Thing about the recovery is that it will wipe your disk, and looks like a rather nasty hackjob.
I mounted the recovery image, and the rootfs + bootfs inside of it, put the contents from them on a new partition (created with gparted)
Next i created a new script in the initrd (hint: its a gzipped cpio newc archive) that mounts the partition i specified instead of the funky disk scanning they do (which doesn't work in anything other than their default setup)
then copy the lines from the mie boot/grub/menu.lst to your existing /boot/grub/menu.lst so you can boot it.

Honestly I don't like the UI, its pretty, but is better suited for touchscreens / pen displays
I prefer running xterm fullscreen with ratpoison.

So its a mouse, who still uses those?
I've been using trackballs for two decades, and got my bestfriend to switch a decade ago. Never having to pickup the mouse and relocate it = Priceless. I guess I could always sell it to one of my guild mates to afford WoTLK :/

So I got my best friend of 12 years addicted, and we've been playing under the awesome refer-a-friend system :D. Her time ends in 15 days, so I could really really use this :D
Pseudo-random number generator, please pick me!

You fail. Epic like. That is 3.18 Million Dollars.

I was under the impression that cellphone contracts were illegal in Japan, David Pogue and others have been saying for years we should ban subsidy agreements like japan has...

The title is very misleading. All they did was replace a server-side db check to always return true. All the clientside DRM and activation are still there. SecureROM crapware and all.

BuddyBoy, that limit is imposed by the firmware in your drive enclosure, or the ancient version of windows you are running. Whoever told you it was a limitation of the Bus/Protocol was flat out lying.
for PATA and (e)SATA, the limit is 144 PB
for SCSI, the limit is 8 ZB
USB (Mass Storage Class) and Firewire (Serial Bus Protocol 2) are limited by the underlying physical interface to the drives, as they each can use atleast 64bits of address.

You can boot OSX from usb. theres guides out there on the hackintosh sites, I think netkas even has one on his.
