boot from USB inside of VMware

Great tip how-to boot from USB stick inside of VMware Workstation | ESX Virtualization.

Super-useful tip .. create a tiny VMWare image, install the bootloader (attach as floppy or something), and you can use it to boot an OS on a USB drive.

187 by a motorcycle cop

Several other drivers and I were startled to find a police man standing over his motorcycle in the right shoulder, facing traffic, pointing a radar gun at cars coming around the curve this morning. I’ve never seen such a thing before — it seems unnecessarily hostile. The first thing that springs to mind when you see someone in that stance is not, ‘hey, a police man’ but rather, ‘hey, a gunman’. Not conducive to safe traffic behavior.

Is it so imperative to threaten drivers into going sixty-five that it’s okay to nearly cause accidents? Going a bit faster than what the big sign says is pretty low on the list of violations of the social contract. Go do something useful, highway patrol man. Make it look like my tax dollars are doing something instead of paying you to stand on the freeway.

Eight ways the iPhone pwns the iPad

Eight ways the iPhone pwns the iPad.

Yeah, my phone makes calls and fits in my pocket. My car does not. Clearly the phone is better in every way possible.

Seriously, people, let’s quit bashing on the iPad for not doing things that it’s not designed to do. IPHONE SUCKS BECAUSE I CAN’T DRIVE IT TO WORK. Need I make a list detailing why my car is better than my iPhone? No, because it’s a retarded comparison. Much like iPad – iPhone comparisons. Different things, different uses. Apples to oranges.
