A lot of people running ESX 3.5 Update 2 have been experiencing a slight bug where you can’t start or restart VMs starting August 12th 2008. Well, that could be a problem.
Here’s a thread about the issue with some workarounds which involve messing with the host’s time. (Watch out not to sync your Domain controllers with the wrong time, or bye bye Kerberos!).
Also, today is patch Tuesday by Microsoft and I’m sure a lot of people will be installing critical security patches and rebooting Virtual Machines. That should be interesting…but hey, people will learn not to patch stuff too fast.
The real issue with this is that VMware, an enterprise solution, has built-in license management. How can companies not realize that schemes such as this always hurt the honest customer? The dishonest ones are probably running cracked versions that weren’t affected by this.

I couldn’t resist.
Actual Numbers from Google (Canada)
“I should have kissed her” : 7730
“I shouldn’t have kissed her:” 806
Results from Cuil
I should have kissed her: 4
I shouldn’t have kissed her: 0
My regret is actually having wasted time to check this out. I actually feel guilty comparing anything to Cuil, since it might generate some “buzz” around it.

Does this make anyone want to buy it? Why would I want to buy an Identity Management solution when I see that? What, it’s so great the people who work with it have time to learn ballet instead of how to use it? Wow.
However, this is very amusing:
Run over people to “provision them” , manage groups, give Single Sign on capability to users, burn auditors…
And the third weird to hell thing about this is the video about Federated Access/Web SSO. Yes, I said Federated, so an obvious bad pun would be…uh..this

It is the second time that Banque Laurentienne’s ATM’s are down on a Thursday at around 9:00pm. Are they doing maintenance at that time? Is their network so weak that it crashes on Thursdays when people get paid? Do they run Windows on their ATM’s and have to disable them while they deploy a security fix?
How is someone supposed to trust having access to their money if needed when the banks are closed and the ATM’s crash all the time?
