Oracle VM VirtualBox is great for trying out the latest and greatest technologies and platforms. So when Microsoft recently announced the Developer Preview for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1, it was with eager anticipation that FatBloke ran to the TechNet Evaluation Center to download the isos.

Although we have just released VirtualBox 4.3, this quick blog entry is about a longer standing ability of VirtualBox when it comes to Snapshots and Cloning, and was prompted by a question posed internally, here in Oracle: "Is there a way I can create a new VM from a point in my snapshot tree?".
Here's the scenario:…
A year is a long time in the IT industry. Since the last VirtualBox feature release, which was a little over a year ago, we've seen:

Don't you just hate it when this happens:
Fortunately, if you're running inside VirtualBox, you can resize your virtual disk and magically make your guest have a bigger disk very easily. There are 2 steps to doing this...
1. Resize the virtual disk
Use the VBoxManage command line tool to…
I often want the same files to be accessed by different apps on my Android phone, but the apps look in different folders. Is there a way to make two different folder paths on a FAT SD card point to the same file? For EXT, I think I could do this with a symbolic or hard link, but those don't exist for FAT. …
I'm trying to copy data from my computer to an SD card. After a few hundred megs, I keep getting the following errors in dmesg:

Are you kidding me? What a load of nutritional CRAP. Don’t buy this product. Just don’t do it.
They are just like Wheaties with more sugar and fat. Awesome just what we need more sugar!! Okay now I’m not against carbs… I’m really not. Being a cyclist I realize the importance of carbohydrates in…
This morning I lost a bunch of files, but because the volume they were one was both internally and externally defragmented, all of the information necessary for a 100% recovery is available; I just need to fill in the FAT where required.
I wrote a program to do this and tested it on a copy of…
The concept and usage of data grids are becoming very popular in this days since this type of technology are evolving very fast with some cool lead products like Oracle Coherence. Once for a while, developers need an programmatic way to calculate the total size of a specific cache…
Hello all, though I'm familiar with stackoverflow , and loving it , i've actually got a couple of questions myself about something other then programming.
Here are my question
Is it true that in FAT filesystems the maximum number of files per filesystem equals the number of entries in the…
I have a large file I want to transfer using either Internet storage hosting, DVD-Rs or USB storage, which sometimes is limited to FAT file-systems (for example: mobile phones)
What I'm basically looking for is a tool that create multiple files/volumes (less than 2GB each - FAT's file size…

Can anybody provide some details on <:< operator in scala.
I think
if(apple <:< fruit) //checks if apple is a subclass of fruit.
Are there any other explanations? I see many definitions in the scala source file.
I'm working on a web app and I need to get a div to stick to the bottom of the viewport. Always viewable and always on the bottom of the viewport. There's an example of what I want here: footer. Unfortunately, this doesn't work on the iPhone. I can think of some ways to do this…
