    Microsoft was by far the largest corporate donor to political campaigns

    As a Texas resident, I'm glad to see this. If we can convince Governor Rick Perry (R) to extend this into more state agencies. I'll be extremely pleased.

  3. Re:I worry more now for the troops than before on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 1

    Since their leader has been caught they are going to try and free him by attacking more often. This events as the potenial to kill more soldiers.

    Sorry, but I did not opt in to read this.

    Yeah it basically crashes the system. I mention it because seeing things like killall httpd in shell scripts on linux.

    Don't issue a killall command on Solaris. You won't like what it does. :)

  9. Re:Hardware Support on Solaris 8 & 9 Free for x86 Once Again · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes, it works in VMware. It correctly detects the PCnet32 network card in vmware but not the video card. You have to do a text install (abort the x configuration) otherwise it will come up at 640x480 and the dialog boxes will be off the screen. Then use XFree86 to select the vmware video card. Other drivers are here:

    Sound drivers for onboard audio and pci sound blasters

    some usb devices

    Network drivers Solaris should autodetect the video in Microsoft Virtual PC because it uses an S3 TRIO32/64 chipset, but it uses a Tulip network chip, so you'll need the nic drivers above.

  11. Re:Darn! on DIY Cruise Missile Grounded · · Score: 1

    My mistake, I was thinking it was just below the line. Ok lets say Argentina. I mean why did they make such a big stink over the Falklands anyway?

    What do you think the C and M in ICBM stand for?

    It stands for Continental not Cruise. :) You could make a cruise missile that is not Intercontinental. Lets go blow up Utah rather than lets go blow up Nicaragua.

  13. Re:iMac on Top 10 Personal Computers, Revised · · Score: 1

    Yes I remember reading that you could put different roms in the SE/30 to add color support even though the video on board did not use it. Also IIRC there were color video cards that could run an external monitor.

    Do you mean that people don't use line printers any more???!!? Back in the good old days, (not really) we'd have the computer print the diffs of any files that ever changed on the system in real time!

  16. Crap on Dell To Techs: Don't Help Customers Remove Spyware · · Score: 1

    I recommend this stuff all day long at MS. It solves most all Windows issues oddly enough. It costs us money to take calls so I take pride in hitting them back by uninstalling it!

    Our call center is in Bangalore just like the Dell one. The company that runs it is called Convergys. I went to their website and they are "proud to be an ethnically diverse company" I guess that means they have Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims answering the phones.
