Guess you haven't had the pleasure of calling VMware support, they suck like everyone else. Given the recent spate of high CVSS score vulnerabilities, I'll take my chances with another hypervisor platform.

Google Blogger: Vietnamese HS Students Excelling At CS 291
An anonymous reader writes "A Google engineer visiting Vietnam discovered a large portion of Vietnamese high school students might be able to pass a Google interview. According to TFA (and his blog), students start learning computing as early as grade 2. According to the blogger and another senior engineer, about half of the students in an 11th grade class he visited would be able to make through their interview process. The blogger also mentioned U.S. school boards blocking computer science education. The link he posted backing up his claim goes to a Maryland Public Schools website describing No Child Left Behind technicalities. According to the link, computer science is not considered a core subject. While the blogger provided no substantial evidence of U.S. school boards blocking computer science education, he claimed that students at Galileo Academy had difficulty with the HTML image tag. According to the school's Wikipedia page, by California standards, Galileo seems to be one of the state's better secondary schools."

Saw this one at a Marilyn Manson concert, thought it took a lot of balls to pull off.
It's a pretty innocuous word in German, but has negative connotations in other languages.

I will concur though that some kind of tab overview would be great. Didn't early versions of Chrome have that?
Hit Shift-Esc to bring up the Chrome Task Manager. It will give you a summary of each tab's memory, cpu, and network consumption as well as the ability to kill individual tabs.

There is a common mis-conception amongst carnivores that a meal has to contain meat to be tasty. This is complete nonesense, but unfortunately prejudice and ignorance prevent many people from even investigating this fact with an open mind.
I disagree, most attempts at vegetarian cuisine just replace existing meat dishes with cheese, tofu, seitan, mushroom or some other filler. Indian is the only cuisine that has original dishes that do not have some sort of meat influence.

Because Americans eat a lot of goat meat, right?
I'm a murican and I love goat meat. Muricans don't know what they're missing but then again I guess Jamaican, Indian and Cabrito aren't mainstream.

It's not just the beer, it's the reserved seating. That's my favorite feature of the Sundance Kabuki in San Francisco (which also has beer, wine, a full bar, snacks, etc). I think there's one in Houston now, too.
