I travel around the world regularly, including China, and I use my GMail account in nearly every country I go to. GMail has never ever notified me that my account was being accessed from a foreign IP. Are you sure they didn't ask you to enter in your user name and password as well.
There is shared responsiblity. Some responsibility also lies with the users. VMware View is an enterprise product, not used by home users. All enterprises should thoroughly test any patches they deploy, this would be picked up instantly. More of an annoyance than an issue really.
Unfortunately Australia's blacklist will not be published either and one of the concerns is it expanding from blocking child pornography to other categories. There have already been indications by right wing conservatives that they want to include things like gambling, and I'm sure ARIA (Australian RIAA) would like to block torrent sites. Of course it won't manage to block anything from anyone that wants to get around it, but it'll probably reduce Australia's internet to a crawl.
That must be the only lucky thing about Aussie broadband. Compared to other developed countries it is slow as hell and overpriced. The customer service is bad as well but that's not just Australia.
VMware virtual centre has lots of features that do this and more, we use it in an enterprise (300+) servers (production, test and acceptance). It can allocate CPU resources on the fly between servers and it can also consolidate servers onto less physical hardware and power off unneeded hardware outside peak usage hours.
"Whether the story breaks out way before the defendant reaches the court or on the day of he still enjoys the exact same legal rights." "The media doesn't protect people's rights, the courts do."
You have contradicted your own argument, if the media has no effect on a persons rights then it shouldn't matter what (or when) they report.
From an entertainment point of view it should have all stopped with the first movie. From a financial perspective as long as people keep paying they'll keep making them. Sequels that live up to the original are VERY rare.
I wouldn't "ask" him anything, we all know his stance on copyright. You and your students should take this oppourtunity to politely "tell" him your views on how copyright affects you. He probably never gets a chance to hear from "real" people. Make sure that you consider your comments carefully before making your opinion known. Do your research, have your comments prepared. For instance, instead of saying stuff like "MPAA rips off artists" say something like "I would be more likely to pay for material if it was distributed online DRM free". You never know, you may even have an affect on him, these are the people we need to convince, not annoy.
Some drivers eg network, HBA are contolled by VMKernel drivers provided by VMWare and are certified only to run on a very limited set of certified and tested hardware. Other drivers eg USB, CDRom are controlled by Linux Console. When a virtual machine needs to access hardware control is passed to either kernel based on the hardware device. This is why things like CPU, Network and disk run at near native speeds in VM's whereas things like CDrom and USB are slow or not available at all to VMs.
It goes Producer -> MiddleMan -> Distributor -> Customer. And in this case the customer has shown that they can exert inluence via Dells feedback facility.
Another way to get your message across is not buy Dell if they don't give you the option of XP, there are thousands of PC retailers ranging all the way from giants like Dell to mom and pop outlets, I'm sure someone can sell you a new PC with preinstalled XP.
As for enterprise customers who are usually restricted to buying from the big manufactures (Dell, IBM, HP etc) most of them weild enough influence that they can get whatever operating system they want, or have the skills and expertise to install themselves.
Both are illegal, uploading and downloading, but is much harder to prove downloading than uploading. Also if they get you for uploading they can sue you for what "they" consider to be the loss from each upload from you (RIAA guestimate), if they sue you for downloading they can only sue for the loss from on sale.
I like the idea of three strikes and out. It's better than no strikes and your sued, like in the US. This gives all Aussies the freedom to download with immunity until they receive a warning from ARIA (AussieRIA), and based on the number of people engaged in downloading the odds of getting a warning are minimal. The only way this would ever work is if the ISPs actively monitored illegal downloading for the record industry and suspended their cutomers without ARIA's involvement (which I doubt). Otherwise based on the current situation of ARIA informing ISP, getting IP, gathering evidence etc then all you get is a warning, it actually makes downloading less of a risk.
All cases have been for "sharing" (uploading), not downloading. If you don't share you won't get sued. Of course this goes against the whole idea of file sharing and if no-one shared there would be no files to download. Which is what the RIAA wants. But there will always be people and countries which don't care about the RIAAs agenda and file sharing will continue. The RIAA wants you to think you get sued for downloading to scare naive people into buying their worthless crap.

If any bit of what you said makes sense to you then you have already been indoctrinated.

It works for China, why not Australia.

I think virtualisatioin is green. It is more ifficient use of resources, the same as building a more efficient vehicle. http://www.vmware.com/solutions/consolidation/green/

How about they give them a 4GB binary memory dump and let them figure it out.

If you want to run XP and 4GB ram make sure you get the 64bit version, otherwise you can only use 3GB see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888137.
