I already have SSH access to the baremetal on the ESXi server: I downloaded the ISO and with 7zip could navigate and so I extracted the offline-bundle and INT-intel-lad-ddk-ixgbe-400.2.0.44.14.4-1.0.4.164009-offline_bun.zip was what I needed! Putting that on a web server on my network was super easy.
The command is from the SSH or TECHNICAL support console.
# esxupdate --bundle=http://web.server/INT-intel-lad-ddk-ixgbe-400.2.0.44.14.4-1.0.4.164009-offline_bun.zip update
Note the trailing update command!
# esxupdate --bundle=http://10.83.240.157/pdf/INT-intel-lad- ddk-ixgbe-400.2.0.44.14.4-1.0.4.164009-offline_bun.zip update

ok.
The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the
changes to be effective.
Here's a good buy on one:

Today the headset would not hold a charge so I opened it up the part is serviceable, and Part No. 65358-01 is carried by amazon:
The newest model is a CS70
I am privy to no inside info nor do I have contacts that have this information. What I intend to discuss today is the design and ecosystem for Apple's next product introduction.
In retrospect, the iPhone was a brilliant compromise of form and function with technical limitations, but what has cemented its lasting power is the vibrant application store and the developers that support the platform with nifty, innovatiove or just plain obvious functionality.
A new device would have to have a similar design methodology and ideally be supported by such an ecosystem.
I believe the next logical market for the iPod generation is college and the teens who grew up with iPods will be used to consuming media and information in a format as mediated by the iTunes store.
Analysts See iPod Market Share Gains Among Teens
Piper Jaffray analysts Gene Munster and Michael Olson on Wednesday released the results of their tenth bi-annual teen survey, which showed gains in iPod market share from the spring numbers. Specifically, 74% of the teens who possess an MP3 player said they own some type of iPod[...]
Based on this assumption and the fact that the RESALE market for textbooks allows most students to recoup some of the money spent on textbooks albeit at the expense to the publisher of a lost sale; I believe that Steve Jobs and Apple have negotiated hefty discounts from the publishers on content sold electronically based on the assumption that each student will buy a book and it will not be resellable.
That in itself would be enough to have a winning product, an ebook that eliminates the stack of books required for an education.
The game changer will be, a general purpose computing platform, most likely NOT x86 compatible and a partnership with a VoIP provider such as Skype to allow unlimited domestic calls and sms.
By teaming three such important features, books, applications for any area of education and the always on VoIP and SMS functionality they would have an obvious winner.
I predict that the icing on the cake will be that it will have full media support for itunes songs and movie downloads.
Although a student may need a laptop for some content creation, for class, for notes for reading and studying and for communicating with peers I think the niche that Apple serves with a new tablet will be a real game winner for Apple and establish Apple as the preeminent educational brand.

I'm excited to see this and will be looking forward to the next issue February!
]]>Previously I've tested a G-Track from SAMSON but the unit I received before the Holidays was defective and would FADE OUT while I was recording vocal tracks with it. I sent it back as defective and ordered the BLUE Yeti Mic when I found out it was coming out. I considered the RODE Podcaster instead but realized it was a Dynamic mic and preferred the sound I got with a Condenser so went with the yeti.
The Zero Latency Monitoring works on Windows XP but not Under Ubuntu 9.10 and an ASUS EEE PC netbook. I'm not sure what the difference is so I'm pasting in to this post the lsusb -v output for the device in case anyone has an idea.
I bought a stand and pop filter subsequently and with the isolating earbuds I have this is a great low-end quasi studio sounding setup on the cheap.
Very pleased with the results and would buy another for remote sites if I needed it.
So far a good buy!

How Terahertz Waves Tear Apart DNA
]]>
the forces that terahertz waves exert on double-stranded DNA are tiny, in certain circumstances resonant effects can unzip the DNA strands, tearing them apart. This creates bubbles in the strands that can significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication.
You will need:
systemrescuecd
from the console of the xenserver:
xe vm-list
xe vm-list name-label=YOUR-CORRUPT-VM-NAME params=uuid
xe vm-param-set uuid=c37623c8-2d38-04a0-19d3-792630865172 HVM-boot-policy="BIOS order"
Go to the General Tab of your corrupt vm
click Properties
click Startup Options
adjust Boot Order For systemrescuecd.iso in virtual drive you have mounted with the CIFS ISO library option under the GUI for the xenserver console.
reboot the VM
hit enter at the systemrescuecd splash screen
at the console type this:
net-setup eth0
dhcpd eth0
mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
cd /mnt/sda1
you now have a sshd server you can sftp data off of
Found one copy online and am getting errors on running it of :
"Number of Physical drives in the trace file is 0 Trace file has invalid system configuration information"
Went looking for other copies and found these hashes:
f654f8841f465cfaf25a9260cbc13a2f bootvis-1.3.37.0.msi
0d4567e929a20c4c601e8754a4cbf128 bootvis-2nd.msi
the second one appears bogus, the MSI installer is not signed by Microsoft and I did not perform a install with it, scans came up clean but who knows.
I think the error I am getting may be because of hard drive encryption on the laptop.
I still need a perf tool to measure boot performance...

When calling ruby state the version you want:
# ruby1.9 ./sinatra.rb
Remember that the gem libraries are in separate paths... on my system this is /usr/lib/ruby/gems/
for getting gems to update behind an NTLM proxy server remember to set your environment:
export http_proxy=http://username:password@hostname-of-proxy:8080

Using markup applied to a document, SiSU can produce plain text, HTML, XHTML, XML, OpenDocument, LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an SQL database with objects 3 (equating generally to paragraph-sized chunks) so searches may be performed and matches returned with that degree of granularity (e.g. your search criteria is met by these documents and at these locations within each document). Document output formats share a common object numbering system for locating content. This is particularly suitable for "published" works (finalized texts as opposed to works that are frequently changed or updated) for which it provides a fixed means of reference of content.]]>
Download your platform, most likely the i386 and then install:
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/ubuntuzilla*.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
I had to install the dependent library manually, it tells you if it is missing.
sudo ubuntuzilla.py -b -g -a install -p firefox
The -b option skips the filespace checking and backup of the profile, and the -g skips the GPG code check which for some reason was not working to access the keys...
After that I launched it and it was working!
1) Activate the jaunty-proposed archive as described in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
you basically add the following line to the end of /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe
2) Update your local package cache using your favorite method:
sudo aptitude update
3) Install the kernel explicitly. The easiest method is to use this terminal command:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic
4) After installing the kernel, you can undo step 1 -- disable the jaunty-proposed archive by commenting out the line you added in /etc/apt/sources.list --
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list# deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe
modify grub's boot preference, or hold down the ESC key and manually test the kernel option.
sudo aptitude install startupmanager
sudo startupmanager]]>
