--See, this is one of the problems with Closed Source. I recommend to the "average home user" to get the heck off NTFS and convert back to Fat32, especially if you're using multiple operating systems (like linux.) All you need to do is use partimage or even tar.
--That's exactly what I'm doing now - running the Knoppix DVD install under vmware 3.x with the kernel upgraded to 2.6-test*. I just want to know when vmware will be ready for 2.6 on the host.
--That's all FWAG, but where did you hear about knihovny's site - and why should I trust their software? This is a serious question, I'm an actual vmware user. Why hasn't vmware released 2.6-ready official updates?
--I believe the site you are talking about is this, is it not? Correct me if I'm wrong. (I'm posting this because I didn't know about it before, and got nowhere trying www.arin.com.)
--I've emailed Warren back and forth with suggestions, and even a utility script or two. He's a **really** nice guy, and both his response time and willingness to consider/act on suggestions are simply outstanding. I actually wish he was hiring, I'd go to work for him in a heartbeat.
--Y'know, this is a case where your vaunted "education" really kills the ENTERTAINMENT value of a movie. I thoroughly enjoy Armageddon every time I see it, because -IT'S A MOVIE- and I try not to read into it too much. Yeah, I recognized the "Mir gravity" as unrealistic, but it didn't get in the way. They did a great job on the plot and visual effects. I even got emotional over Liv Tyler's scene with her dad making the heroic sacrifice.
--Cut them some slack, at least it wasn't as bad as Battlestar Galactica. (And if you lower your expectations, you could probably enjoy even that, too.)
--You could pick apart the whole LOTR trilogy too, if you wanted to; but personally I figure it's better to just sit back and try to enjoy the ride. Don't over-analyze everything.
--People are just getting too "sophisticated" these days. Everybody's got their nose up in the air and we all walk around thinking how well-educated and how great we all are. Yeah, we've "sophisticated" ourselves right out of a good imagination and we can't enjoy anything anymore. And Hollywood keeps making crappy movies because idiots keep paying to see it.
--All our base are belong to India while stupid people over here work 12+ hour days, when more people should be hired to spread the work around. No wonder the economy is so damn bad.
--I think the key here, is to set reasonable expectations. They should have specified the freebie was a one-time thing, so ppl wouldn't "expect" it in the future.
--I liked all 3 Matrix movies. Ok, there were some parts like Trinity's final scene that could have been cut + rewritten a little, but on the whole I really enjoyed it. Even teared up near the end.

--If you have any hope of wanting it to WORK again, file a bug report.
--What did you end up doing? You should still be able to attach a kbd directly to the box...
--Hey now, I liked it. It was really easy to understand, given that I once had to do Cobol flowcharting. (shudder)
--I think the key here, is to set reasonable expectations. They should have specified the freebie was a one-time thing, so ppl wouldn't "expect" it in the future.
--Uh, that's no GENTLEMAN... That's just f--ked up.
--I wonder why they don't develop cable-fixing submarines, then.
--NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!

--Thanx for that "reminder" link - oddly enough, it's been on my mind lately. Probably due to a "Bob 'n Ed" cartoon reference a few weeks ago.
