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 you should have done B, they will hit you up with taxes and penalties and you have no recourse.
UNLESS, you pay money for an IRS administrative ruling; then, you can use that response in tax court. The key is that the cost for such rulings are $50K. Each.

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 is a requirement.

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-based routers had, great, but this can only be determined in the real world.

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 or machine, but Kodak would not license it to be used.

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.

How would you like to be in your 30s and flying on a plane older than you are?

Is there any other confirmation of Erik's death?
