Q:

How can you tell if you are on physical or virtual hardware?

I don't trust my host as far as I can throw them. We are about to move, but I have got this nagging doubt that rather than being on the dedicated machine that we ordered I'm actually on a virtualised machine.
How would I go about proving this one way or the other? 

A:

For VMWare at least, either have a look at the network adapter type (it should say VMWare) or get the MAC address of the NIC and go here to look up the vendor.
