Transgaming's WineX 2.1 - Supports WarCraft 3
friedmud writes "WineX 2.1 is out on the street, get it at transgaming.com. It boasts, among other things, full support for Warcraft III. Other games now included are: Grand Theft Auto 3, Civilization III, and Black and White. Check the press release for further info. And, if you haven't already, go here to get an account... It is definitely worth it." I've been rebooting my laptop to
WC3, so maybe I'll give this a shot. I bought a subscription originally
in part due to their misleading Sims compatibility claims, but this looks like
it finally is truly emulating top windows games.
Then cough up the 5 bucks per month for a subscription, and vote to have them work on Quicken.
It's in dictionaries because it's commonly [mis]used. Look it up on dictionary.com and they have a little paragraph debating whether or not it's real. First off, by the standards of English, it's absolutely pointless to have an ir- prefix with a -less suffix. It's a double negative. It probably began as a mis-informed combination of the words "disregardless" and "irrespective" In educated circles, it's considered a faux-pas indicitive of someone who is trying to sound like they have a larger vocabulary than they really do. note: disregardless is a word because "disregard" is a word. having said this, i'm changing my sig pretty soon, it's basically an open invitation for people to comment on my (frequent and admitted) spelling errors. but the point remains: virii isn't a word. ask any doctor. it was made up by computer guys who wanted to sound smart by making a -us word plural with an -i, but english isn't consistant with pluralization words (and the latin word virus' plural isn't even viri or virii, it's virus) of course, english sometimes accepts malapropisms into the general vocabulary. woodrow wilson coined the term "normalcy" when he misspoke in a famous speach. i'm worried thate W. could pull a similar gramatical innovation.
