"Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets," Trump's son, Donald Jr., told a real estate conference in 2008, according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. "We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."
You are ignoring the fact that Verizon still makes money off the resellers by selling them time on their network. Being required to provide access at cost does not mean they have to provide traffic at cost. To belabor your car salesman analogy, the outside salesmen would still be buying the cars from the original dealer at wholesale rates, not at the original dealer's cost. The dealer is still making money. It might suck for the dealer's retail salesmen, but don't cry for the dealer.
But VMWare Server's 'boot guest OS on host OS startup' and being able to close the virtual machines window and have the OS continue running (i.e. run it in the background with no GUI) are great features that are missing in VirtualBox.

For automatic startup on a Linux host, you can use @reboot in cron tab or add a line to/etc/rc.local. Windows has something similar.
Here's the catch: the string is actually knotted at intervals of 110 cm. So all the fudgers who get a result of 9.8 +/- 0.5 ms^-2 because they knew that was the 'right' answer get to fail, while those who got ~9 ms^-2 get full marks.
Unless someone is thorough enough to actually measure the distance between the knots.
No, the Democratic party is trying to stop the current "my primary is going to happen before your primary" insanity. Florida moved its primary to January 29th just so that it would a week ahead of the Feb 5th date that 22 other states had set for their primaries. At some point, the madness has to stop. I don't often agree with David Broder, but this time he's right
When sun provides something of substance to the free software community, I will say something of substance. But as long as they keep trolling, so will I
Happy that RH and not Oracle is buying JBoss, but disappointed that if you want to listen to RH's webcast of the press conference (going on right now, BTW), you must have either....wait for it....WiMP or Real Player! To add insult to injury, here's the company that's hosting the web cast:

Look at it this way: It takes major cojones [wikipedia.org] to admit to a huge re-write (especially if the re-writes involve core bits and pieces). This is particularly true when you're talking about a system of software that literally affects many tens of millions of computers worldwide.
Look at it *this* way: Think how bad it must *really* be if they are allowing the schedule to slip like this. This is a very big deal, no matter how Microsoft tries to spin it, and it will cost a lot of companies (like Dell) millions if they miss the Christmas feeding frenzy. You just don't launch a "major rewrite" on a product that is already in beta. I heard on NPR this morning that Microsoft canned the head of the Windows division so heads are already beginning to roll.
I've never understood why some people bitch about getting stuff for free. So, tell me, Mr. Coward: Does that single CD also contain an office suite, multiple SQL servers, a full suite of programming languages (C/C++, perl, ruby, python, java, and more), dozens of games, etc. etc. etc? No? Then you better count the CDs for MS Office, SQL Server, Visual Studio, etc. etc. etc. When you get done, let us know how many you come up with.
(Actually, I guess I have to agree with you: It *is* sad that XP is a single CD because you don't get very much for your money)
I totally agree. Only thing interesting in these is that they're open source. They look like OSX / windows, they act like OSX / windows: there's no innovation there besides the openness of the source code. Everything is a copy of something that already exists. In fact, it amuses me how Linux is _now_ starting to look like windows xp.
You know, there is no winning this argument. If Gnome or KDE applications follow the UI design standards of Windows or OSX, they are damned for "not being innovative". If they *don't* follow the Windows/OSX way of doing things, they are damned for being "too unfamiliar" or "Joe Sixpack will never understand it". In the end, KDE/Gnome/Linux, etc. simply are what they are: an alternative. In some cases superior, short of the mark in others. The truly important thing is that you are not forced to use either one -- just pick the one you like and get back to work.
Who says it was US Citizens ? I've not seen that anywhere.
The president was granted this power by congress and congress knew all along about it.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Shut up, George. And tell your little friends Dicky and Donnie to quit ringing my doorbell. Damn kids.
