    Yes, I've just started using that and am finding it extremely useful to set up a bunch of VMs talking to each other without any danger of them talking to the outside world.

    You can't half eat up some disk space when you get going on this lark, and in pretty short order 4GB RAM isn't enough

    P.S. On advice from others I got the Oracle version of VirtualBox rather than the Open Source version. Any thoughts on that? (Yeah we know that Larry will find a way of making the Oracle version cost more at some point in time.)

    Well actually the picture on the front. Which was a suitably adjusted version of this.

    I am a bit of a hoarder.

    I have dozens of linux distros (ubuntu, fedora, & slackware) + freeBSD & solaris x86, linux + windows versions of oracle going back to version 8 or 9, express versions of SQL server & visual studio (although I have paid for VS2008 professional), plus sun JDKs, eclipse and all the java libraries I actually use, not to mention other open source and free to download tools & SDKs for all sorts of things from DSP to FPGA simulation. I probably have close to 1TB in total, more if you count the VMs it gets installed on.

    No, that wasn't me, I no longer own a copy in any form of said document..
    PM me, I'll send you the pdf

    It's worth watching just for the soundtrack

    I searched for River Phoenix last movie for a long time, but couldn’t find it on DVD. Downloaded it a couple of months ago, still haven’t watched it.

    I'm like that with my PVR. It's stuffed to the gills with stuff I may never get around to watch. Things like Springwatch from a couple of years ago.


    On an almost totally unrelated note. Your classic movie image reminds me of one displayed in a shop that I pass regularly and which I often stop to look at for some reason:



    Yul looks like a midget next to Connery.

    Stuff downloaded but never used

    The other week I was talking down the pub about some girl's T-shirt.

    Well actually the picture on the front. Which was a suitably adjusted version of this.



    After a bit of thinking we agreed that it is from North by Northwest.

    I have not seen it in ages so I stated to download the DVD. It has just finished after downloading for over a week.

    Now I am so fed up with it, I cannot be arsed to watch it. I'll burn it in a moment and it is going to disappear into the stack of DVD's that I haven't watched. It won't be lonely, I have loads of 'em to keep it company.

Working...
