Hitler still alive untill 1986 ?

I have a high interest in the years before World War II in Germany and World War II in Europe. I want to know why such a bad party as the Nazi-party (NSDAP) won the elections in 1933 in Germany and lead Germany to the abyss in the years after 1933 and killed so many innocent people in death camps (Auschwitz, Teblinka etc.) and why 55 million people died in this war. Could this happen again ?

I just found an amazing story about Hitler. We have all learned in school that he died in 1945. Now there is a story that he did not die in 1945, but lived until 1986 (yes you're reading it right!).
What is going on here ?

Adolf Hitler was declared legally dead only on October 25, 1956. He was born on april 20th 1889 in Braunau (Austria).
He was a member of the German army during the first World War (WWI). Hitler joined the NSDAP-party in september 1919.

Motives for Hitlers dead in 1945:
- with the dead of Hitler the alliance between the USSR and the USA could be broken and the 'cold war' could be started.
- with the dead of Hitler Stalin could not reproach the western (GB/USA) power that they had protected Hitler.
- with the dead of Hitler no expensive legal process had to be done.

In Germany there is a new movie called "Er is wieder da" (He is here again) about Hitler being alive in 2015 (!).

Cloud Computing

Er is veel discussie over wat nou eigenlijk wel en wat nou geen Cloud Computing is.

In de WhitePaper 800-145 staat helder beschreven wat wel en wat niet Cloud Computing is.
Deze white paper is te downloaden van:
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-145/SP800-145.pdf

De WhitePaper 800-145 is niet helemaal duidelijk over de rollen binnen Cloud Computing.
De Whitepaper 500-292 is daar wel weer heel duidelijk over. Deze white paper is te downloaden van:

Running ESXi 5.1 in Hyper-V 3.x

On many websites i have read that i could not be done.
But it is possible ... running ESXi within hyper-v 3.0 (Windows Server 2012 / Windows 8)
Why ? For the fun of it and for your own lab-environment.

How do you do it:

1. Download ESXi 5.1 from VMWARE.COM
2. Download Tulip NIC driver from http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2187254-103100/tulip.vib
3. Download ESXi Customizer from http://www.v-front.de/p/esxi-customizer.html
4. Run ESXi Customizer
5. Load ESXi ISO file in ESXi Customizer
6. Load tulip.vib in ESXi Customizer (downloaded at step 2)
7. Create custom ISO
8. Create New virtual machine in Hyper-v and add custom esxi ISO to this virtual machine
7. Give the new virtual machine 2 virtual processors and 4 GB internal memory
8. Remove NIC and Add legacy Network Adapter to the new virtual machine
9. Start virtual machine
9. Run ESXi installer

Energiedrankjes worden in de markt gezet als oppepper voor lichaam en geest.Uit onderzoek van het Voedingscentrum blijkt dat bijna de helft van de jongeren niets merkt van het zogenoemde stimulerende effect.

Tweederde van de jongeren krijgt zelfs te maken met nadelige effecten van het drinken van energiedrankjes. Ze ervaren klachten, zoals moeilijk kunnen slapen of rusteloosheid.


Dat zijn de belangrijkste resultaten uit een onderzoek in opdracht van het Voedingscentrum, uitgevoerd door onderzoeksbureau Qrius. Het onderzoek werd gehouden onder 766 kinderen van 11 tot en met 18 jaar. Jongeren denken dat energiedrankjes een grotere oppepper geven dan koffie. Dat is een misvatting: in een kopje koffie zit evenveel cafeïne als in een blikje energiedrank (250 ml).

Bijna de helft merkt eigenlijk niets van een opwekkend effect. Ze worden er niet op een positieve manier actiever van. En dat terwijl tweederde van hen wel vervelende klachten krijgt: ze worden druk en hyperactief en kunnen maar lastig de slaap vatten. “Ik kan me niet concentreren en word snel boos”, zegt iemand. “Ik word er best vaak moe van”, meent een andere respondent. Jongeren die meerdere energiedrankjes per dag drinken dan het gemiddelde, zeggen ook meer te maken hebben met deze negatieve effecten. Jongeren kunnen dus beter de drankjes niet drinken met de verwachting een ‘energyboost’ te krijgen.

De onderzoeksresultaten onderschrijven de bestaande adviezen van het Voedingscentrum, om het gebruik van cafeïnerijke producten te matigen. Het Voedingscentrum ontraadt het gebruik van cafeïne voor kinderen onder de 13 jaar. Jongeren tussen de 13 en 18 jaar wordt aangeraden om de consumptie van cafeïnerijke producten zoals koffie en energiedrankjes te beperken tot maximaal 1 consumptie per dag.

VMWare Workstation 11.x to Hyper-V 2008(R2)/2012(R2) (VMDK to VHD)

Recent i had to move virtual machines from VMWare Workstation 11.x to Microsoft Windows Server 2012R2 Hyper-V. This is a .VMDK to .VHD conversion tasks.

I started searching on the internet and could not found what i wanted.
I want to stand-alone convert virtual machines and not any tools
that you start from Vcenter server or Hyper-V server. I did not want to
use any plug-in either.

I found a way to do this.
I works fine !
All VM's are spinning on my Hyper-V Core server with no problems

Preperations:
Step 1. VMWare VCenter Converter
Download from: http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/
Install on your computer

Stap 2. StarWind Software V2V
Download from: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-converter-download
Install on your computer

The actual conversion steps:

Step 1.
Write down the virtual networks you created in VMWare Workstation
and create them in Hyper-V.
Bridged = external
Local = Private

Step 2.
Write down the virtual machine settings in VMWare Workstation 11.x
- CPU cores etc.
- Number of harddisks
- Harddisk size

Step 3.
Start VMWare Vcenter Converter
Import virtual machine from VMWare Workstation 11.x
Convert it into a VMWare Workstation 8.x virtual machine
Do not be scared if it says that it takes one hour to convert.
Mostly it is ready after 15 - 20 minutes.
Do not try to convert ESXi VM's. They are not going to work on Hyper-V !

Step 4.
Start StarWind V2V Convert
Open your VMWare Workstation VMDK file from the previous step
and convert it in a Virtual PC dynamic disk
We are going to use only the virtual disk and not the settings from the VM.

Step 5.
Create a new virtual machine in Hyper-V
and select the disk you created in step 2
Do not worry about iSCSI in VMWARE en IDE in Microsoft.
It works fine
Select dynamic memory while creating this new virtual machine

Step 6.
Start the VM in Hyper-V
First it has to install some things

Step 7.
Log in into the VM with a local account
Do not use any AD DS domain account at this moment
The best way is to login with the local administrator account

Step 8.
Uninstall VMWare Tools if installed
Install Microsoft Hyper-V Integration Services in to the VM (this updates)
Check the Windows Activation and take action if needed
