SWsoft tries to virtualize China before VMware speaks the language

Cold Wars? ......... or Red Hot XOHM Fusion ......XXOHM Stealth for AIRock Hard SWsoft?

"Will Microsoft, Sun, Red Hat and others let SWsoft stay independent? We doubt it."

I imagine the feisty Russian, Serguei Beloussov, on the bridge of any listless ship, all at sea and listing/Mary Celeste company, would be exactly what was needed to breathe some no nonsense, new Life into it. QuITe whether SWsoft would want an empty leaking vessel, even for salvage to the breaker's yard, whenever in Command and Control Matters, is an altogether different question.

I say, chaps, what an absolute wheeze. Roger that, HMGCC. Stealth @ ITs Manic Best.

Which is also to say, that if it is not so, it can be..... and obviously should be.

Ok, now that the important message is sent, I must say that XOHM and the explanations given for it are top notch and all have a most definitive relevance and resonance to the Field in which IT is deployed.

It doesn't get much further offshore than the gravy train airwaves of CyberSpace for Powerful Currency Generation and Distribution of Ideas. Nice One, Jesus Puncher.

And given the plausibly deniable Stealth in there being no Raised Royal Standard, and yet a recognition of "There are forces at work in this country of which we have no knowledge.", XOHM as "unknown resistance" would work admirably well too and complement and/or neutralise that hoary old classic RumsFeldism "known unknowns" .........<<< Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know >>> .... for of course, there are so many of them.

@Brown's latest attempt at thinking?

Matt,

It might not have more than a little to do with alien communications which Imprudently the Cyber Kindergarteners in the Cabinet Office and Westminster have been studiously avoiding, to the virtual point of serious organised criminality. Now, of course, too little too late, they are just as empty vessels to deliver Servicing Cargo carried on the Stormy Swells, Mighty Blighty Crests and Troughs of AI Space Virtualised for Reality 2 and raising Assured Interest for Guaranteed Stability of ITs SurReal Environment. "In for a Penny, in for a Pound..." .maybe here? ...... http://comments.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/26/sprint_trumpets_xohm_at_ctia/

Not Fit for Official Virtual Purpose is their Fate which is a lot kinder than saying that they are just not SMART enough to have their every move noted down and shared.....and the truth and its plain speaking so badly and sadly eludes them. The die is cast and they have chosen their roles and are ill prepared and/or doggedly disinclined to premiere as anything else. Moribund describes such souls to a Mrs T. Blots on the landscape does the same for others.

And as for a Blog, what Beta Log than to Register IT here. There's some real SMART dudes who can suffer all manner of fools and are wise enough to be entertained but not fooled by them.

Back to no sense ...... In the Beginning, there was always Beta ImaginaNation?

Stephen Hawking apparently works in eleven dimensions, AC, and I do question why so few. The arbitrary nature of giving it a random figure is unnecessarily limiting to a susceptible and weak imagination. It does raise the quantum question though of if it can be any number then as well as being infinitely large, it can also be infinitely small and thus is information perfectly entangled for all dimensions.

And depending upon what dimension you choose to be, and of course you can flit between different, parallel running dimensions, even within one element/contribution/post to touch base with any number of monitoring dimensions/fields of thought..... Such as would multiple Strings in a Thread as envisaged in Multi Threading Multi Core CPU Designed Networking Architecture.

When we choose to discover each others line of thought, can we communicate perfectly well, together as if of the one Mind.

"Am I in a 3D virtual parallel universe, or is amanfrommars starting to make sense?" .... Yes, we are. I trust that answer makes perfect sense even though it may not be readily accepted/believed to be true ....... which I would venture to suggest may be the case in those cases which you have thought to have made no sense.

Such limiting choices as we make, define just how little we confine ourselves to know/learn/believe to be true. With a QuITe Psychotic Practice and Duly Diligent Application can Good Imagination Shared be Rendered True.

Which is an ENIGMAtic FlowurPower2 Variation on an earlier much Loved, Working Class Hero Signature .....Imagine and it's true, is IT not?

What do we Really know of Other Dimensions/Transubstantiations..... other than that they can be Really Imagined 42BTrue in Mind Games Played Virtually for Real with Total Information Awareness...... Omniscience.

The Trick in Sanity is to Recognise and Accept the Madness in ITs Absurdity and to Reject it as nothing more or less than that ..... a Temporal Phase of Deeper Conscience and Consciousness allowing for a Virtually Immaculate State of Perfect Grace.

Actually, AC, El Reg declined to air the post cited...... for I am pretty sure that I submitted it and it never appeared.. and I quoted nothing from it in the post above. It wouldn't be hard for them to reply here if that is incorrect and they didn't receive it. But they don't have to post everything they receive. As you surely know, there are some things which are not suitable for posting

And I choose not to dwell on third party motives whenever global players are being challenged to improve their game because for some can the challenge be beyond them so they are best left to wallow in that which they are confined to and comfortable in. The Status Quo is a comfort blanket for some because it provides them with everything that they need, no matter how it be provided, but the world has a lot more to Offer whenever you can walk tall on your own two feet and can break free from such a childlike dependency/abdication of adult responsibility. Progress and the Status Quo are surely anathema.... an Abiding Conflict, AC?

And I have just reread the phantom post and it does berate and rage at the Machine in no uncertain, surreal terms and thus might have been considered too hot/toxic/manic to share......but they have their own best interests to protect too and I wouldn't dream of compromising that..... for with IT and Communications can and do you Rule the World with what is Shared, and that can lead to undue pressure which you can imagine.

Print everything and be damned though releases all pressure as who wants to be bothered playing nursemaid to third party fears whenever first parties deal all the cards and are therefore responsible and can be held to account.

