I just use a stand drill. I goes through all the platters and the circuitboard.
Fairly easy to find and purchase.

Multiple driver issues then, as running some OS in fusion isn't the same as in bare hardware, it's a whole new machine from the guest OS point of view.
If you run windows on the bare hardware, it will use nvidia and all other real hardware drivers.
If you run windows in fusion, it will use some "generic" hardware drivers.
So I somehow doubt it's a specific driver problem if it happens both in fusion and on bare hardware.

Motorola RAZR phones, for example, won't charge on PCs unless the Motorola driver is present to do the handshake.
This only happens on windows, if you are running whatever other OS (Solaris, Linux, OpenBSD, MacOSX), it will charge on USB without any supplementary driver of any kind.

It's funny they made a contest for this because it is just so trivial to analyze this if you have a few minutes to lose.
New Bill To Rein In DHS Laptop Seizures 311
twigles writes with news of a new proposed bill that seeks to curtail DHS's power to search and seize laptops at the border without suspicion of wrongdoing. Here is Sen. Feingold's press release on the bill. The new bill has more privacy-protecting safeguards than the previous one, which we discussed last month. "The Travelers Privacy Protection Act, a bill written by US Senators Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., would allow border agents to search electronic devices only if they had reasonable suspicions of wrongdoing. In addition, the legislation would limit the length of time that a device could be out of its owner's possession to 24 hours, after which the search becomes a seizure, requiring probable cause."

First test your DNS to see if it has the flaw. For example, OpenBSD is on the CERT list of concerned vendors but it doesn't show the flaw, so it does not need to be patched.
I guess they just took a list of OSes packaging bind without checking anything.
Submission + - Dell thinks Ubuntu makes computers more fragile? (dellideastorm.com)
WolfWings writes: "Apparently Dell has decided that Ubuntu-based computers are ineligible for their famed CompleteCare service, or any form of hardware warranty what-so-ever. The news has only recently hit Dell's own IdeaStorm website, but after so recently decided to support Linux on their machines, including limited technical support, Dell seems to be squandering any possible good-will with this decision to leave purchasers of these machines high and dry for hardware warranty coverage."
