Last week I've been trying to get Linux running in VMWare, without any luck.
Some good folk here on CP suggested I try VirtualBox and that did the trick! 
So I now got a Linux Mint and an Ubuntu VM on my Windows machine.
The following came to mind:
Yo dawg, we heard you like operating systems so we put operating systems in your operating system so you can operate your systems while you're operating your system
Now, time to uhhh... Operate some more

Stop drinking while you are operate...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Be reasonable! The man is struggling with Linux/Ubuntu. How will he ever persevere if he has to avoid drinking?
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Hey, come on! Give the man a chance.
He's installed two flavours of Linux. That's not booze.

That means I've come to a point where I can no longer operate a computer (or anything for that matter)

Cinnamon on Mint and uhhh... The default on Ubuntu.
I really wouldn't know the difference

Nothing of that meant anything to me.
I'll stick with the defaults which, according to the article, is Gnome for Ubuntu 
And Cinnamon (whatever that is) for Mint

VirtualBox is way better than the rest, one of the benefits is that it is updated every week or two. The scripts that control the devices are also updated. Linux Mint, Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu itself are a must have in my list, then there come others like Elementary OS; trust me, it's a very beautiful version of Ubuntu.
I got a list of them, I even try out Mac on my Windows. Which is definitely worst experience, but you understand the point being made.

Now install a virtual machine inside that virtual machine.
(next version of Hyper-V will allow you to do that...some other products already do - don't know if VirtualBox is one of them though)

Ever Skyped with somebody who shared his screen with you when he's using some other tool to look at your screen?
The 'mirror in a mirror' effect is...interesting. No crash though.

This what I and the kids were watching on TV. I had just never heard of them before and wondered if anyone had actually heard of the phrases in question in the real world.

Russell Howard is from Bristol. In OzzieSpeak, that's a bit like "he's from Tasmania".
They don't do things - or say things - the same down there...

Those particular phrases are Howard's inventions designed to mock the ones that people do use by being patently absurd (as opposed to unintentionally patently absurd).
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

In the domain of my current project I'm dealing with exchange formats where records are saved with key-value pairs each in a separate line:
### header
001 value1
002 value2
010 value3
300 value4
### header of next record
(etc)
As I'm planning on writing a Tip/Trick on a general purpose reader for that kind of format I'm wondering if there is an existing term for this - something like "line separated values"?
thanks, Sascha

Key-Value pairs?
Dictionary?
Hashtable?
Associative array?
Or am I missing something?
