Because malevolent is too hard to say!
And you can't tell me the alien ain't CUTE!

"How stupid do you want them to think you are?"
Seek the power, find the Sock of Destiny!
The hostile team now consists of scads of
people hardly ever posting to this site! Of course that doesn't actually
equate to any more posts, it just ups the brownian motion of the
system a bit more.

- This application, "handle", may be the most useful windows tool I've used in a year.
If you are a unix type, you know "fuser". It tells you what files are in use by which user. This is the windows equivalent... and it is a nice one. It will search by partial file or executable name, will show the user's ID, and even lets you kill the file handle (rather than the entire misbehaving process. though I don't know why you'd ever do that, honestly... when was the last time you found a windows program that would gracefully deal with a file disappearing?).

- Solar powered keychain flashlight... the first real link I find when searching on that phrase says the same thing I thought when I first saw the thing. How does it charge when you have your keys in your pocket/purse all the time?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

- Child's Play is back in action for 2008. If you are looking for a worthy charity you can't do much better than helping sick kids in a hospital cool toys for Christmas... and all the rest of the year.

- It's a dangerous thing to fall asleep with your MP3s playing. I just woke up from one of my "destroy the world as we know it" dreams. You know the type. You're at the so-called mercy of some nebulous governmental shadow group and when they get through telling you how they are in control, you just smile and say something smart-ass and trigger your failsafes. Then, everyone gets to enjoy a nice soothing large scale flash-bang effect as various warheads that weren't properly secured beginning detonating, throwing radiation and particulates into the air.
The only problem with those dreams is that my face hurts from the grinning...

- Enabling SSH on a VMWare ESX 3i server.
- ALT-F1 to change to the main console.
- Type 'unsupported' and hit enter. (you will be blind-typing so be careful).
- When prompted, enter the root user's password.
- Type: vi /etc/inetd.conf
- Scroll down with the up and down arrow keys to the line that begins with #ssh
- Type a single "x" and it will delete the "#" in front of ssh.
- Type ':wq!' to write and exit. (that's Shift-semicolon)
- Type 'ps | grep inetd' to find the inetd process
- Send the hangup signal to the first number from step 10 (the process id) with: kill -s HUP <PID>
- You can now SSH into your ESXi server.
- Type "exit" and hit enter once to exit the shell you are in.
You can hit "Alt-F2" to get back to the normal VMWare server management screen.
I snagged this off this VMWare Communities thread and cleaned it up a bit. If you like "nano" as an editor you can use that too, I understand. It is easier than vi for most people.

- This election has been like a gay porno based on Chariots of Fire: everyone is a ass or a dick out to fuck the little guy and it is all just one big race to the bottom.

First five syllables
Then a new line with seven
Finally five more.
