like described in https://marco-steinhaeuser.de/switching-to-ubuntu-part-iii-working-with-virtualbox.html, I couldn’t get USB devices mounted. for permanent mounting do the following: $ /proc/… installed and connected the VPN checkpoint client without problems installed M$ outlook without problems installed iTunes without problems install guest additions after starting your guest system to get full screen support, mouse support, shared folders support. if you need special features like screen sharing, skype on linux 2.1 beta isn’t a good choice. installed Skype w/o problems. after running a while it crashed. googled and finally found a bug in virtual box: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1710 Workaround functions perfectly: Go to the Skype folder in the guest XP machine and right click on the skype.exe Choose Compatibility Tab in options and Set it to Win2000. can ditch the second instance of my dual boot installation now 🙂

The Hubris of Classic Media
Yet another annoying _incident_ next to my place a couple of minutes before at RTL (kinda German TV station): “Win 5K EURs by answering the following question: For which desease a mosquito can be a vector a) Malaria b) the swells” … Dear RTL guys, who do you think I am? Do you really think I am stupid enough to call your bl**dy expensive extra number and answer your &%/(§ stupid question? What else would you dish me up? Not to speak of the incredible brainless ads spread between your pure consumers. Be happy that TV isn’t an interactive media (yet). I would verbally kill you for that hubris. Also, If I knew you could feel it, I would punch my TV station.
