Solving failed to lock the file error in VMWare on booting of virtual machine

Just delete the .lck files that you see in the VM folder and your virtual machine will boot up again nicely. Apparently these .lck files are used for locking the VM storage files (VMDK files) – in case that your virtual machine stopped unexpected – these files were not removed automatically – so it is safe to remove them manually.

“Each generation thinks that they have made progress and that their life is better than the way people lived in the past”


Superficially looking at the above statement, I would agree in terms of as the generations increase, so does the progress in contemporary technology. The world has progressed to a high-tech, modern society with fancy gadgets that have proven to be both to our benefit and largely to our detriment. Yes, we live more comfortably now, but there was something about the way people went about their lives in the past that you can’t even hope to come across in the 21st century.
The dilemma with our generation is that we live a contradictory life and have gotten impatient beyond imagination. What with the fast food revolution, the high-speed internet and the Blackberrys- that may I add, once upon a time, merely used to be fruits- we find it so hard to even wait in a queue for a few minutes. We throw bad temper and get annoyed if the internet becomes slow for a few seconds. And I speak for myself here as well. With the entire world on our fingertips, we want it all and we want it now. Our attitudes are strengthening downwards and we’ve become too narrow-minded about everything. What we see on the news is what we believe. Without giving it a second thought, without taking a backward glance, we give them permission to brainwash us.
We live luxuriously, yet we want more.
 With advanced technology, one would think that we’re happy, but no, the people in the past were so much more at ease. They might’ve not had the luxury that very much seems to govern our lives, but I can promise that they were definitely happier with what they had.
We have science, and we have technology, but we’re lacking the simple yet essential ingredients of happiness.
We’re empty inside, and therefore buy every attempt to fill that gaping hole in our lives. Suicide rates are higher now than they were ever before. Why? We ruined our economy and brought it to its downfall with our own hands…our own self-seeking hands. We’ll never be satisfied by looking on the outside and this want for more will be the death of us.
It’s thrilling that information is more accessible and quick to get to, but what happens when we use these mediums to spread lies and false information? What about the fact that it is killing us and making us more intolerant by the second, and even though we may be more educated than the people in the past, we have to face the reality that we have more problems and doubts. Problems which won’t be fully answered, and if they will, will only give way to new ones. We’re convinced that we’re successful as we have our calendars overflowing with events, but when did we ever take out the time to get to know our neighbor?
Religion, morality and values, it seems, are things of the past; we’ve lost all sense and direction and pushed them aside, something to be dealt with later. In the future, as we progress more, we will only become worse. And instead of the future looking bright, from what most of us are seeing, it looks pretty harsh unless we actually get off our laziness  and do something about it- however seemingly insignificant it may seem.
It starts from within you and I

Eye-Opening Conversation ( ALBERT EINSTEIN )

Eye-Opening Conversation
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, the Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
 
    Prof: So you believe in God?
 
    Student: Absolutely, sir.
 
    Prof: Is God good?
 
    Student: Sure.
 
    Prof: Is God all-powerful?
 
    Student: Yes.
 
    Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
 
    (Student is silent.)
 
    Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?
 
    Student: Yes.
 
    Prof: Is Satan good?
 
    Student: No
 
    Prof: Where does Satan come from?
 
    Student: From...God...
 
    Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
 
    Student: Yes.
 
    Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
 
    Student: Yes.
 
    Prof: So who created evil?
 
    (Student does not answer.)
 
    Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
 
    Student: Yes, sir.
 
    Prof: So, who created them?
 
   
    (Student has no answer.)
 
    Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and serve the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
 
    Student: No, sir.
 
    Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
 
    Student: No, sir.
 
    Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
 
    Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
 
    Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
 
    Student: Yes.
 
    Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
 
    Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
 
    Prof: Yes, faith. And that is the problem science has.
 
    Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
 
    Prof: Yes.
 
    Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
 
    Prof: Yes.
 
    Student: No sir. There isn't.
 
    (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
 
    Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have any thing called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
 
    (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
 
    Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
 
    Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
 
    Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it is called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
 
    Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
 
    Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
 
    Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
 
    Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality.
    You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
 
    Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
 
    Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
 
    (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
 
    Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
 
    (The class is in uproar.)
 
    Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
 
    (The class breaks out into laughter.)
 
    Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
 
    (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student.)
 
    Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
 
    Student: That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Myths About IT Engineers

Myths About IT Engineers

After lots of meet ups with non-IT friends, relatives, strangers etc, you
will notice that the moment you say that you are an IT guy, they have
already made some assumptions about you.*

Myth #1:       If you haven't been onsite ...u are a loser *
Uncle:            "Tum 3 saal se IT company mein kaam kar rahe ho na?"
Me:                 Haan uncle ......bas ....."
Uncle:            "Tum videsh nahi gaye?"
Me:                 "Nahi uncle project mein requirement nahi hai onsite
kaa"
Uncle:            "Lekin woh deepak ko toh maanna padegaa.... vo chote
sheher se hai.....bade college se nahi hai ...fir bhi usne jamke mehnat ki
aur usse company ne 2 saal me he USA bhej diya!"
Aaaha! That’s the problem. People think that the smarty pants are sent on
site while the loser ones are the people left behind in India. So the
assumption is that if you haven't been on site then you don't work hard nor
you have any sincerity and... ok that's enough for now. *


Myth #2:      If you are not in the biggies... u are a loser *
Auntyji :        "Beta, kaunsa company?"......"Kabhi suna nahi"....."Kaha
hai ye?"
Aunty:            "Tumko HP mein nahi mila kya?" (in short: "tum
second grade gadhe lagte ho")
Then I have to make efforts to tell them how I actually work in a much
nice technology. In case the opposite person is technologically sane then
I give him some product development 'funda' (arrogance). *


Myth #3:        You can fix any computer…and calculator and may be clocks
too *
Most of the computer engineers around must have at least once gone to a
friend's place only to fix his /her comp. The task can be from installing a
software (next..next.. finish) to fixing a computer which gives electric
shocks when its metal areas are touched. *


Myth #4:        You have lots of money *
Once I met up with my friends from school ...from various fields. I just
mentioned that it is such a pain to go to office nowadays and said that I
wanted to buy a car.
Friend1:        "what problem do u have man .. u are an IT waala"
Friend2:        "Tu toh Honda CRV le saktaa hai"
Me:                 "CRV!! aabey CRV kyaa mere pass VCR lene ka paisa nahi
hai"
Even after 5 minutes of convincing them weren't getting convinced.*


Myth #5:        Coding means sitting in front of the computer *
During my college days , my classmate had an encounter with a guy from
mechanical dept:
Mech guy:    "Your Computer engineering is a big nautanki.... four years
You learn the same grey dabba... and all you ppl do is sit nicely in front
Of that dabba and punch the keys"
Well I don't completely disagree *


Myth #6: *
One more thing which oldies say : " Now you work in such a big company ,
you are settled , you should marry now !! " OMG this salary is not enough
for one poor soul.. how to handle two ??? *


Myth #7: *
In Diwali...u get questions like......"Are you gonna get a bonus this
Diwali.....??" And when we reply in the negative.....they seem so
surprised...!!!!!!!   *


Myth #8: A common issue that I have seen: *
When I tell anybody that I work with ABC company , many times I get a reply
"My
son/daughter/relative Mr/Ms XXX also works in ABC. You must be knowing
him/her" and if I answer in the negative, they feel disappointed (they
think.....may b nobody wants to knows me).
How to explain to them that there are around thousands of employees in my
company, and I cannot know everybody in my Project, forget about knowing
everybody in the company.  *

Add ons: *

#How many times do you face this question?
"What does your company make...???"
Very logical question but.....How do you answer this one?


Well users can add their realtime experience(must be interesting) !!

Do you know what is problem ?


Problem is just the distance between the expected & the reality.

So either except less,so you can always get more or except the reality and the problem is no more.

LIFE BEFORE COMPUTERS

LIFE BEFORE COMPUTERS


An APPLICATION was for employment
A PROGRAM was a TV show!

A CURSOR used profanity
A KEYBOARD was a piano!

MEMORY was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account!

And if you had a 3 1/2 inch FLOPPY
You hoped nobody found out!

COMPRESS was something you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file!

And if you UNZIPPED anything in public
You'd be in jail for awhile!

LOG ON was adding wood to a fire
HARD DRIVE was a long trip on the road!

A MOUSE pad was where a mouse lived
And a BACKUP happened to your commode!

CUT - you did with a pocket-knife
PASTE you did with glue!

A WEB was a spider's home
And a VIRUS was the flu!

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the MEMORY in my head.

I hear nobody's been killed in a computer CRASH
But when it happens they wish they were dead!

Bill Gates advice to youngsters


Bill Gates advice to youngsters

Here is an excerpt from MicroSoft Owner Bill Gate” speech to Students of High School in California , USA . This is worthwhile reading specially youths of all ages to learn about 11 rules they did not & will not learn in school.
ELEVEN RULES OF LIFE :-
Rule 1 –> Life is not fair >>> Get used to it.
Rule 2 –> The world won’t care about your self-esteem & will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 –> You will NOT make $40,000 a year – right out of high school & won’t be a vise-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 –> If you think your teacher is TOUGH, wait till you get a BOSS.
Rule 5 –> Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity, your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping — they called it opportunity.
Rule 6 –> If you mess-up, it’s not your parent’s fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes and learn from them.
Rule 7 –> Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now, they got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes & listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8 –> Your school may have done away with Winners & Losers, but life has not. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades & they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9 –> Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers Off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself – DO that on your own time.
Rule 10 –> Television is NOT real life, in real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop & go to work.
Rule 11 –> Be nice to nerds, Chances are you’ll end up working for one.
