The free version of Xenserver does not include HA, which is crucial in our environment. Also, no load balancing servers on Xenserver. We need the ability to move a VM to a new server for load balancing purposes. Considering these 2 factors, We will not be leaving ESX anytime soon.

I hear this arguement a lot. And while I agree with it, I also disagree with it.

Let's say I know several drug dealers. In order for them to not be caught, they all hop in cars and drive around mobile. Someone comes to me and says they are looking for pot. I check my GPS tracker and tell them where to find the drug dealer. Next guy asks for coke, so I check the GPS tracker on the coke dealer, and arrange another meeting.

While I am not selling anything, I highly doubt someone who participated in this type of racket would not be charged with anything. The current geek mentality is very much all or nothing. I.E. "If this is illegal, then so is selling maps to the star's homes". People need to realize that lines are drawn and there are limits. Life, and the law, are not all or nothing propositions.

Just as the police can "accidentally" serve a warrant to the wrong person and find evidence to charge this person with a crime. Since the warrant was issued "in good faith", it can then be upheld in court.

Under this new legislation, I can already see the number of "we thought we destroyed the DNA, but evidentially we forgot." Since it is in "good faith" that the police destroy DNA, I assume that old DNA will be able to be used as evidence?

Yep. I started with Slackware. Used it for a good 6 years solid. Got a new PC, and I figured I earned the right to use an easy, "just works" distro. Back then, dependency hell was a daily occurrence. With Ubuntu, I've only once ran into dependency issues. I must say, I do occasionally miss the random error resulting from running make, and then spending an hour trying to figure out wtf is going on. Plus, my wife and my 4 year old can both easily use my computer.

Nope. Congress will just pass a bill granting the manufacturer retroactive immunity.

Here ya go.

I personally have 2 of these for my IBM Ms, and they both work flawlessly.

This is why, in my contracts, I include 3 change requests. They can request 3 _specific_ changes to the design, and this is included in the quote. However, all other changes are billed out at an agreed upon hourly fee.

Couldn't you cut that figure in half? Since a phone call must be at LEAST a 2 party call? So me calling you for 30 mins would just be 1 recording covering 60 minutes between us, not 30 minutes each. So each person spending 900 minutes per month HAS to be talking to another person on Earth.
