3D supports still requires the closed source additions package and is still marked experimental. So props if it actually works.

i had to ask the vbox guys to actually open up their lovely rear end driver since they were coasting on the "it's marked as gpl but we're not going to open up our files until someone asks" approach.

do not expect quality from vbox

it always takes me a half minute to think about what that means

I hate the fact that this metaphor is so popular, because it doesn't intuitively make sense to me

I'm just going to say "free as in adobe flash" vs "free as in mozilla firefox" and those who actually care will understand what I mean
