  1. Re:Sweet on Red Hat Pledges 'Integrated Virtualization' · · Score: 1

    and above that, vmware does emulation, not virtualisation.

    vmware emulated all hardware so that you can run every os under it. virtualisation means that the host and the client are almost the very same thing and share almost everything. this is much faster then the emulation approach but also more complicated to implement.

    the disadvantage of virtualisation is that the client will have to be modified.

    and surely there is currently no simple way to do that in linux that I am aware of.

  3. Re:Ughhh..... on Google Windows Apps Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    well, that is actually quite easy to do. :P

    if it is a winelib than they can package it just like a native linux app,
    and if they release a "windows version that runs on wine" they can "bottle" it in an rpm file and "alien" it to deb.

    now you just have to find someone who wants to host it and your set ;)

  4. Well... on Motorola's Linux Phones Frustrate Developers · · Score: 1

    It might be because most people that put linux on small things are people that want to show people that they can do l33t things and are not interested in writing serieus apps. but why doesn't motorola port some linux apps themselves? it shouldn't be to hard for them, and there are plenty of them.

    according to the interview with Jeremy White at http://www.lugradio.org/ codeweavers seems to be doing exactly that. according him it is a bitch to implement because the drm code tries to make it as hard as possible to hide from you what kind of calls it is trying to make.

    couldn't apple sue them back stating that while you they said that you *can* use the ipod to listen to music but that there is nowhere in the manual that you actually *should* do that, and that the device is pretty safe as and that there is no risk as long as the device is not used. and that it was your choice to use it for something they didn't told you to use it and that it is therefore your own fault that you have become bad hearing....

    I myself use office 2000 under codeweavers because, in my experience that one runs best, and 2003 support is pretty new.

    well, faster is always nice, but there are tons of stuff to optimize, so when something is just as fast as in windows, it might not need to get the priority of optimisation for some time since it's already doing ok.

  11. Re:What about going to heaven? on Doctors Claim Suspended Animation Success · · Score: 1

    I always wondered about this kind of thought.

    In general life we always see our body as a thing, the "you" of today is the "you" of tommorow and the "you" of the past, you look in the mirror and say: he! that's me, you look in a picture album and watch your baby pictures and say: he! that's me too!

    but in reality your body is more like a progress. every cell in your body is replaced over and over again in your life. from a biological perspective the body you where born with is not the same (as in: not composed of the same matter) as the body you will die with.

    If we can say that this is the case, then i wonder,
    is there any purpose in having your body resurected?
    will it have to be composed of the same matter that you where origionally composed from? will something that is composed from different matter but in the same "profile" that you where also be you? if not, then what would happen to the people who became people from the same matter that other people where. (cannibalistic people for example are composed of the same matter that the humans who where being eaten where)

    or does god to "snapshots" of people just before they die, so he can "recover" them at the end of days...?

    I always found this mather quite mindbending...
    any insights from the ressurection front?

    depends... 80% survival might still be higher then what you would have got if that bullet stayed in your body a little longer.

    if the chance that you survive a gun bleeding is 15% and this method gives you 65%, then surely it is worth the risk.

    but I agree that they should continue to work on it.

    locking him way for the rest of his life will cost money. the money way works much better. first, this saves the government a lot of money because they do not have to lock him up (and they already don't have that much :p) and second, he will have to explain/tell this to many people for as long as he lives, strongly discuraging them from doing these things. :)

    it's a double sided axe effect :p

    In general the game looks pretty good, I watched a few of them and in general it looks like "yet another hack and slash" party.

    In other words: I don't think it will really offer anything more about other MMORPG other then a different set of terrain...

    The biggest WTF?
    34 The Antichrist:
    The French no vote on the EU constitution has downgraded this category.

    I am not really in this kind of stuff but i think it is most likely because one world government seems to be a requirement for the antichrist. (establishment of a one world order blah blah blah) and because the french voted against the EU constitution the becoming a "whole united world" is going to take a little longer now and the coming of the antichrist is delayed.

    A friend of mine who is a orthodox Christian (or a real moron, your choice) who voted against the constitution for that sole reason.

    well, let me ask you a question in return.

    how will you boot from a filesystem that can only be accessed using a driver/module/fuse thingy that is located on that same filesystem?

    I admit you can do tricks with boot images or a small "startup" partition but that surely isn't much fun.

  23. Re:Reiser4? on Linux Kernel 2.6.14 Released · · Score: 1

    I have a bad feeling that it is quicker for them to rewrite it using fuse that to get it into the mainstream kernel. that said, I think it will end up in the main stream kernel "someday". but I don't think we will see it until the next major kernel release.
