VMware and VirtualBox aren't noticeably different on recent hardware and OSes. I've tried both, and granted VMware works better with Win98, but that's uncommon.
VirtualBox has 3d support. I clocked in an OpenGL test at within 10% native speed. DirectX is coming ASAP.
Literally yesterday I tried to start two VT-x virtual macines and it bitched at me. Granted, the error wasn't very friendly, but it was obvious what I had done wrong.
I use Windows XP as a guest and sync my iPhone to it with a linux host. It works fine, but USB is a little slower than usual. They're working on it, and it's improved dramatically with the last few maintenance releases.
Sure, it's possible that VirtualBox is really just a piece of crap, and it's only been working great for me out of some kind of random luck, but somehow I don't think so. I imagine that, like other maturing software products, it's been improving with time...
Those of us in ambulances don't magically get the road. Everybody is so important that they can't be bothered to pull over, even with the airhorn.
VoIP is more like a HOV/carpool lane. Nobody is against QoS, but net neutrality isn't about no QoS. It's about no discrimination based on source or destination.
You aren't going to find any serious people wanting their BitTorrent running at the same high priority as VoIP. In any case, properly set-up QoS won't affect most people ever, even the torrenters. Just at high load.
People didn't stop paying their mortgages because they fucking felt like it. Even 'undeserving' homeowners (yes, there are such a thing) as a rule paid their mortgage until they couldn't. For example, losing their job or having a huge unexpected expense (medical).
Do you disagree with me, or do you think we should be 'fixing' the symptoms by discouraging lending? (For the record, I don't think everybody's entitled to a home - maybe an apartment - but I don't think that you're being entirely honest)
Don't worry, the -gate suffix doesn't mean anything here either. Calling that BS with Phelps bong-gate just made me disregard the entire manufactured problem (otoh, we know why he ate so much! hah)
A non-idiot would be able to see that this current... dilemma is a lot longer-standing than 3 years. The problem is, banks were getting better at making bad loans and milking them as long as they could.
See the earlier story regarding the formula. It let them do the things that they had been doing, but better (and most importantly, longer).
Took a lot longer than 3 years to bring down an economy.
And, by the way, foreclosures (as a rule) are because of unexpected expenses (medical) or loss of job. Not some BS about forcing lenders' hands.
Aside from the obvious benefit of security (see the earlier story re: idiots sharing blueprints on p2p), this will also help stimulate the economy.
I'm no huge fan of Obama, especially with the RIAA lawyers and the wiretapping thing, but spending money is the right idea here. The government is the only entity who can spend money here, so they need to spend it. That's Keynesian economic theory, and it's probably the best theory we have (at least, it's been tested).
The idea is: save money when the market's good, like Clinton managed. Then spend it when the market's bad.
The idea is, any spending is good. Including that grass at the Capitol. And spending it on us nerds helps the tech. industry across the board.
And guess what? We have some of the cheapest gas in the country - the full-service law (which adds jobs, however bad they are) comes with a decrease in fuel tax.
Try turning it sideways (top pointing right), then flipping clockwise so the top is pointing down. You get landscape mode, and it's facing the proper way.
OT I know, but maybe it'll help. I wish somebody made a jailbreak thing that would disable/enable rotation, shouldn't be too hard to do.
First of all, it's a threat physically (can kill the mother, especially if underage) and emotionally (postpartum depression? difficulty of life, etc)
That's not really relevant; that's not the question. Biologically, it's a parasite, or more accurately a tumor, until it's able to survive on its own. That happens at about 6 months, and I completely agree that there shouldn't be any abortion after then.
Until then, however, it's a growth with distinct DNA (like a tumor) stealing nutrients from its host.
I have AT&T (iPhone) $30/mo. The AUP is surprisingly fair; IIRC it's no servers and no tethering. Neither is enforced, aside from NAT (for no servers). Tethering works fine anyway. I've been very happy about it; pulled about 5GB so far this month - about normal for me.
DVB-T is superior in most respects, you are correct.
However, Europe - where DVB-T started - is more urban than much of the US. ATSC was, in many senses, designed specifically to work better in rural areas.
Yeah, except (as I've mentioned before) PBS '13' is on 61 analog in my area.
61 comes in like shit.
When the switch happens, they will be moving back to physical channel 13, and the original location and power. Until then, I'm stuck with a nice HDTV that I can't really use for PBS... and that's most of what I watch.
I know how to re-channelscan when all the physical channels move... all at different times. Most people only scanned when they got the box.
Thus, ignorant people on analog will go 'why is Fox not working? NBC works fine...'. Ignorant people on digital will go 'why is Fox not working? NBC works fine'... and us knowledgable people will be shouting on Slashdot.
Perhaps they currently are legal, but they shouldn't be. They're mighty unilateral, and there's no proof that the purchaser/player agreed.
Oh, I didn't 'sign that contract' (click yes to the EULA, or not protest the ToS). My brother/cat/son did while I was taking a deuce.
Now what? The person playing the game didn't explicitly agree to your terms. Only implicitly, and that's mighty thin ice. He'd say he was never confronted with a ToS.
apt-get is designed to install for the system. it's perfectly possible to run most software (firefox, etc) in your home directory, e.g. local to a user.
Realistically, this isn't an issue. If I download PaintShit Photo Editor v1337 from sexyshareware.com, I'm going to be reeealy suspicious if it needs to run as root. If it runs as a user, then (theoretically) the worst it can do is hose that user. Running programs as a different user (nobody) fixes that, and is still easy.
If I get my PaintShit from my package manager, then it is trusted as much as I trust the distributor (Ubuntu, Fedora) and cryptographically signed so I know they put their stamp on it. Hence, since they have a good track record, I don't mind installing it for everybody.
Still won't run it as root.
The basic idea is you need to go out of your way to affect the whole system, and you can't do it by accident.
Because the P4 architecture sucked. It was crazy fast, but at those speeds they (and we) realized that speed wasn't the only thing. Pretty much right then, the GHz wars stopped. My Core2 Duo at 2GHz runs circles (a dozen times, by my tests, even for single-threaded work) around my 3.2GHz P4.
I gotta say, your theory is one of the stupidest conspiracy theories I've heard in a while.

