We've got to be more careful - he's starting to ask questions. It's pretty important that he doesn't find out what else we've been keeping from him.

Even better, it comes with a highly effective content filter. Callers with truly important news will, upon finding the house phone is engaged, call one of our mobile phones. However, teenagers, with their inherent lack of cash and memories of past confrontations with parents over mobile phone call costs, will instead retry the home phone approximately every 60 seconds. I can guarantee that, from the instant I replace the phone after dinner, it's never more than 60 seconds till it starts ringing again.

However, for your benefit, I hope slashdot institutes an auto-acronym feature. So that next time there's a story about a new BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), SCO (Santa Cruz Operation), IBM (International Business Machines), or even 3M (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Corporation) you'll (you will) know what those acronyms mean.

So you booted from an unknown ISO without reading the documentation first and it did something you didn't expect? And you're surprised?
You were probably luckier than you deserved to be, only losing a VM. It's nothing to do with being a n00b, lots of n00bs know to be careful before running unknown software...
Yes, it might happen to me one day but I'd be fully prepared to accept that it would be my fault for not being more careful.
Are all your knives labelled "Caution, may be sharp"?
