Q and A Tangents 1 - Articles I'm reading answering questions i'm questioning

Q and A Tangents 1

I believe You should always be learning.  So I read alot of technical articles to answer questions which usually inspire other questions about the stuff I'm working on.  I thought I might write blog posts about questions I've thought up that I get answered from other's posts about what I'm working on.  Unfortunately this will probably lead to more questions so I'll come back to those topics later on. Hopefully this inspires some conversation in the comments section. Maybe if someone sees my unanswered questions they'll answer in a comment or disagree with an answer I have. I may link a post in the question that inspired the question as well.

This is to mimic the hardware review sites I read that kind of aggregate other peoples reviews at the end of their daily posts.  Need to figure out how they do that.  TODO

Q: Can a dell r515 use an amd Opteron 43xx processor? Half the support files only mention 4300.  All mention 4200 and 4100.  Is this a function of being a release II (2) version?

Creating a virtual machine (vm) on ESXi 5.5 for Windows Server 2012 (Part 1)

To make a new vm, you first need to left click on the Host we want to add a virtual machine to.  For us since we only have 1 host that's easy and 192.168.1.102 down below.  When you're managing many machines you'll have to select where you want the virtual machine to be stored.

Clicking the host changes the Inventory drop down to allow Host to be selected.  We can then Select New Virtual machine.  You can click anything that's Highlighted and has a red arrow. You can also right click on the host itself to bring up a duplicate window being shown.

TL;DR control+n for new vm

Adding a Gadget for a Twitter feed to Blogger by creating a Twitter Widget.

So I really wanted to add a a list of of the posts in #sqlhelp into this website. SQLhelp twitter feed will server 2 purposes:
1. It's a great resource when you have questions and you can stay update only checking it a few times a day.
2. It has one of the lowest overheads to submitting a question. StackExchange is fantastic for depth, but 140 characters makes you focus down your question down.

However, this procedure ended up being a little user unfriendly after an update to twitter's widget system. This post walks you through getting a twitter feed for almost anything into your blogger post that works with https.  So lets get started.
