No More Bush!!!

/me dances a jig.

Yes, Obama has a metric fuckton of work ahead to make a dent in the damage done by the last 30 years of conservative crap.

Requiring a Windows only tool (VMware Infrastructure Client) to manage an otherwise Linux-only server virtualization system is like requiring a pig to lead a procession of Arabian show horses. Epic fail.

Please develop a client based on Java, not Active (he)X, that runs on nearly any OS, not just frigging Windows. The actual virtualization platform is based on RHEL 3, why can't you make a client that runs on Mac and Linux as well?

If I were deciding what virtualization software to run on my network, you would lose the bid because of this, no matter how good the rest of your stuff was.

I seldom log in to my windoze box here at work. I hate it. If I try to run remote desktop to it, it bogs down my real, Linux computer. Can you say Do Not Want!?

Vegas man accused of chaining daughter to bed for being overweight

He felt she was overweight. So he beats her, locks the fridge and the pantry, then chains her to the bed for supposedly sneaking food into her room. I bet he drinks a six-pack a day, along with cheap junk and such.

* If a kid feels that she (and it's usually a girl) has to "steal" food from the pantry or sneak food into her room, then her parents have failed, and she will have issues around food for life.
* When parents are obsessed with diets and weight, both theirs and hers, and pass over what she eats for "how much" they think she eats, the kid will lose, and end up both fat and malnourished.
* When parents put kids on diets and "systems" because the parents themselves are fat and they control the food in the house, then the parents cheat while ignoring the hunger of the kids? Kiss that kid's health, self esteem and good relationship with food goodbye.

When a kid is a teenager, the time for enforced diets and teaching healthy eating by parental dictate is long gone. No matter what they try, if the teen doesn't buy in, it will backfire, and make things worse.
