We use OpenNebula/KVM here.
Both are free as in speech, I can do live migration, it's easy to manage, etc.
I'm running the whole thing on an NFS share from an AoE storage backend.
100% libre software solution, and it kicks ass.

Good luck vmware.

Oh, I think I have a really clear picture of my countries' political strategy. Coinsidering I'm stuck with it, and no candidate I vote for makes a difference, and I am forced to pay into it (our military spending is 2 magnitudes bigger than what we spend on education), it's somewhat depressing to think about. Occasionally, I intentionally try to blind myself by making levity of the situation because it is truly depressing.
My comment was meant as a goofy side note, I don't want to water down your message - more power to you.

That's a fantastic!

Thanks, my pedantic friend. I award you 3 internets for catching my lackadaisical usage of grammar and relying to heavily on Chromium's spellcheck.

I announce the world, in apology, that I should have used "their" to indicate possession, not the ugly mistake of a misplaced homophone.

I hid a similar error in the second sentence of this apology, mostly for your schadenfreude. It's the least I can do.

I blame Battlefield 3 - It's all a plot by Sweden, actually. They are manipulating us via amazing video games.
Hold on, I just dropped my tinfoil hat.... erm... actually, Sweden is amazing and totally innocent, and DICE is the best studio in the whole universe. EA is even better. Iran has a really fair government that clearly loves their people, and everyone should trust the Federal reserve, they're heart is in the right place.

FYI - I couldn't be more against despotic regimes, I don't fly because of the TSA... I'm not an apologist.
I do; however, have the same question anytime this article runs on Slashdot (Bluecoat /Syria was before this one)
If you are Ericcson/Cisco/Bluecoat/Juniper/etc, how do you ensure your tech never ends up being used for "evil"?
Who is evil? Should network filtering equipment be declared munitions and its export controlled? Should they include a killswitch so if it gets in the hands of an evil dictator it can be disabled? Should Nokia do background checks on all potential buyers to try to predict whether or not they are straw purchasers for evil entities?

Both of those ideas some either really far fetched, impractical, or inethical in themselves... so my question is - if you feel a hatin' rising up after reading this about Ericcson/Nokia - what should they do?

I have to say Qt and Python with various GUI technologies not only prove idea wrong, but I would say you can develop faster with them.

That said, I wish there was a Linux equivalent to visual studio - although, Qt Designer is pretty damn close.

Is _____ (Suggestions: Apple, Microsoft) KILLING Linux/Google/Bitcoin _____ ?

For example:
Is MICROSOFT BING KILLING Google SEARCH?
Is APPLE SANDBOXING KILLING Bitcoin MINING?

I think I have the formula fogured out, these articles are actually heuristically generated from statistically high word count topics, and kdawson and Soulskill are actually AIs.

What's a little atheist? Is that different from an atheist, or perhaps a great big atheist?

Disabling secure boot is not a solution - it's crippling the security, needlessly. I'd love to hear my Dell rep explain to me on my next round of server purchases that I cannot use a fantastic feature to protect the security of my linux servers because they were too lazy/corrupt to enable me to use my own platform key. I will buy from the vendor who allows my to set the PK, and will not from those who refuse. Period.

1.) Google indexes Facebook comments 2.) Facebook comments become #1 target for spammers worldwide 3.) Facebook becomes a diluted, email-esque spam haven.... 4.) ...driving all users to Google+, since they - conspicuously - don't index their comments.

Have you heard of ATA over Ethernet? It's the bees knees. For VM, it's pretty much better than iSCSI in every way I have seen. It's scales out in a peered fashion. It's really damn efficient, and last time I set one up the total configuration process took me around 10 min, given support is already in the kernel. Want to go faster? Grab a 10G switch - no Fibre channel required. Bottlenecks? Only if you design it that way - you could just have a "switch full of HD's" if you like. I may or may not have set up a 2 PB AoE installation for the Marines... just saying... :)

Is it possible to mod the base post down as flamebait?
