If you're only 15, then my heartfelt apologies, I have a subconscious mental image of HN visitors as being people that are somehow active in the IT industry for a while, and not knowing about VMware would be unthinkable in that case.
Once again, sorry about that.
Regarding the 'jackass' bit, beware of thinking everybody on this forum is 15 years old, that street works two ways and bans here are swift and pretty permanent.
HN is a forum unlike most others and one of the reasons for that is that people that can't control their use of language get killed.
I'm not actually 15 years old. I'm 24 this week. I'm from Iceland and my english is not cleansed with bleach. I don't work in IT which is why I was asking for the hacker's explanation of VMware.
Thinks for the kid advice though. I'm having one next week.
Don't apologise. The expectation here is that this is a community of adults and your comments were well within those bounds.
Jokull won't be calling anyone a jackass again anytime soon, I hope, and I have realised anew that people without my lengthy background in IT might not worship the same totems I do. Interesting. I keep forgetting that.
Chalk it up to experience, comrades, and carry on ...
Once again, sorry about that.
