disable the time synchronization in a virtual machine using vmware workstation

Should you, for whatever reason need to power up a VM hosting w/ VMWare Workstation without having it sync the time, edit the .vmx file for your virtual machine and add these settings:

tools.syncTime = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.continue = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.restore = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.resume.disk = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.resume.memory = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.shrink = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.tools.startup = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.resume = "FALSE"
rtc.startTime = 1250197532

RTC time is... well, I'm not getting into it... but this dude made an app to calc the right number for it -- he has a blog. But I can't find it. So here's a different link.
