Codeweavers' CrossOver Plugin Reviewed
Grok writes: "CodeWeavers' CrossOver Plugin allows Linux users to use software and browser plugins that where once only avaliable on Windows. Version 1.0 was released in late August 2001 to much media furvor, while the release of version 1.1 arrived without much fanfare. Despite the lack of attention by the news media, the new version of CrossOver is a more exciting release than the orginal. The reason? Microsoft Media Player Support. Finally, every major plugin on the internet, along with several obscure ones, are now supported under Linux. (Full Story)"
You're gonna call off your negative moderations.
You're gonna publicly state that there is no underground troll network, or these guys are gonna take your first post.
They're gonna first post to "Ask Slashdot" and first post to"Jon Katz Features", goatse.cx style.
Look, the people you are modding down are the people you depend on.
We fix your PCs. We give you disk space.
We connect your help desk calls, we route your network traffic.
We guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us.

it's early - or late - re-read the article after coffee/sleep and you'll see that it addresses QT: standalone is flaky, embedded rocks, and it's "just like Windows" version to the reviewer.

I love this idea.
The use of free software such as Windows Media Player and such makes it funny because what is Microsoft's defense?
Do they say to use their free Windows software such as WMP you need Windows? I've been trying to make this point since the trial started. The OS is the bundleware stupid! It's that tax you pay to stay under the MS umbrella of products.
Get your Unix fortune now!
Propitery? Equilivent? Avaliable? Furvor? Commercal? Instalation? Execlent? Usefull? Acurratly? Unnoticiable? Noticable? Embeded? Prefrences? Imagianable? Opiton?
Yes! On the official screenshots page, they have CmdrTaco's Hamster Havoc animation as a mozilla video plugin demo! Now he's ready for prime time! His liberal arts education has finally paid off!

...the 1.1 version of the plugin also officially supports Chime - a plugin for viewing proteins and molecular structures - perfectly.
Man, I can't tell you how many times I've been cruising through the same old web content hoping to run across a good, viewable protein or molecular structure....
Actually, if I'd had mod points I would have modded you up as informative. Unfortunately all I had on me was a biting wit (or maybe only a half-wit).
