It's probably not in your path. Try typing in ./usr/local/vmware/vmware If that starts (which it should), you can make an appropriate application icon for it on your desktop or whereever you like.

Speaking of things that look interesting. And it's from Asus. I feel unclean.

Alcohol, the cause of and solution to all my problems. -- H. Simpson And yes, that was a depressing read. And no, I don't know what to do about it either.

Try typing "vmware" at a prompt?

It's a i945 chipset instead of an i965, which probably has some kind of ramifications for memory bandwidth or supported frequencies or something, but it still looks vanilla to me. In fact, it's a little less than vanilla. It's cream-flavor or something, since it doesn't have any IDE support...

Greg: I haven't changed my mind. Someone who complains about a fast dialup connection being slow is like someone who complains that he is poor despite a six-figure income. That person is worthy of contempt. Clocker: Send me a hard drive and I'll fill it up for you. Any size you like. Your pick...

Howell is a guy. I have also spoken to him. I'm not sure what brought the current reaction on. I looked at the picture in question and judged it both safe and tasteful for its intended purpose, even posted as an in-line image. I pass things that are more objectionable that're on 30-foot-long...

That looks like a very vanilla motherboard to me. That's the standard feature set for current intel chipsets as far as I can see.

Or he could've PM'd me to let me know he doesn't like pictures of healthy and fully clothed young women. It's a picture hosted on my site. I could remove it. Whatever.

In another thread I mentioned an iRiver FM transmitter that works with anything that has a headphone jack. Of the various mp3 player to FM devices I've seen, it's the nicest.

Asus is having *serious* issues with different BIOS revisions and Core 2 Duo support. Fanboys are having to buy a Celeron so they can flash their BIOS, or they can send their motherboards back to Asus along with a check for $20, to get a proper BIOS for the new processors. That kind of shit is...

Enterprise backup products have been doing full-system backups for as long as I can remember. Of course, back in the days of DOS/Netware, or on a Unix system it's probably a little bit easier. :) Anyway, the latest build of TrueImage Workstation, 3718, includes the option to store the Bootable...

There's always Soltek, I guess. :(

My Pictures from Wizard World I'm still putting comments on them but about half have some kind of explanation. I wasn't there to take pictures but I did it when the thought occurred. My favorite "wish I'd had the camera out" moment: Pretty young woman, maybe 20 years old, leaning down to flip...

That's the other pictures. ;) Er, anyway, I'd like to suggest that the conjoined companies be known by the most obvious of names: Assabyte.

This made me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership presumably makes up for that.

I haven't gotten anything, either. Also, Stereodude, I have 4 4-port and one 12-port 3ware PATA cards. I know exactly what you mean about wanting more PATA drives.

Please pass the mind-bleach. Thank you for sharing that beautiful mental image, ddrueding. Here's something happier to replace it. Now that we're all feeling better... I've heard legends that in the distant past, Asus did not entirely suck. Perhaps it will return to the ways of its...

The Merchants of Cool, a PBS special on the marketing machine the recording industry uses to turn idiot teenagers who like bad music into sheep who buy bad music. Also, I was comic-conventioning all weekend. This year I have pictures. I will post some of them shortly.

The only news about WD that I want to hear involves multiple convictions and land sown with salt.

To give an honest answer: Blue or White LEDs are both horribly bright. Obnoxiously bright. I tend to put electrical tape over blue LEDs when I find them. I'll leave the matter of whether or not they are truly pimptastic to the scholars. As far as PCs go: The end of the year might bring...

I suggest sticking with the Windows XP firewall for XP users. NIS, Zonealarm etc are obnoxious and easy to misconfigure, and in some case have moronic default configuration anyway (e.g. McAfee's firewall, which blocks SMB file/printer sharing by default). The one that comes with Windows works...

So basically, AC3-encoded material (guessing you're playing AC3-encoded stuff in both) is going out your center channel, but nothing is going out your rear channel in that case? And Wave sounds are being played "right" with rear channel stuff going out the rear channels? If you switch your...

