No weasel words at all, you are just 100% wrong. You obviously have no first hand experience with large scale virtualization techniques and are also not very good at reading comprehension.
All other things being equal means.. If you increase the load on each individual partition after virtualization it would increase the power requirements. Perhaps the person who misread an article should stop trying to argue with people that have a first hand knowledge of the technology.
You need to reread the article you linked. In no case would virtualization use more power than an equivalent non-virtualized environment. Yes the server with 5 images running will use more power than it did with its single OS, but it will still use less power than 5 or 6 individual servers (All other things being equal).
Anyone who designs and/or recommends virtualization solutions for a living should understand this already, it is just common sense. Of course Mark Twain told us...
Every button on the sling remote has a keyboard equivalent (At least the directivo and HR20 ones) and if you want to delve into the UI you can make them whatever you want.
SlingMedia has been around a couple years now and is on the second generation of the product. They are still a new company but probally do not qualify as a startup. Sony has location free tv and there are other similar products out there too. Sling is probably the best place shifting consumer device on the market, that is why they get the most attention.
If sling media closed tomorrow, slingboxes would still work, some people might have to get dynamic dns set up, but other than that the boxes would retain 100% functionality.
Than someone wherever you worked was just not very bright. I have had a classic since release and it has worked flawlessly. I have 2 Avs and the classic is still working great.
There are no other products free or pay that compare with the slings ability to dynamically adjust to changing bandwidth. I have tried everything out there. I travel internationally 40-50 weeks a year and have tried every solution available including myth, orb , beyond and 2 or 3 others. Nothing has the hardware and remote support (or even comes close).
BTW(Because it is not relayed to the comment I am currently responding to). It is silly to call myth free when you have to buy a PC and a tuner card.. The sligbox is a compact easy to use all in one solution that does exactly what it claims, better than you would expect and classics can be had for less than the price of moderate tuner card that will not provide anywhere near the quality.
If that is their target market they already failed.
- No 3rd party applications
- No 3G Support
- No Typical Smartphone functionality beyond Email
Windows Mobile devices are much more flexible.
Apple's stock price went almost 8% on the iPhone announcement. The owners of Apple received a significant benefit from the use of the iPhone name.
Cisco is not trademark squatting here, they registered in 96 and sell an iPhone product. Apple knowingly violated the most clear cut part of US intellectual property law. If Cisco does not sue them, they risk allowing iPhone to become some sort of generic term (This is why Apple sues absolutely everyone who uses the iPod name without a preexisting agreement).
I am writing this message from my Macbook Pro while listening to my iPod.
I do doubt there will be much of a market for this device. The only benefit it gives is the ability to use apple drm'd media files. The inability to install 3rd party applications (And their ridiculous comments about bringing down the cell network), lack of 3g support and the fact that very few people will want a phone with no tactile response for dialing means this device is mostly likely not going anywhere anyway.
Your right ignore the Law. Apple should have sought a short term agreement to use the name for the announcement while the details of an actual agreement were being made.
The CEO of Apple preferred to break off any good faith negotiations that were in progress and proceed to infringe on Ciscos trademark. Apple made a mistake, and a fairly significant one.
Actually the IRS should not be profit motivated. The IRS should be motivated to gather the funds required to do these things and only these things:
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;

I believe on launch day the WII had outsold the PS3 and has had a much better supply since then. Neither company has released any numbers since the release week(that I am aware of), so we can't really say for sure.
I just picked up Wiimotes and Nunchucks whenever I saw them in a store until I had 4 of each. They trickle into stores and you never know who will have them. I believe I fot a nunchuck from best buy, 2 nunchucks and a wiimote from a target and the other 2 wiimotes from walmart.
I'm continuously amazed how close-minded Americans are. "US norms and basic fairness" do not automatically translate to the rest of the world. At least in Europe it is common for (naturally) monopolistic markets (e.g. Electrical distribution) to be regulated, with fixed prices. That's what Russia had for music, and that's what the US forced them to abandon. In the US electrical distribution, cable television and local telephone service are regulated monopolies. In most US markets they are finding ways to open some of this up to competition, but for now the owners of the last mile for electrical wire, cable tv and telephone service remain regulated monopolies.
This is very cool! But I'm not sure what NetFlix and Blockbuster (among others) are going to think about this! Finally, an easy way to get DVD's onto my computer!
The site recommends not having your Netflix dvds sent to them:)
museum: a building or place where works of art, scientific specimens, or other objects of permanent value are kept and displayed.
Since this building does not appear to contain any art, scientific specimens or anything of permanent value, I believe a more appropriate term would be theme park.
theme park: an amusement park in which landscaping, buildings, and attractions are based on one or more specific themes, as jungle wildlife, fairy tales, or the Old West.
Your roommates did not drop out of college because of WoW. Your roommates were immature college students with serious responsibility and development issues that happened to play WoW.
That is not true. Less than 1% of the soldiers that have gone to Iraq have died. You are apparently disconnected from reality too. (approximately 500,000 us soldiers have served in the current war in Iraq, 2866 have died (2350 in combat)). That does not exactly sound like the chances are that you ARE going to die.
Ignorant Anonymous Cowards make me cry.

Not to mention the fact they also sell a product called an iPhone already.

You are 100% wrong. If you buy a stock and sell it for the same price, you owe no taxes whatsoever,

Well than I suppose it is good you did not volunteer to join the military.
I often wonder how you can be modded as flame bait for responding to flame bait.
Now we have stories about stories about the release of a story about Global warming, which is of course another story.
