some of us have never used AOL before, and i'm not sure it's a bragging to right to admit you ever DID use aol...$500 a month bills to play an online game in the mid 90's....
actually it was released Jun 16th, 2002.
but you have a point, how long should they keep supporting the game? too bad they won't release the source and let the community take it over.
are we sure this story isn't just to distract us from the AT&T + NSA snooping headlines? if they need to ask ISP's to retain all this data, then surely the NSA isn't doing what everything thinks they are doing.
The real trick to any virtualization is how you utilize your processor, gobs and memory and fast storage.
In VMware --- Under Linux you would go to Edit -> Preferences -> Memory (tab) and choose Fit all virtual machine memory into reserved host ram.
this will greatly boost speeds as nothing is swapped to disk
--- to speed up your resuming of virtual machines you would go to Edit -> preferences -> priority (tab) and uncheck Take and restore snapshots in the background.
this one is significant for those vm images with more 512MB.
--- also a fast hard drive helps as well, if you got a laptop with a 4800/5400rpm drive, it's going to be a lot slower than a 7200 rpm drive.
--- inside of your guest environments, trim it down
* disable 3d screensavers
* disable unneeded services
e.g. do you really need apache or iis running
in the background
--- if you are not using your host environment for anything, trim it down as much as you can. --- If you want to be able to access external storage inside your vmware guest, use usb, forget firewire, vmware doesn't support those kinds of devices. --- Laptops that support disabling HyperThreading is often there for the reason it WILL overheat, disable it when using VMware, cuz it WILL overheat. --- if your clock is running slow in your linux guests, try the following link http://www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.p hp?p_faqid=1420
better yet, before you even try that, make sure you install vmware-tools to your linux guest. DO BE AWARE ANY KERNEL UPGRADES BREAKS THESE TOOLS, AND YOUR PERFORMANCE WILL SUFFER.
for window guest os, also install these tools, but you won't have the same breakage problem. --- Performance of NAT vs Bridging, NAT is slower and if you try to run security audit tools such as nessus or nmap, you will start getting network time-outs until a slot becomes available. --- Another tip, once you build your guest environment, run all your apps at once and check your memory. If you find that you aren't utilizing all that memory, adjust it accordingly in the VMware guest settings. ---
some example VMs I run on a daily basis are 384MB ubuntu drapper drake OS for personal work station (email, gaim, browsing, open office), security auditting vm (384MB|bridged networking!) and Windows 2003 Enterprise + Visual Studio 2005 + SQL Server 2005 + BizTalk 2006. I run all 3 simultaneously without any real hiccups on a laptop whose host os is ubuntu.

SNMPv3 is supposed to be more secure, but then again how many products out there really support v3.
and IM work well for those of us that are either hard of hearing or completely deaf.
They are declarative languages.
I think his point is if your job is more like playing, it becomes less like work.

but what about those who are deaf, how do they go about aquiring language without audio?
and let's not forget the autistic who at 13 years old swear they only woke up to the world around them when a keyboard was placed in front of them.
