POPSVirtualization - Sun's many flavors I think Sun has something interesting here. A huge x86 server (I think the biggest they have is an 8 socket, 4cores AMD box = 32 cores) running Solaris (of OpenSolaris) apps at full speed, running on Solaris containers for different users, and running other OSs on each container with virtualbox, on a CIA/DHS/DOD level secure environment.

POPSIntuit TurboTax or Turbo JUNK I have been trying to do an E-File on my Federal and State tax for 5 hours. Intuit has really screwed up this time. They manage to get worst and worst every year, unbelievable. I will certainly migrate to something else. Please spread the word about this....

POPSGetting Unlisted in the Information Age I was surprised when I found my full name and address on an internet search engine. I then checked my records with AT&T and confirmed that I have only my partial name and phone number on AT&T listing. I wonder why when I go to yellowpages.com white page, that is part of AT&T group and I can still find that info there. People that have similar problems should get together on a class action against AT&T.

POPSA Lost Forest - The Atlantic Forest Many know about the Amazon Rain Forest in Brazil but there is another Forest that has only 8% of it left. If you go to Rio or Sao Paulo you would not believe they still have a forest nearby but close to the mountains there is still some areas almost intact, not sure until when. São Paulo, with its 18 million inhabitants, is the world’s fourth largest urban agglomeration. In 1994, the 1.5 million-hectare São Paulo City Green Belt Reserve was established as part of the UNESCO Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve but the last time I checked that green belt I found only a small area still left. It is called "Reserva do Morro Grande". You can see it here http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/78/1140/1600/CVSP-RMG.jpg or here http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=sao+paulo,+brazil&ie=UTF8&ll=-23.53,-46.630001&spn=0.837302,1.716614&t=h&om=1
