    Yesterday evening, I told the VMWare tools of a virtual machine to shrink disk "C:" of that machine. It took extremely much time. When I looked through the log files this morning, I found the reason:

    Sep 30 01:28:56.081: vcpu-0| Progress 101% (none)

    Now I am 101% sure that the shrinking process has really been completed!

      It seems they wanted to shrink it as much as they could, 1% extra. So, if it was a 500 gig disk, you get an additional 5 gigs free. :-)

        It's an OO world.

            That turn of phrase gave me pause, it's more common to say "It took a lot of time." implying that in your opinion, it took much more time than you expected. So, what's syntactically wrong with your statement? Breaking it down, I found: nothing. Thank you for inadvertently pointing out to a native English speaker, that sometimes he doesn't know his own language so well. :) I've heard the phrase "I'm 110% sure that I'm right" several times. Which makes me 99% sure they are wrong in some way. I remember a TV series, one of the characters can't forget. He was saying they tested him as a kid, again and again making the 99'th percentile. She said, "What's the matter, you couldn't reach 100?" He said, "There isn't a 100'th." I knew that, but it made me feel better about my SAT's 98th percentile in math because it meant that maybe I was closer to 1.1% away from the top kid in the nation. I took the SAT's over 40 years ago. I'm quite sure my math has degraded since then. It doesn't matter what I scored as a kid. I can't prove it, but I still think I am above the 50th percentile in math. It took me a week to convince a manager that the math was wrong, when I knew it was wrong within 10 seconds of reading the line of code. (I never said I was superior in English. :laugh: )
