  1. Re:I had a similar idea.... on Google Can Predict the Flu · · Score: 1

    Delaware can be verified. (catch a plane, yada yada)

    Belief systems, I think, work as a network of trust.. and you should trust those who are rational, and reality based. Once you start thinking this way, you start giving more weight to folks that care about reality. thats why I'll listen to scientist rather than the pope.

    The existence of Loch ness has not been shown in any conversation (that I know of) that had a basis in observed reality. Same goes for God, and the dog's sixth sense hypothesis.

    Theres a lot of anecdotal evidence for God and Loch Ness monster.. I don't believe in any of these for the same reason.

    To GP: Thinking about it, can you name one mainstream Linux app (heck, even a non-mainstream app) that you can run on Linux but not on opensolaris?

    Are you a troll or woefully uninformed? VLC, Mplayer, etc run flawlessly on opensolaris (I'm using them on belenix).. and have had no issues whatsoever. look for the packages in the belenix or blastwave's repository.

  10. Why no lawsuits? on New "MP3 100% Compatible" Logo For DRM-Free Music · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've wondered about why no one is sued for using LAME> My theory is that almost everyone has licensed rights to MP3 patents if they have ever:

    *Bought windows
    *Bought am MP3 player
    *Bought a music playing software
    *.. etc.

    I think most of us have paid F/T multiple times for the rights to MP3.. thus they wouldnt really stand a chance in court in proving that a person used MP3 encoder without rights.

    Of course, IANAL, and my understanding of this is very naive.

  15. Re:(Open) Solaris on Inside VMware's 'Virtual Datacenter OS' · · Score: 1

    I wrote an article for osnews that talks about Devzones we're using with the Nexenta project. Basically, we have a machine setup and give out normal user accounts. The user can login and run 'devzone_create' and a virtual instance of the OS is created (take a couple seconds) and the user can enter it as root and do anything (even rm -rf). Once he's done using the zone, he can run devzone_free and the virtual OS vanishes.

    We have around 8 instances running right now, used by various developers. The article is here.
