with many products.
For a scale out database you can use one socket to host the DB and the other socket to host multiple lesser VMs. This will also let you get the node count of the DB up which is a good thing in many cases because it means less data per node.
I think the multi-tenancy stuff where resources are shared is pure crap.
The implementation is different from the breakpoints I have ever seen used in a programming language or debugger.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,249,907 to Carter et al. (the "Carter reference") is directed to a system for debugging a computer program in which a user specifies breakpoint types prior to compiling the computer program. A breakpoint type may be, for example, a statement that references a particular variable, a middleware statement, a file input/output statement, or a verb statement. During compilation, the compiler inserts a hook function call in the object code at each instance of a statement corresponding to a specified breakpoint type. When the program processes a hook function call, execution of the program stops and control is transferred to the debugger. The Carter reference discloses that the computer program being tested makes a call (and may pass parameters) to the debugger. In other words, the Carter computer program is "aware" that it is being debugged. Because some bugs occur only under specific execution conditions, arising especially in time dependent or multi-threaded applications, disruption of program execution by the Carter debugger may mask a bug that would occur only during "normal" execution. Further, the Carter reference does not teach or suggest a solution to the problem of processing a breakpoint interrupt when the debugger is not running and is, therefore, unable to handle the interrupt. In addition, each compiler that uses the Carter method must be modified to insert hook function calls in the object code.
I was expecting it to be a major boon for gun control, but it does not seem to be playing out that way. Many people involved actually wish they could have put a stop to it and the media is playing both sides this time around. I have hardly hear word one about games on this one.
It's the company's customers not his. Make sure he puts his opinion down in writing where it will be visible to any later investigation and that he states his belief strongly and clearly. If they don't want to do it there is nothing productive he can do if he wishes to keep his job.
I don't know what they are thinking with the two different packages (hard drive/no hard drive) and now HD DVD. Why do they expect developers to up and support hardware most customers won't have? Why will customers want to spend more money on hardware developers won't support? Hopefully they will bring it in at a good price point compared to 1st gen HD-DVD players.
The 10th circuit does not a supreme court decision make. Unfortunately for both of us, until they rule collective vs. individual this is mostly academic. I still say it's judicial activism and not what the founders meant nor intended for even today's society.

I'd definitely like to continue this further but I am off for the weekend. TGIF!
Do you misquote US vs. Miller? Do you have something to hide? Could it be that the real quote goes something like
"In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a "shotgun having a barrel of less that eighteen inches in length" at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument."
Providing inaccurate rulings is no way to prove your point. Miller failed to prove that the specific instrument (A short barreled shotgun) had some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia. Meaning that all instruments that have a reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia are protected under the 2nd amendment as an individual (Miller) right. Starting now I would like full auto and grenades:-)
"Permanent employees"?
Partner, your generalizing. Look around, this is not the case everywhere.
"Temporary employees"?
This doesn't even need rebuttal but I'll entertain it. The prosecution and defense both have a chance to vet jurors.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
It is stating it is necessary. What law school did you go to?
I don't understand how capital punishment relates to trusting those who mete out punishment in this instance. Juries/judges mete out capital punishment not the.gov.
My understanding is that it doesn't actually register the chords you are playing on said air guitar. It just makes up/matches a rock sequence to the type of motion that you are doing. You are not in control of the instrument as if you were holding a real guitar. Their program just tries to match the beat and pitch and maybe a few other things like finger tapping etc.
I want to live and work in rural New Hampshire. I am not talking about the southern part that is infested by massholes. What is the best way to go about this?
Where are the first person shooters and Adventure/RPG games? Or better yet something completely diffrent. Are there going to be any launch titles like that?
Browsers could spend alot less effort kludging together DHTML and javascript and ride for free off of the JVM. I understand the JVM is a separate download, but browsers can include it as part of their install. I don't see why were a celebrating the creation of such a kludge with random inconsistencies across browsers and platforms that are far worse then what you find when targeting the JVM.
Is there a guide to Movie studios and media producers that are not members of MPAA/RIAA? I think it's time to start voting with my dollar, but I am not sure if there are any movies or music I can still buy without shooting myself in the foot.
Most of the bloat I see results from kludging together work from multiple sources that are not communicating well. Can't they solve this by switching to a faster parser? Or is the format itself flawed? So many questions, this doesn't bode well.
Speaking of bloat, why do linux distros come on 5 CDs with multiple versions of every possible thing. Have options is nice, but the fragmentation is getting out of head.

Oops... I read the wrong part, mod my post down. It's not the patent.

After all, how long can we maintain the 1st with out it?

Probably when you get off your but and make it.

Nuff said k thx bye
That is some scary stuff! Bring on the 1984 references.
Another Rare entry. Now that does sound attractive. Will it be exclusive to the Xbox?

Damn straight. Sometimes you have to wonder where Zonk has been the past twenty years...

Oh yeah...
What is a Lisp machine? I see tons of posts, but no explanations of what they are! Help!
