KVM seems to be the Next Big Thing. I don't have much experience with it. The last time I tried to get it up and running on a workstation using CentOS 5.something it failed miserably. I couldn't even get it running. It has reached much better maturity now, though. At least, I'm putting my faith in that statement seeing as Red Hat has phased Xen out and is moving all of their VM eggs into the KVM basket. I've been meaning to try it out again and see what I can do. I've heard anecdotal evidence that it is far more efficient since it is hooked directly into the kernel.
XenServer, despite being pretty much the same product, is crap. Somehow, Citrix managed to ruin something that, at the time they bought it, ran well and was fairly solid. They changed enough to make it kludgy pile.
I think this might be a core question. Fundamentally, at least in my experience, "computer science" is a vocational education track; MIS's geeky brother. As it is, I've encountered more people without degrees (or any higher education, for that matter) in the IT industry than I probably would in any other field. What might be a better methodology for university-level education is pure computer engineering.
Granted, he retracted his opinion after getting a thorough tongue lashing from gamers, but he still basically maintains that games cannot be art. With an art museum now planning an exhibit, his argument is kinda dead.
Granted, he retracted his statement that video games aren't art after getting a thorough tongue lashing from gamers, but this definitely takes some wind out of his sails.
I'm postulating that if they actually released a real, polished turd that it would probably still sell well based on the existing following and the hype that would surround it.
What you're doing is misinterpreting what I'm saying. I'm not calling their current product line polished turds. I'm postulating that if they actually released a real, polished turd that it would probably still sell well based on the existing following and the hype that would surround it. Geekiness has nothing to do with it. It's about the cult of personality that surrounds Apple and drives their sales.
Speaking of someone being offended. These products don't offend my "geek-centric view of the world". I recognize their value, quality and impact on technology. However, if you don't think Apple could put out a polished turd and still make millions, you haven't been paying attention.
I'm wondering if Apple's prices started lower (relatively speaking) because they gambled on the fact that there is a lot of hype surrounding everything they do as well as the dedicated, cult-like following that tend to buy whatever they come out with regardless of cost or function. Perhaps they factored in the scale of their shipments from the beginning enabling them to come in lower than they could have.
I'm not claiming to be ahead of the curve and therefore better than the fans of the show. I'm saying that fans of the show who think RPSLS came from the show are clearly wrong.
As soon as non-geeks get their hands on geek culture it leaves a horrible taste in the mouth.
This is one of the reasons I'm not a big fan of Big Bang Theory. They seem to have taken as much geekiness as they could and crammed it into a series. In the process they not only turned geekiness into a farcical mockery but have also co-opted such things as Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock making people think that the show's stars/creators came up with the idea when in reality is predates it by at least a decade: http://www.samkass.com/theories/RPSSL.html. I can personally say that I remember reading about it several years ago.
And they have yet to come close to delivering a $100 anything. As well, they can talk about the specs of this latest version, but they have not yet actually built any.
That isn't the point. Charbax was responding to the ACs claim that the XO didn't kickstart the netbook market. Whether OLPC has delivered on its promises is another discussion entirely.
It doesn't have to be in the movies to be canon. There are several books, comic books, cartoons, games, etc that establish the canon as well, if not more so.

Her account wasn't hijacked. Her parents found out about the party and put the kibosh on it.

Ah, well then, take your "petrol" and go smoke a "fag" or somesuch.
Why do you keep putting gas in quotes?
How would you know?

Hell, I don't even date women that are only an 80% match.
Ah, crap! Sorry. Yes.
Same company created the four-legged robotic pack mule. I've seen it live. No running CHEETAH robot can ever be as creepy as that thing.

Atom Ant is the next step.

What's so hard to understand about that?

Part of what I was getting at.

I doubt it, but I'm just speculating.

Protip: Speaking of people that take themselves too seriously, you may have missed the point.