The wikipedia page summarizes some of the concerns about the tool.

Battlemech :D

Interesting thing to note, regarding brands we love etc. About two years ago, Newegg stopped providing warranty service for motherboards it sold. Bad move; I started buying motherboards other places and so did a lot of other people. Just today I notice that Newegg has largely shifted back...

No. The Envy is totally different from the xPlosion (which uses a C-Media chip). The Envy driver package includes some jack-sensing software that IIRC allows you to reassign which plug goes to which hardware function. Don't you have that installed?

Fark.com Photoshop Contest: Real Life versions of Far Side cartoons. I like the "Beware of Doug" one.

I'm not filing an insurance claim to cover *dents*.

My car got nailed by a couple downed tree branches after the thunderstorms that passed through the area last night; my new car has two dents the size of softballs in the hood. >:( I'd be even more pissed, but there was basically a whole tree about 18 inches from the passenger side of my car as...

Perhaps it's a matter of my ongoing dislike of things Debian.

This would be in addition to other employment opportunities. Volunteering. There is a need for newer equipment. I'm not talking about the BS upgrade cycle that most businesses are in, but the honest reality of dealing with nothing but seven or eight year old PCs. They don't have internet access...

XP64 uses the same kernel as Server 2003, a newer one than 32-bit XP uses. I've stated before that Server 2003 feels about 10% faster than XP, and that's probably what you're seeing, Bozo. I've had 64-bit Linux for a while. Side by side (well, co-mingled X sessions, anyway) with 32 bit Linux, I...

I can throw it up on my server if you'd like, mubs. It's a 130MB download. VMware server is more or less the same as Workstation, only better, because you can close the session window and leave the guest running, and if you have the client tools installed, you can remotely connect to the guest...

Google Images is never enough.

Balance the size of the driver database against the system install time when Windows 2000 or Windows XP first came out, against the improvements of today's hardware. If the hardware is worth your time to work on, I'll bet it's still faster than the install-time estimates by at least 15 minutes.

Personally I can't stand Ubuntu. I'm willing to sudo lots of things, but there are times when I want to be logged in as root so I'm not constantly prompted for credentials. I'm not going to bitch about having to continuously re-enter a password when using Vista, then turn around and say "But I'm...

Hookers and blow!

Actually, VMware Server is free now. You can install it on 2000 or XP or Linux and do whatever you want with it. Basically, once it's installed, you can just treat the VM session just like another PC and load whatever the heck you want in it. Buck, were you working with WINE or with Crossover...

I might've believed a drive geometry problem would cause those difficulties. In 1994. Go Compaq!

Naw. I tend to hit nude.hu, babes.coolios.net or kindgirls.com for my porn fixes. :P

I had the pleasure today of needing to do an emergency mass-hardware replacement on a Server 2003 machine. The machine was a whitebox server built by one of the local screwdriver shops, but it was a Windows Server 2003 with some kind of business-critical database running on it. The PC was a...

My oldest brother SWEARS by similar devices. He gives them out to family members as birthday presents and the like. I've had them. I don't think they're that useful or helpful. On the other hand, I sleep with a full (but nearly silent) desktop PC about about 15 inches from my head at night and...

The funny thing is, I've been to #1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 before for legitimate reasons...

A couple of weeks ago I did a quick and dirty "data recovery" job for the local women's shelter. No charge; it was only about 5 minutes of work restoring the data off a ZIP disk that someone accidently formatted. After I fixed the disk, I spent 10 minutes showing the lady who brought me the...

LunarMist, Patron Saint of Dialup.

You might as well put as much stuff as possible on the install disc. You never know what you're going to run into out in the world, and I certainly do hate having to go looking for that RTL8139 or Agere WinModem driver for the hundred-millionth time.

You might try booting the recovery console and issuing the usual fixmbr and fixboot commands.
