What Are You Doing Right Now

I'm a bit too young to have real experience with the old systems, but I had at least my hands on a IBM VMS and a HP3000/947. Always fun to see ppl thinking x86 was the beginning of everything.
-
Not to mention that Java was a VM implementation and was on x86 and significantly predated VMware. People were very used to VMs on x86 by the time that VMware started up because of that alone.

True, but most of them just didn't know.

Looking at some timelines, Microsoft and Sun both significantly beat VMware to market and it looks like Xen might actually predate it as well. VMware's only claim to fame is a famous patent that came after pretty much every major player was already in the space, some with multiple products.
I had no idea that someone had a full x86 virtualization product even in 1985. VMware actually did way less than I had thought. Looking at the info on virtualization over the years, VMware actually seems to be totally irrelevant, or nearly so. If they disappeared, who would even notice?
-
Simplivity even used the term "The concept of VMware ..."
Seriously. Talk about marketing drivel.

Our "internal" reporting on traffic has us as 93,500 views a day right now! That's crazy. And that's only a fraction of what CloudFlare sees. But for traffic being reported by the platform, this is a daily record (right up there with yesterday's traffic.)

Truck shopping this afternoon. Trying to find a 01-07 GMC 1500 4x4 ext cab, preferably offroad package z71.

Someone described "him" as:
"A vociferous wind bag complete with dead squirrel"
I enjoyed this. No points for guessing whom it refers to.

Depends on which nightmare to which you are referring...

Only in Australia do they get literally enraged over "deconstructed coffee" as if it is 1) new or 2) special or 3) weird. This is just how coffee is served in much of Europe and always has been. I've had at least three of these this week.

Only it's just called... coffee.
Don't mess with our coffee. We know how we like it.

I think that most people would say "How can you be a millennial if you are working?"
