  1. Take it a step further on Viiv 1.5 May End Traditional Media PCs · · Score: 1

    Make a box I can hook up to my broadband connection to stream content. Make it cheap. And make it ubiquitous.

    Separate big media from my PC (and everyone elses'), and I'll be forever grateful.

    Not only that, but it works!

    I'm posting this from FireFox 1.0.7 running on Windows 95 4.00.950 (heh. it was on a bet... and the smallest image I had lying around) from within a VMware Player instance running on Suse Linux 9.3 Pro. At 1024x768 resolution with good graphics.

    Had a little trouble with compiling the VMware kernel modules, but it was a quick fix.

    Oh, and my mouse wheel doesn't work... :-)

    True... but they could grab the tools .iso files from the evaluation version of VMWare Workstation.

    Performance is also okay without tools on X.

    Creating the file may be difficult, but it doesn't sound like anything prevents booting a CD inside the VM and reformatting/reinstalling whatever OS you want inside.

    So, just grab a pre-built VM image that's big enough and do your thing...

  5. This is cool on VMWare Inc. Releases Free Virtual Machine Runtime · · Score: 1

    Go away cynics. This is awesome.

    I run into so many clueless tech support people that I've just been dying to send a VM to. Now I can. This is sweet!

    Also, I have the win32 version of VMWare 5, but not the Linux version... like I said, sweet!

    After hours quote?

    I've seen quotes like that before, usually during after-hours trading. It means the stock is very illiquid, and the market-maker doesn't want to be bothered.
