Old Solaris Patches (Sunsite Mirrors)
sunsite.icm.edu.pl looks to be an old mirror of the pre-Oracle Sunsites. It’s quite useful for patches for older Solaris releases.
To get Internet Explorer 5.0 for Unix (Sparc) running on the Sparc release of Solaris 7 I ended up using:
108376-46: OpenWindows 3.6.1: Xsun Patch (Patch File)
106327-23: SunOS 5.7: 32-Bit Shared library patch for C++ (Patch File)
106950-24: SunOS 5.7: Linker Patch (Patch File)
And voila! Internet Explorer 5.0 for Unix running on the Sparc release of Solaris 7.0
Strangelove
The original Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb trailer. It’s probably still the best black comedy about the cold war I have seen.
A Marriage Made in Portsmouth: The Union between the Liberal Party and the SDP
Here’s a nice little documentary on the Liberal/SDP merger. A little before my time, there are a good number of faces I remember from later years – though all noticeably younger!
It seems to have been first shown at 6.00pm on the March 2nd, 2009.

Smeg
All of Red Dwarf’s Smegs.
Extremist Couch Must Go
Faster
The Manic Street Preacher’s Faster (which, somehow, manages to have a music video that feels like a pastiche of Apple adverts half a decade before that campaign actually kicked off).
