XenServer (the version from Citrix/XenSource) has the ability to convert OVF; natively, they use the Microsoft-derived VHD format.

Thanks for the snco link, that looks exactly like what I was looking for!

Go to Borders, get the Moleskine knock-offs made by Piccadilly. I found myself migrating to the larger size instead of the roughly 3x5 inch small ones.

Decent article, but I think that Joel should have worked in a reference to Neal Stephenson's "In the Beginning Was the Command Line" as well.

A related thought: I guess Coca-Cola, with their "Coke is it!" ad campaigns, might begin to re-brand themselves...

Yes it is unfair. As an example, consider that no matter what interpretation of any tax law you get from an IRS employee, it will not hold up in court - if an IRS agent tells you to do A, then the IRS decides later to disallow A and that yo

Actually I viewed the original "funemployment" article as a propaganda piece, focused on putting a happy face on what are pretty bad numbers.

They have to inflate the population at all costs, otherwise the new money they are printing will lead to currency debasement. Not trying to make a joke here about sex and inflation, it is just that they realize that adding more population i

This is more like an ad than an article. Flow-based routers have been developed in the past, and the reason they are not prevalent is due to performance issues of one kind or another. If they truly have solved the problem(s) that other flow

My understanding was that in order to avoid the "hobby" classification you have to make money in 2 out of 5 years (this ratio might be different from what I remember).

Hammer looks interesting, would be nice if I could find some nice reviews of how it performs on DragonFlyBSD however.

Sad too is that Kodachrome was something that Kodak could have exploited as a market differentiator, but didn't. No other slide film had the same process or the same archival quality. Supposedly someone had invented a one-hour K-14 process

You mean Northwest Airlines in the USA, which has the oldest fleet of any carrier? They are a "regular" airline. In a study a few years back their fleet had an average age of 18.1 years. http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/200

It is probably higher - have a look at shadowstats.com to see the difference between the stated national rates, and the rates if computed using the old method.

Somewhat related but not exactly the same is this scan of a paper document described as a "Safe Keeping Receipt" from the Federal Reserve: http://etleboro.com/documents/copy-title.pdf Note Page 2 phrase: "This ... is an operative instrume

It should not take a week to determine the certificates' authenticity. So something weird is going on.

Mono comes from the same makes-Linux-slow team as the people who "gifted" us with Gnome. Who are these guys really working for?

I think it is important to point out that there may not be a correlation between the exploit and his hanging himself; some other members of his immediate family also committed suicide in years past.

My suggestion: the US should create a class of corporate trusts similar to the "canroys" that Canada has. Under this setup, as long as a certain high percentage of the profits are distributed to the shareholders each year, the corporate tax

The air under the floor is pressurized, so convection won't play much part in how the air moves.

Parachute use at high altitudes means you have to either depressurize the entire cabin, or else create some sort of airlock which allows you to get into an unpressurized space so that you can open a door to the outside; which would add a la

I have not read "The Forgotten Man", may read it in the future. Actually I thought the article was trying for an easy to understand "hook" with the tax info, since it is unlikely that the top 1% of earners are the bulk of those buying the $

Not mentioned: Amity Shlaes (the author of the article) also wrote a book about the Great Depression, called "The Forgotten Man". It is no surprise she would write about Atlas Shrugged. From the blurb about the book on her site: "Franklin

Actually a netbook package with just enough smarts to connect to Wifi, plus VPN + Sun Ray software, would be great at expanding their Sun Ray installed base. Sun Ray users who use them at home say everything is zippy even over 256kbps conn

The Millionaire Next Door was somewhat interesting. However the follow-on book, "The Millionaire Mind" was packed with statistics instead of anecdotes and for me at least, had a number of ideas and changes to my perspective to offer.

You are mis-interpreting my point: it is not officers being responsible for contractual obligations in general, it is (or at least was) an exception carved out for wages owed employees. There seems to be a lot of debate over when/if an of
