  1. Re:I use VMWare ESX Server.. on TurboTax DRM Writes to Your Boot Sector?! · · Score: 1

    You own ESX Server legally? You personally own it legally?
    Dang...you must be really rich...or does VMware have some deal for individual users for ESX Server?

  2. Re:So what? on Crack Windows XP With... Windows 2000 · · Score: 1

    'linux single'.....hmmm...yeah, but only on Feb. 14th. :p

  3. Compressed Air on Finally, A Working NES! · · Score: 1

    Would using compressed air work better than blowing on the cartridge?

  4. Re:Mutant and Mobile on Intel Announces New, Slower, Chip · · Score: 1

    I own a Vaio PCG-C1VN Picturebook with a Transmeta TM5600 600 MHz CPU. I live in North America. I bought it at my local CompUSA as a "PDAs don't have HDDs or keyboards, so this is the smallest thing that does" device.

  5. Re:Resisting ... urge ... to comment ... on Plex86 Lives, As Lightweight VM Technology · · Score: 1

    When are you guys going to add generic VESA support to VMware Workstation?
    I've got a lot of obscure x86 OSes in my archives that I've been itching to boot...and Workstation would be perfect if I knew it was all generic hardware (I played with an evaluation a while back and noticed that no generic VESA support was its biggest lacking - otherwise I would all but be set to get a copy and finally boot my OS collection.)

  6. Re:Portability? on Plex86 Lives, As Lightweight VM Technology · · Score: 1

    You're mistaken...VMware uses a device driver.

    VMware ESX Server is an OS in itself, though, so it doesn't need one. :P

  7. Re:Lets patent the patent process! on NCR Patents the Internet · · Score: 1

    But think of all the prior art!

  8. Re:Gui configuration tools? on Samba-TNG Team Releases 0.3 · · Score: 1

    So does that mean you need WINE and a NT 4 CD to extract the tools from?

  9. Re:We've never seen this behavior from MS before.. on Microsoft Applies For .NET Patent · · Score: 1

    Actually, it makes sense....what if that "key" were a digital certificate...say the one in Palladium? What if this is part of a means of inducing people to upgrade their hardware?

  10. Re:What is the yield problem caused by? on Rumors of a GeForceFX 5800 Ultra Cancelation? · · Score: 1

    I heard that the FX 5800 Ultra wasn't on low-K dielectric - and that's why they needed the absurd fan.

    (I know nothing about chip fabrication, so I could have all my details backwards for all I know. I'm just going on what I recall hearing somewhere.)

  11. Re:reminds me of a story... on Castle Technology UK Ripping off Kernel Code? · · Score: 1

    I think it was MSFT and one of the DOS companies...DR-DOS (their maker), mabye.

  12. Re:Doing it legally on Quickly Filling Up 150GB of Legal Media Files? · · Score: 1

    Destroy the key and nail 'em under the DMCA for trying to crack your crypto! :p

    (Ok, ok, I'll go now)

  13. Re:Bruce, put this one in your doghouse listing on The Always-Encrypted Firewire Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly, the salt value may be your password - that's why you lose your encrypted files if you forcibly change your password and forget to decrypt them beforehand.

  14. Re:usb keys on The Always-Encrypted Firewire Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Just get another larger capacity one...use the smaller one exclusively for logging in and the larger one for data. That's the only totally secure way to do it.

  15. Re:The really interesting thing on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 1

    Didn't the Apollo 1 fire happen this week too, 19 or so years before the Challenger?

  16. Re:Advice for the dorm-dwellers on Sony to Stop Producing Smaller CRTs · · Score: 1

    Show me a sub-$3000 LCD that does 2048*1536. /me likes his SGI GDM-4011P.

  17. Re:No conceivable privacy implications... on Michelin to Include RFID Transmitter in Every Tire · · Score: 1

    That should be (less than) 2 meters. Slashcode ate the less than symbol.

  18. Re:No conceivable privacy implications... on Michelin to Include RFID Transmitter in Every Tire · · Score: 1

    The highway is usually 2 meters from the tire.

  19. Re:WHY WHY WHY WHY??Pic included on Nvidia Talks About Next-Gen Geforce, Plus Pics · · Score: 1

    Well, on my old MSI-6330 mobo, my top slot was my GF4 Ti4600.
    On my Gigabyte GA-7VAX, I now have the free top slot like that picture.

  20. Re:Question 10 reply on AMI Guy Talks About TCPA, Palladium, and Other BIOS Issues · · Score: 1

    Given the availability of large FlashROM chips (16 MB and up), wouldn't it be possible to use an OS like QNX as well? You could practically have a true diskless solution then....all in the BIOS.

  21. Re:Would this work? on Hyper-Threading Speeds Linux · · Score: 1

    See VMware ESX Server.
    It may do what you want, but it's absurdly priced.
    I don't know of any free solutions.
