    Virtualizing Existing Desktop, Successfully!

    Well that is something. I look forward to seeing your guide. I have to say with Linux this isn't much of a problem because the /home partition is separate and you can upgrade to a new computer and reinstall the OS without losing everything. You do have to install all your programs again but...

    ICC Cricket WorldCup 2015

    It's going to be either Australia or New Zealand this year. I think NZ is more likely which would be about time for them since they keep going to semi finals and then crashing out. India unfortunately lacks bowlers. The conditions are not favourable to sub-continent teams.

    I don't know why everyone on the web keeps saying this only affects Windows users. It does affect linux users as well.

    Employee owned business?

It motivated them to think short term so that the stock price would go up and they could make money that way. That is why they took undue risk and started lending to people who couldn't pay...

    Shell scripting 101

    If you go through that tldp guide you'll see that there are like 5 different types of if statements in bash. What evaluates to true or false also varies. Sometimes 1 is a true and sometimes it is a false depending on the construct you use. It's confusing as hell.

    Hosting Providers & BTC

    Merchants are not affected by the exchange rate because bitpay, coinbase, btcchina etc. all offer to process payments for you and eat the exchange rate risk. You get paid in your choice of fiat currency. Not enough consumers use it is the most accurate answer. Bitcoin adoption among merchants...
