I decided to actually go all out and test to see how well my blog here would run on a virtual machine. I started by downloading VMWare Server (Free), and then grabbed a VMWare Appliance from their “Virtual Appliance Marketplace” that provides a nice, minimally sized LAMP server… I picked up one simply... »
I recently ran across a “new” (to me) virtualization software that is very similar in function to VMWare workstation. I downloaded Innotek’s Virtual Box software, which quickly and painlessly installed, seeming to be a little faster to install than VMWare and MUCH less bloated… The entire self-extracting install is only 13.3 mb. I restarted... »
A friend of mine, Mircat, sent me this link over at HotAir that I felt compelled to re-post. Gave me the chills in parts. »
PLEASE PASS THIS ‘REFRESHER’ ON TO AT LEAST 10 FREE CITIZENS, ALSO TO ANY MISGUIDED PEOPLE WHO MAY THINK GUN CONTROL IS THE ANSWER. With the recent VT shooting and the Dems still sore about the “Assault Weapons Ban” sunsetting in 2004, they are going to be preparing an all-out assault on the second amendment... »
As the Supreme Court recognized in Roe v. Wade in 1973, this issue is complex and highly personal; the rights and lives of women must be taken into account.

Many worried Afghan mobile phone users called family and friends, warning them not to answer calls from strange... »

I have a Thumbdrive, a 4gb Lexar Firefly. It’s performance has always been marginal. Much slower than the rest of my smaller drives… I figured it might be due to the larger size and lived with it. Some computers seemed to read/write to it a little faster than others, but it wasn’t a huge... »
Linux isn’t as hard as it looks to do some cool things… This server was down earlier today due to, I believe, a power outage. Even though the server has pretty massive battery backups, I think the momentary kick over to battery might have caused it to poop out. In any case, the server issues made me... »
I downloaded Ubuntu 7.04, the “Feisty Fawn” the other day, installed it on my spare 40gb drive, as usual, and booted it up.
