Well, I have my script now, and it's in a location where I won't have to search for long to find it.
I considered posting it as a tip, but ultimately there's more code in the script trying to decide what folder name to use to name the VM (~40 lines) than actually creating it (one line)

I'm somewhat familiar with DSC. All I was trying to do here is "enumerate all existing VHD files, create a bog-standard VM mapping to each one of them". As I understand it, DSC serves a different purpose (defining templates, creating resources configured as dictated by said templates).

DSC does not take a photo of the current setup and builds it again on the target system?

Well, nothing really needs to be "rebuilt" in this case. I just have a bunch of fully functional VMs sitting on a disk. Their config files aren't that important; what matters is their disks (VHD files). It's really not all that different than taking an existing hard drive and putting it into another machine so it can boot from it.
What I needed to do in my case is create new VMs, but at the step where you can either create a new VHD or use an existing file - point it to an existing file on disk. I really don't think DSC could have contributed much here. I could very well be wrong, but that's not my understanding of what DSC tries to do.

Hi all, having solved todays puzzle on my tablet I though I'd show SWMBO the game on my main computer , I started with the same starter word but got a different result than before, to cut a long story short is was a different answer than earlier.

Very strange, I did it now from a different browser and the answer is the same.
EDIT: also from my phone, which has its oww IP from the mobile provider.

Have you tried to
- clear the browser's cache?
- clear the browser's cookies?
- reinstall the browser?
- reinstall the operating system?
- replace the motherboard?

First thing I did - both the same

IIRC the current estimate is 14.5 billion years ago. If the galaxies shown are only from "several billion light years away" then I see no reason to adjust the estimate.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

That's indeed my question. What if the Webb Telescope finds something beyond 14.5 billion light years?
When Hubble photographed the Ultra Deep Field sometime in 2003/2004, I believe it was 13.9 billion. Now, 14.5 billion. Next, what? Will our current theories of Physics need to get changed? Don't know.
|
|
|
|

My fault, it is still estimated to be between 13.5 and 13.9 billion years old. I must have been mixing it with the age of the earth (4.5 billion). 
But yeah, if Webb shows galaxies further than 13.n billion light years then the age will have to be revised.

Ah - but they won't - unless someone else comes up with a different age of the universe. Distance to objects is determined by redshift. The higher the value, the further away. But it's not linear. A redshift of infinity is, by definition, at a distance in light years of the age of the universe, whatever that current value might be accepted as.

Wow, awesome pic.
Makes you really think; what a infinitesimal little orb we live on and if there ain't no other life out there it would be a miracle.

The numbers are just mind boggling.
The Milky way has around 100–400 billion stars.
In that single image, there are hundreds of galaxies each with probably the same numbers of stars.
And the size of the image is the width of a grain of rice at arm length distance.

This time of year in sunny Cyprus, in the afternoons I tend to desert my study, which has three external walls and roof and gets very hot, for the living room and my second machine, which doubles as my entertainment PC. I decided to add a second screen, an old VGA 13" job. I am already using HDMI to take streamed music (no video) from the PC to the Hi-Fi system.
The problem is that with the HDMI disconnected, the VGA screen works fine, but when I reconnect the HDMI all three screens show up in Display Settings, but the VGA screen goes blank. The same thing happens when I use a USB2 to VGA adapter, instead of the built-in laptop VGA port.
Anybody got any bright ideas on how to fix this, and get the HDMI working for audio, and still have the second screen?
Ta everso!
