Well - so do a quick google on US government and Google and you will see what its all about. They don't have to censor anything because they don't care. Nothing you (citizens) can do about it. ( I don't know who "they" are BTW). Look at the results and the dates, use some common sense, then connect the dots. Don't listen to Beck, make up your own mind. Do you ever wonder why Google "gives" away a great email service with lots of storage. Hmm - Google , the king of search, lots of storage.... Marketing, yes, that's obvious. What else? Again , you have to put it together.

They either did not know the definition of a placebo OR the folks in the study are so brain washed as to what they believe (or should believe) can not be shaken even when the truth is told to them. - this is pretty scary. You could apply this thinking to the 2008 US presidential elections- even with known facts (and gaps in facts) about candidates, folks believe what they wanted and elected an questionable individual. This should be exciting news for future politicians - that folks are basically sheep and can "engineered" into whatever vote they see fit. Now the real question is how did folks get that way???

Absolutely, a lot of folks can be conned. Look at all the folks who voted for Obama in 2008.

damn straight, skippy Problem is most folks don't care- if they lose all their music on their puter, they just repurchase. I have spoken to folks till I'm blue in the face and they shrug and say, wtf? And that is what the folks behind DRM want- consumers not to understand and think "well, that the way its supposed to work." The general population has been brainwashed and become comfortable with the idea of being followers and told what to do. How else would sheeple willingly give up half their income in taxes and just whimper about how they don't like it! DRM won't go away until folks get up off their ass and do something beside just bithin.

ESX is the vmkernel. This is the virtual piece. It runs a so called compatibility layer for the Linux drivers. "VMkernel drivers are modified Linux drivers, even though the VMkernel is not a Linux variant" I would take it, that the vmkernel is based on Linux. It uses Linux drivers. This comes from VMWare's own site find out for yourself. just search for "vmkernel linux" on the vmware KB and you will find all sorts of these type references.
