I don't know. I'm running KVM on Debian 7 with DRBD replicating all my guests to a backup VM host server. When I looked at Hyper-V, I found out that to replicate my set up would cost me roughly $10,000, and that's before I even buy the actual physical servers.
If I'm going to be using the CLI to manage virtual machines, I stick with libvirt's toolset.
No, it's sociopathy to tell someone looking for help for a loved one to simply let that loved one die. It shows callousness, both towards the submitter, and towards the family member. The kind of callousness I expect from Libertarian sociopaths.
We could always ask your parents.
I'd agree with this. This is very early days, and while the road ahead is difficult, she could recover far more than is immediately obvious.
What did you expect from a bunch of Ron Paulite sociopaths?
As long law schools are allowed to pump out vast numbers of lawyers, this problem will continue.

Fuck man! I'd pay a goodly amount of money for one I could plant at staff meetings. Perhaps it could come with an audio board that would sporadically spout out phrases like "Way to go, team!" and "I will reprioritize to make sure your issue is at the top of the list."

It's the way I work. I have no interest in 10" or larger tablets. The 7" tablet seems the absolutely perfect size for me. I had a chance to play with an iPad 2 and I just thought it was way too large.
By the same token, when I use a laptop, I feel 15" is absolute perfect. Big enough screen to do serious work, and providing it has a decent keyboard, I'm a happy guy.
The Surface Pro 3 doesn't hit any of my buttons. Too big for what I use a tablet for. Too small for what I use a notebook for. Worst of all, it's price so high I can buy a 7" tablet AND a 15" notebook and still be ahead money wise at the end of the day.
My work email is through Exchange. Whether I access it through an Android, a Windows or an iOS device seems pretty irrelevant. I tend to avoid putting much in the way of business data on any portable device, using remote desktop to access business data.
And yes, GMail and Google Drive are on the cloud, and I use them, but then again, that's the way Microsoft is moving as well, so I ask "So what?"
It strikes me as irrelevant. My Nexus 7 weighs very little, and the 15" notebook isn't too bad. I don't put things on a scale, and use that as my sole measure for whether I should buy them or not. The price of the Surface Pro 3 is too high for what it can actually deliver.
It can do what it looks. For $900 I can buy a tablet and a notebook, with money to spare.
I found the original Zahn trilogy just over the top on exposition. The prose seemed very leaden, even if the plot itself was reasonably interesting. I admit it's been about 20 years or so since I read his original books, but I remember from the very first page, where Luke is talking to Obiwan's force ghost for the last time, that it just felt like very long-winded and exposition-heavy prose.
