It's really not that relevant. Doing a 1-1 comparison of a VM vs the hardware is obviously going to show a performance decrease. But how about a server that runs 5 VMs, 10 VMs, or 20 VMs. What's the degradation there? Do we hold only 43% drop total? Not so bad when you can combine 20 different servers into one solution. A better metric would be to scale the number of VMs to see where the breaking point is, but that is obviously going to depend on what hardware you run it on.
This is pretty basic stuff, I think everyone knows that when you use a VM it won't run as fast as hardware. This is a classic tradeoff of management vs. speed. What is more important? Choose your solution from there. Although I think a good way to setup your servers is to use a hardware server and have a VM box for cutting over in case of failure on the main server. This way you at least have something running and aren't SOL if your server dies.
MoAB was a flop, IMO. They stuffed their numbers by adding bugs in applications that had nothing to do with Apple (like VLC).
While true that the attack vector was on a 3rd party application, the bug allows for arbitrary code execution. This is something that the OS shouldn't allow. So it IS still an issue with OSX. When the flaw is exploited, OSX is more than happy to run injected code, now it seems to me that when this happens on windows everybody points the finger at MS, does the reality distortion field really reach this far?
(being generally well-educated and to a degree able to be more selective than some other industries) want to live in places that they actually like rather than, lets say, North Dakota.
Because we all want to live in a highly populated, polluted part of the country; sign me up!
What's it going to take for mathematicians to get some mainstream coverage? A sex scandal?
I can't help myself:
1)Did you hear about the calculus teacher who integrated with his grad students
2)How about that pair, I hear they got on top of each other to make one (division joke)
3)... I guess those Sine curves were too good to resist.
Sounds like he was a savant, he just had the propensity to be good at mathematics, along with your musical Mozart reference, how about Beethoven (he was a great composer even when deaf)... pretty amazing what humans are capable of.
I think your example is exactly why perl is so useful. For small, specific tasks that you may or may not ever need to repeat. I think for programs that will need maintenance it is a terrible language. Really it is the swiss army knife of languages and I'm glad that I learned it, but I would never write an involved script anymore.
The "System" user is not a new thing. I don't remember when it was introduced but I wouldn't be surprised if it was NT. How else do you think most of the services in windows are run?
Fixing it required a format and reinstall + configuration + drivers + applications = hours and hours of my time.
Just a thought but did you ever think to make an image of the computer once you had a fresh install with all of your software and drivers. The purchase price of ghost and perhaps a drive for imaging would probably have been cheaper in the long run.

not to take away from your point, but I believe it was a FROG, not a dog.
I find it amusing that you ask the practicality of a product that uses a diamond for the power button.
with monochrome night vision, 'blood is the same color as water.'
I find it hard to believe that a physician can't tell the difference between blood and water, even if only using monochrome.
Soldier: Hey, bob's been shot
Physician: No, no. That's clearly water
It's called a videogame console, they already exist.

Opensource my ass...
I believe I speak for everybody when I say no.
Amen!
The second I leave work, I'm done. I'm only an employee when I'm in the building, I work to live, not vice-versa.

So, am I to understand that the Zune has a cheaper price per ounce? Sounds like marketing that Microsoft needs to use.
Before clothing is considered a portal to porn, I mean all you have to do is take it off.

ok that's enough for now.

If you are only using tty, why use the kvm at all?

ummm, one problem, the nano doesn't use a harddrive.... it has flash memory. No moving parts.
Yarr... Ninjas, monkeys, and robots, oh my!
