Run OS X in Linux with qemu
It is possible without too much difficulty to get OS X Leopard running as a guest in a virtual machine with Linux as the host without too much difficulty. It is illegal as far as I know unless you have Linux running on real Apple hardware and don’t want to reboot just to use OS X but if you’re in this boat you can also use Virtual Box which officially supports OSX guests on Apple hardware. If you don’t have Apple hardware you’re only option is qemu and now it’s possible with having to manually patch qemu.

Serial Barcode Scanner in Linux
I had a very difficult time finding a way to get a simple serial barcode scanner to work in Linux. USB barcode scanners are a cinch because they are basically like usb keyboards. However with a serial device there has to be something to direct the input from /dev/ttyS0 to the keyboard buffer. Continue reading Serial Barcode Scanner in Linux
Downloads Disappear
Do files you download disappear before you ever get a chance to open them? This can happen in Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 as well as all versions of Firefox.
Install Adobe Flash Player 10.1
Flash Player 10.1 beta is out and it makes huge performance improvements over 10. Windows users get the use of graphics acceleration which drastically reduces CPU usage when watching videos and playing games. Linux and Mac version also have a speed increase. In one benchmark on my Linux system my score doubled over 10. For the most part it’s pretty stable so if you’re tired of slow flash performance I’d recommend you update. You can download it from Adobe Labs.

What to do with a cursed computer
What to do with a cursed computer
There’s all kinds of fun things broken computers are good for, after you’ve hired IT Support Naperville and the computer proves to be of no good use. Below is what I would consider the top 10:
- Throw the computer off of a high point. At least 3 or 4 stories high would be good. I’ve done this before and it tends to be anti-climatic. If you choose on doing this be sure you’re the one throwing it, it’s more fun that way.
- Sell you computer on ebay. If you have a recent computer this might be viable option. There are several people that sell their computers “as-is” and make a small amount of change.
- Plug your computer’s power connector in backwards and let the sparks fly. This is much easier to do with older computers like 386’s than the new models. With old atx style motherboards you can switch the two power connectors on the motherboard and let the system fry itself. Some 486’s even let you plug the CPU in incorrectly which made a fun amount of smoke. With new computer’s one can try overclocking them to extreme levels and then removing the heatsink to provide a similar effect.
- Burn it’s body, throw the bones through a wood chipper, mix it with cement and throw it in the ocean or a nearby lake.
- Leave it in your unlocked car and hope someone takes it. Better yet, find someone else’s unlocked car and leave it there.
- Do your civic duty and take it to a computer recycling center. Really, they do exist try looking in the phone book.
- Decorate your apartment with it’s dead parts or better yet use them for body piercings.
- Just take it out back and shoot it. Or go lethal on it Office Space style.
- Donate it to a charity. You’ll have a better chance of them accepting it if you just leave it at their doorstep. Don’t even think about taking it off your taxes.
- Have a white elephant party.
- Keep it on your desk and use it as a perpetual excuse why you can’t do things like, your homework, the dishes and paying bills.
