    Can't really speak on his behalf, but jcarle has made some amazing and simple applications over at msfn.org for sometime, but I can imagine he has soo many things going on that he can't keep everything in order sometimes.

    For those wanting to help, it looks like he is looking for it on the forums. Check it out:

    And quux, adminfoo.net is very nice! Content is king!

    Please do, I have been wanting to do that forever...I know that's what ESX is, but I can't help but try to do it for free with a linux distro and the free server. Only problem is I don't know linux enough to know what I can leave off or what VMWare needs. Let me know if you can...please!!!

    Have any of you doomsayers actually used VPC? It's utter crap compared to any version that VMWare puts out. The interface is horrible, the features are small, and the performance is bad...don't forget, you have to run IIS to use it properly, so now you also have more load and more security to worry about. And given they don't have linux support as a host os VMWare will never go away, even if M$ manages to pull ahead in overall market share. The company that is behind VMWare is no small fries either...EMC. They own all kinds of other companies that offer high-end solutions.

    Right here...I own my own business. We are an onsite computer repair company, and while it may not be physical theft, it's still theft. Customers call me all the time saying they didn't do anything but it's broke again. And here's the key...I have a choice. I can tell them to go take a hike, or I can offer to help them for free knowing full well I shouldn't. If I tell them to take a hike, he tells more people that and more learn of my 'evil' ways and soon I'm out of a lot of clients. If I decide to help for free, well I might waste some time that I could have spent doing something else...but if they are happy when I'm done then they spread the word, and now I have more clients.

    It's simple business practices...something you obviously don't get. You are never going to get rid of theft or stupid people. But there are ways to limit them without alienating everyone else.

    You say it's theft that causes the CD price to be so high...well, that's been debated for ever and day. Some would say the reason of theft is because they are so costly that you can't actually buy them, so you're left with stealing. And we all know that more than 80% of the profits don't go to who it should.

    And what, we should let Sony skate on everything, just cause they made a mistake. Mistakes are necessary, and it sucks when they happen to you. But if you don't get enough incentive to not make the mistake twice...well, then happens again. You make them, learn why you made them and how you can not make them again, then you own up to whatever damage you made because of it. Opps! I mistakenly jabbed my pencil into your eye...I'm sorry, please don't arrest me! Yeah...right.

    It's ideas like this that allow corporations to continue to piss on everyone and get away with it. I'm not saying we need to dismemeber Sony, but hell yeah lets get some money from them and make them think twice before they try something stupid again. And how long until the next company makes a mistake that does effect you...wouldn't you rather circumvent that by facing the issue early on instead of when it's at your front door?
