I had the same issue with this device. I ended up writing some code that you could run on a machine to operate the switching via the RS232 port: https://github.com/timgws/kvm-switch/
Bonus for adding 'glide and switch' functionality, so you can move the mouse to the edge of the screen and it would jump the input to the next display in your layout. It's like a hardware version of Synergy.
Very finicky device, but if you don't touch it - and you don't use any of the shortcuts - it works.
PIDs from Windows are not exposed when looking at /proc, so I am guessing you will not be able to `kill -9 explorer.exe` unless there is some real voodoo going on (and then it would not be POSIX compatible, anyways).
I think the command that you meant to say was killall :) `kill` will only kill pids, not process names.
A quick Google search shows that most commercial usenet providers do not have more then 3000 days worth of text retention. (ie, you can get a little more then 8 years worth of history).
So, unless someone out there has terabytes worth of text storage from way back when (which is one reason why Google bought Deja News in the first place), I don't think it will be possible to get all that history.
In all seriousness, though, I started my own open source project hosting website back in the day. It was the first to offer public Mercurial and Git hosting.
Google Code existed then and the interface and functionality has not really changed since I released the first version of the site.
Actually, WebKit was a fork of KHTML, correct, but it is licensed under the terms of LGPL. One extra letter, but a world of difference. This is why they had to open source KHTML, but they could get away with not open sourcing Safari (if KHTML was licensed under the GPL, any app that linked against the library would need to be licensed under the GPL, too.)
Let's not forget that webkit when it was released was little more then a code dump - one big patch that had to be applied to KHTML.
Another commenter posted that the L1Techs KVM are Rextron devices. The Startech switches are rebranded ConnectPro KVMs.