You haven't either, did you?

Cheapest gas on the eastern seaboard, NJ has.
Good thing the stomach acids are pretty good about making the magic smoke escape from electronics then, right?
I missed it because I wasn't wasting my time with Scientific American. I read real magazines.
Only half-joking. Sorry
Nope; by this story, about a third of the stations are at their final allocation.
That's why channel reception is different for DTV than it is for analog. After the switch, it should be identical.
For example, PBS (channel 13) in my area is digital-broadcasting on 61, which comes in like shit. They'll be moving back to 13.
You can have analog and digital on the same physical frequency.
Yeah, I know it sucks.

As a teenager (17):
Bull. Shit.
Age is irrelevant; a 30-year-old with the mind of a 12-year-old would still be legal (unless I misunderstand)
If somebody isn't competent to have sex at 16, they won't be competent at 18-and-a-day.
No discussion. If you disagree, you aren't remembering yourself at 16, and your peers.
The problem is, one of these people is legal to fuck, and one isn't. With dire consequences.
Should we card people before we take them home?
That's some pretty good stuff you're smoking.
Ever notice how lawyers seem to care really hard about whatever the case du jour is? That's their job.
I hate lawyers and the RIAA as much as the next guy, but the only allegiance lawyers have is to whoever paying the check that day.
Professionally, that is. Doesn't really matter what their private beliefs are.

You can't violate the GPL unless you are modifying and distributing. You can violate an EULA by looking sideways and sneezing.
Feel free to review the evidence yourself, and come to your own conclusions.
But we won't care, because he's not an expert on climate...

Same location, same channel, same problem. They'll also be moving from physical channel 61 (or so) to physical 13, where they belong.
There's hope yet, but if they don't cut out on the 17th, I'm buying an outdoor antenna.
Even if you are a porn downloader, with common compression, you could download 24/7 and still download faster than you can watch it
Would you care to make a wager?
Yeah, except (as I've mentioned before) PBS '13' is on 61 analog in my area.
