Scammers using Dish Network

It was annoying to be called by guys from 1-877-656-9808. Claiming to be dish network rebate department and trying to sell monthly programming for $68 with latest equipment. Always suspected they were a fraud. Finally i asked for a number and they gave the about number. When i tried to call them back, I can easily see this guy trying to put an ugly USA accent. Total frauds. Then they called me from two other phone numbers, 203-201-2000 and 971-230-0738 asking for SSN, CC# etc...

I read here that more people have been affected. I think dish network should advertise to avoid getting a bad name.

Please be aware...

Opensolaris supporting fast-reboot

For people who work with a real OS... OpenSolaris build 100 now supports fastboot.

The minute i installed b100 i found great use for it. Its typical that once i install a lab system for development, i always have to set proper network params, hostname and such to work with DHCP blah blah... and then i would need to reboot.

deciced to give it a try and reboot -f , got the prompt (including X) back in about 7-10 secs) which was fantastic...

Thank you Sherrie from sun for providing this neat feature.. now only if you extend to support panic reboots would be fantastic.

Check the manpage for reboot for additional options.

Great work Sherrie!
