With the Internet2 Consortium hitting a new
data speed record of 9.08 Gbps, the outer speed limits might be in
sight for this particular network. “These records are final for the 10
Gbps network era,” said team leader Dr. Kei Hikaki in a statement,
“because they represent more than 98 percent of the upper limit of
network capacity.”

Amazing.. now its just a matter of time before we see faster speeds at home.

How many times have you clicked Start > Run > CMD

Do you know that there are a lot more options to that cmd command, some of them quite useful:

In particular cmd /k “command” opens a command prompt, shows you the results of command and then leaves the prompt open.

On the other hand, cmd /c “command” executes the command and then terminates.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>help cmd
Starts a new instance of the Windows command interpreterCMD [/A | /U] [/Q] [/D] [/E:ON | /E:OFF] [/F:ON | /F:OFF] [/V:ON | /V:OFF]
[[/S] [/C | /K] string]

/C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
/K Carries out the command specified by string but remains
/S Modifies the treatment of string after /C or /K (see below)
/Q Turns echo off
/D Disable execution of AutoRun commands from registry (see below)
/A Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be ANSI
/U Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be
Unicode
/T:fg Sets the foreground/background colors (see COLOR /? for more info)
/E:ON Enable command extensions (see below)
/E:OFF Disable command extensions (see below)
/F:ON Enable file and directory name completion characters (see below)
/F:OFF Disable file and directory name completion characters (see below)
/V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the
delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
variable var at execution time. The var syntax expands variables
at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
loop.
/V:OFF Disable delayed environment expansion.

• Solaris Express, Developer Edition 02/07 in VMware « Dave’s Blogs
  Solaris Express, Developer Edition is easier to install than Solaris 10. It’s almost as simple as keep clicking Next or Enter key until you are done. I ran the installation in VMWare Server 1.02 environment. I assume you already familiar with VMWare

Rant for the day :

Don’t know about you, but I never really liked Firefox 2. Here are a few reasons why:

1. It is slow.
2. The colours on the interface are too glossy
3. An X on each tab, takes up space when a lot of tabs are open.
4. Tab scrolling, when a lot of tabs are open, not showing all open tabs
5. It is less stable than 1.5

The worst part is that there will be no more updates for the 1.5 series of Firefox.

 Update: according to Firefox.com support for 1.5 has been extended till mid May
