One of my friends has a different video of this stunt. But I never knew that this would hit you tube.

From what I know both guys were brusied, sore, and cut afterwards but no major injuries.

Virtual Boxing Linux under Windows XP

August 3rd, 2007 by Brad Heap

In my concurrent programming and operating systems lecture at uni the other day, the lecturer was going on about virtualization. I have read a bit about it in the past but as far as I knew it didn’t really work yet. Well how wrong I was. Our lecturer showed us VM Ware by VNCing from the lecture room computer to his office computer running windows xp, he then booted both windows vista and linux. Anyway of course that has got be buzzing so I found Virtual Box a free virtualization software, thanks for the comparison chart wikipedia. And now I have Ubuntu 7 running off Windows XP. I am currently download all 2.8GB of Fedora 7. Anyway here is a screenshot of my Traffic Simulator running in Java under virtualized linux. I am getting some errors in the console because the java on Ubuntu is not perfect, but it still works the app.

NZHerald Pic http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10455434 The article is about broadband speeds, and the image, I am assuming here, is probably generated automatically by a text filter. Because it is talking about speeds it has inserted a picture of a police officer with a speed camera. Just goes to prove that we have a long way still to go with AI able to detect context in sentences.
