IPv6 is only required for the VPN side. The Internet connection on both sides may still be IPv4 however. Read TFA for more details. I have a feeling Time Warner will be in no rush to upgrade my neighborhood to IPv6 no matter how many companies start using DirectAccess.

Such as...

What's so bad about NVidia's Linux drivers? Yes, yes they may be binary blobs but they work quite well.

They (Dell) are actually pretty friendly if you buy enough stuff from them as a mid-large business.

However Dell is quite different from the average teleco in that they actually have competition. Going off the example in the link, if Dell decided they didn't want to sell servers with virtualization solutions, I would leave and buy my stuff elsewhere. However, if Time Warner decided they didn't want to allow 3rd party VoIP I wouldn't have much choice but to accept it since I really need broadband and Time Warner is the sole provider in the area.

A Talari will do it. I'm using a pair now with 3 links and its been working quite well.

It certainly has a cost, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it retarded. On top of the cost it also has some very strong real world advantages such as write hole elimination(safer), variable block size (better performance), selective resilvering (faster recovery), in FS snapshots (snapshots are actually usable on a production system, unlike LVM).

Maybe you should try scripting a configuration change by manipulating a text file versus manipulating the registry. When fixing common issues remotely, the repeatability you get from a script is nice. When the script works reliably and it doesn't hurt your brain to look at, that's nice too.

If Office were written in pure .NET and all of the libraries were available everywhere, then it would run on the platform of your choosing. A Java application would have the same caveats. However Mono's primary goal is NOT portability to .NET applications. It's primary goal is to provide developers a top notch development platform on Linux (using native technologies like dbus, GTK, etc), which it does very well. Oh, and good luck making an office suite using nothing outside the POSIX standard.

Oh yeah? Well I say that DRM promotes piracy.

You can download all the SRPMs for free. How do you get any more open source than that?

The latency issues many people had initially were actually from Pulse/ALSA bugs. One of the design goals of Pulse is lower latency than ALSA + dmix.

Have you actually used Qyoto? It's not very pleasant. At all.

Magic strings galore. It's completely out of place in CLI land.

That doesn't solve the stability problem. If one of those worker threads does something naughty, the whole process is going down.

Although process creation time on Windows is slow compared to other OSes its more than fast enough for spawning a process per tab. Chrome and IE8 have already proved this in the real world.

I got it! We'll build a giant computer network that spans the entire globe. Then we can hook all of these mobile platforms, computers, and consoles up to it so they can communicate seamlessly. In fact, we can hook just about anything up to it. I propose we call this new invention "The Internet."

If I'm reading this right, the point of the web application is to manage the VMs. If it didn't have privilege to manage (or destroy in this case) the VMs, it would be pretty useless.