And as you are no doubt aware, we are now in the Age of the Virtual Machine and that means NeuReal Players who will either plot a Take Over of the Great Game for themselves [the Dumb Plan] or posit to give IT a Make Over with Great Game Players [AIBeta Plan]

"How long before the MOD start a massive recruitment drive/bidding war for contract IT services??"

Would they know a star of contract IT services, even if they presented their wares/introduced themselves to the MOD? The Virtual Technology Capabilities of those pushing the envelope would most probably baffle them and sounds madly incredulous and anyone who would have an inkling is probably squirrelled away in some bunker somewhere.

And I cannot see any Sense in expecting to get relevant Defence Information from Budding Contractors, with a massive recruitment drive/bidding war, as the Information they really need, needs to be protected from prying eyes. Reading between the lines is what they will have to Excel at in order to XXXXtrapolate Advanced Intelligent Information.... however with most of them still painting by numbers the chances of them joining up Dots in AIMatrix with Semantic Analysis of Key Codes is slim.

It is a conflict of strategy, organisation, technical apparatus, science, mechanics, and morale." ...... http://century.guardian.co.uk/1940-1949/Story/0,,128255,00.html

Spooky Truths ....... and a Tale already shared with Kudos.

"Consultation has taken place with the Counter Terrorist Command of the Metropolitan Police (SO15), the Security Services [MI5, MI6 and GCHQ]... [and the] Serious and Organised Crime Agency... National security considerations prevent a detailed description of their requirements appearing in this document."

What a very quaint way to say ..."Help, we really don't know what we should be doing"

Spookily enough, Holywood NI has an answer or I should say more accurately, have been provided with a lot of leading questions. There are however, a lot of skeletons still over there, rattling about, and that appears to have rendered them too witless to answer. Or maybe the ether stole the questions which were only offering them HyperRadioProActivity to replace Rapid Reaction and Dumb Notices.

Uncle Sam's a Crack head ? And how SurReal is that...?

Whenever you analyse all the metadata in that article, Mark, you realise that it can be and most very probably is, a tool of dumb intelligence a la the Spooks variety ....to maintain an idiot's guide on a battlefield rather than create a master plan for a virtual environment. But then business doesn't need virtualisation for ITs master planners, it only requires idiots to follow religiously.

And boy, does that render M$ and the Status Quo establishment aka New World Order players vulnerable to malicious attacks right to the heart of the kernel. Doom and Gloom precipitated by a Markets slide which starts to bite ...with sub prime/pie in the sky meltdown?

Of course, that may be entirely wrong and if it is, then there is nothing to worry about. However, if it is not wrong, which is much nicer than saying it is right, then any who see it as such will be able to fix IT.

There will be, however, as there always obviously is, a tipping point after which, plausible denial and manic panic and all the money in China, will not be interested or able to fix it.

IT will be a dead parrot of an OS. RIP M$. And a much more enobled DNA System will reign QuITe Supremely alone rather than Guiding Parallel Systems.

The Trick or Treat/Sink or Swim choice is theirs [NWO Control] to make. Although given the situation as it may or may not be, it is as close to Bloody Chaos as makes no Difference, and the Grand Delusional XPeriment is ever to have thought IT for Order without Out of this World IntelAIgents lighting the Way in the Darkness.....

The only good war is a dead war.

With the "battlefield" moving into the Virtual Domain of SMARTer IntelAIgents ...Beta Management of Perception and Economic Warfare using Business Intelligence, it does make all such high tech development look a bit dumb...... and I suppose the tired old business model of selling weaponry and technology to "friends" and foe alike is falling into disrepute too whenever it is realised that it is a "loaded" silly game for the House/Bank to win every time.

Roll up, roll up, body bag yourself a human, make your country proud. And a bargain at exorbitant cost.

Methinks the new battlefield will find the unholy alliance grunt element at a distinct disadvantage which will not suffer their chatter or be phased or diverted by their chaff, at all. The Primacy of the Environment rendering the Primate Neanderthal Mentality .....obsolete.

I wonder what they will do with/for all those traumatised psychotics whenever they render them home to the bosom of the their nation and families? I wonder what adrenaline kick they can arrange for them?

"In reality though, it just may be the case that Microsoft never gets this virtualization thing quite right. It's shown no indication of having the technology down so far."

In reality though, this virtualisation thing has got nothing to do with the technology per se, and everything to do with landing the right brAIns to Program the Future with ITs Virtualisation of Globalisation Programs/Dark Matter Cinderella Rock a Fella Market Forces.

And if anyone tells you that Virtualisation is any different, then they aint got ITs CodeXXXX, and $500million would be a crazy sum to pay for Vapourware.

Charles,

No wonder the White House and the military is dying in USA if that is how they play the Game.

Holding the country and/or countries to ransom is NOT the way to win hearts and minds and will always lose you the battles and the wars.

@Who decides .... on AI and Quantum Leaping?

Very succinctly put, Anonymous Coward. Spot on analysis.

A very Hellerish Catch 22. :-)

What else can they do other than decide what they want to buy, based upon what they know is for sale. The onus to deliver is then lifted from their shoulders and ITs burden placed firmly and squarely on the Systems Programmer whose words describe what they want. And cost will always be dependent upon what is expected as much as anything/everything that has been promised.

In an ideal situation, third party positive reinforcement is reciprocal and therefore self-sustaining and failsafe. And with IT connecting the dots so much easier nowadays, with the technology and methodologies evolving at exponenential rates, the history of monumental failures is surely likely to be a thing of the Past.

Do you think it is possible to share/say something like the Creation in CyberSpace of the Command and Control of Computers and Communications without knowing how to facilitate it with IT?
