Chinese student fails job interview because of iPhone • The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/12/04/iphone_student_fails_job_interview/
“Students who have iPhones don’t work. Everything you have was bought by your parents. You haven’t bought anything by working yourself. You are wealthy and can’t stand the stress. Working at our company is tough. It calls for someone who can take the pain and suffering.”

Zalman ZM-VE200SE
Couple of month ago I have acquired a neat piece of equipment: Zalman ZM-VE200 . However I have never had a chance to test it’s most intriguing geek-feature: ISO mounts. In short – it can pick and ISO from disk and pretend to be a CD/DVD drive to a computer. Very handy and no mess with optical media etc.
Zalman website is not very usefull (no docs whatsoever). So I have snooped around and found what I needed:
- Have to create the firstpartition as NTFS
- FAT32 wouldn’t accept DVD images over 4G
$ mkfs.ntfs -f -L ZALMAN_NTFS /dev/sdb1
- Have to stash ISO’s into “_iso” folder (note the case)
- Will have to defrag that drive from time to time
So I ended up allocating 100G from 500G drive for the NTFS partition with intent of wiping it every now and then and reformatting to work around absence of defrag tools in LinuxInstalling Fedora 18 on Dell laptop I had to use the rocker to select ISO, then scroll up and change mode from “DUAL” to “ODD”, scroll back to Fedora ISO, depress the rocker and Dell finally agreed to recognize VE200SE as a proper CDROM. - Have to create the firstpartition as NTFS
