If you get the following error while trying to run Tomcat instance in VMWare on Windows Vista/7/8, the solutions are presented underneath.

1. Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Server\tomcat\bin (or where you have installed VMWare)
2. Right Click on tomcat6.exe and click on Properties
3. Change Compatibility mode to -> Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
4. Change Privilege Level -> Check the box 'Run this program as an administrator'

Test it now.

If it does not work, add privilege to the current user using the following steps.

1. Go to the same location and open the properties page of tomcat6.exe
2. Go to 'Security' tab
3. Click add button
4. Find the user you want to give privilege to
5. Click Ok
6. Tick all boxes in the Allow column.
7. Click Apply -> Ok

Incase this did not work, do the same thing to the file 'tomcat6w.exe' located at the same directory as tomcat6.exe (C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Server\tomcat\bin)

Why would an engineer want to work at Google instead of Facebook?

As an engineer who worked at both:

• Personally, I believe that Google works on bigger and more important ideas/projects than Facebook. I think it can have more positive impact on humanity in general.
• Google's engineering culture is not "move fast and break things": things get done more slowly but in general designed, coded and tested much cleaner/better. This might fit well to some people better.
• At Facebook, you typically write PHP. At Google, you typically write any of Java/JS/Python/C++. These are more widespread (and in my opinion, better) languages than PHP.
• Google has more restaurants than Facebook : )
• Breadth of product line is much bigger at Google.
• Google has a much better research department. In fact, Facebook doesn't have one.
• Google has much more learning opportunities (a lot of courses, codelabs, much better documentation and stricter code review)

"A man is smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke rings into the air. His girlfriend becomes irritated with the smoke and says, “Can’t you see the warning on the cigarette pack? Smoking is hazardous to your health!” 
To which the man replies, “I am a programmer. We don’t worry about warnings; we only worry about errors.”"
