Devzones, short for development zones, is a type of virtualization found in the Nexenta distribution. It can be used to define a base developer environment, which can be easily cloned many times. These copies can easily be destroyed and recreated.
Devzones are built upon Opensolaris Zones, which are extensions of a chroot-like environment for the entire installed system. In other words, it allows for virtualization of an Opensolaris environment (and variants of Linux), without the performance hit that is generally associated with virtualization.
This article gives a practical introduction into using Devzones.

I'm sure he meant to post this in Thom's rant about modern gaming.
This is a long standing bug in the new version of OSNews it seems. I've seen it happen several times. They have problems with their Web flow getting confused about where you are and where you are trying to post a comment. If I had to guess, (cause I've run into similar problems in my own Web applications), it probably has to do with having multiple tabs or windows open on the same site that are sharing the same session cookie. This can cause race type conditions if you aren't really careful about knowing which tab or window the request came from.
