@Iszi - my view on this is that because any virtualisation of a server or environment acts like the real one, you need to at least use the same controls you would in the real world, PLUS extra controls specific to the hypervisor

There's a debate in the office as to whether a clone VM (essentially, a spare VM copied from an existing one and only kept around as a backup system, as I understand it) should be treated equivalent to a physical backup tape or a full system.

I seem to recall that the functionality exists - doesnt the LaTeX stackexchange chat support it?

5 or 6 years ago when Rory and I worked for the same employer, everyone just referred to me as Rory 1 (as I was there first) and he was Rory 2. With the new gig, he grabbed Rory 1 first...so I went all Asimov and my sig is Rory 0.

Stack Overflow Blog: Careers 2.0 now does GitHub

Posted by Matt Sherman on March 30th, 2011

In our continuing effort to allow awesome developers to demonstrate their …awesomeness… we’ve added the ability to include your GitHub projects on your Careers 2.0 profile.

The feature is inspired by a sentiment widely shared among developers and employers: show me. As John Resig put it:

The process is easy. Head over to your Careers 2.0 profile, and look for the cute little GitHub guy:

…and two clicks later, your GitHub awesome becomes part of your Careers 2.0 awesome – complete with language tags and time span. We give you the opportunity to explain your work, too. …

@packs 'execution units' - my private ninja assassins:-)

Mar 21, 2011 15:07

That's the trick with distributed work loads. You don't get a full 50% bump when moving from 2 execution units to 3, but you do get enough of a workload decrease across the board to make it worth while.
