WINE: A New Place for KLEZ to Play?
An anonymous submitter sends in this cautionary tale about Wine being maybe a little too good at emulating Windows. Update: 10/23 21:05 GMT by M : Better links: mirror 1, mirror 2.

Umm, anyone who marked that informative obviously
didn't bother to check the links. thanks guys!
Warning!! That is NOT the cache. DON'T CLICK IT!!!
Most people don't understand that just throwing more computing power at the daemon doesn't help. Apache does not come in a default configuration that is ready for heavy use production. The default config is pretty conservative, to prevent it from crashing the whole OS.
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
Makes it seem kind of unnecessary to have obliterated their server -- could have posted the same "Don't click on that link!" and "The plural of 'virus' is 'viruses', buttmunch!" posts without it. ;-)
What I'm listening to now on Pandora...
If you go to webster [webster.com]
you'll easily find that plural from virus is viruses...
You will find nothing of the sort, since webster doesn't list a plural form of "virus". "Virii", which is correct according to the rules of the english language, is not listed at all, and "viruses" produces the page for "virus", not "viruses".
If you're going to play spelling nazi, you need to start checking your sources a little better.
Under capitalism man exploits man. Under communism it's the other way around.
I can buy a more expensive x86 based system than Apple makes -- SONY and IBM are too good examples. If you want to be a cheap, go ahead. But its probably the reason you are not hittin' it often...if at all. Chicks dig a phat wallet not a fat ass.
(2) Less fun hardware to play with.
How would you know? If you never played with it because you are too cheap to own one. I play around with Mac hardware all the time. Overclocking, case mods, etc.
(3) Only Aqua on your desktop.
I also have Graphite, KDE and Gnome as choices on my desktop in Mac OS X. Do you even know what you are talking about?
(4) A single button mouse. Like you really used those other two.
My Kensington Turbo Mouse has 5 buttons along with a scroll wheel on it. Where do you get this one-button mouse only idea? Guess you never used Mac OS X before.
(5) To pay for the next bug fix. Just like Windows
I get free updates when they are available. Where do you get this idea? Have you ever used Mac OS X?
Not tell me again why I would want a Mac?
You can actually get something done and run UNIX at the same time?
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Yes, but does it run in a new Sharp's Glass Computer?
Boooooooo!
Check populicio.us
Dicionary.com does though. As does my OED on CD, though they don't have a free version online I can link to.
"Virii", which is correct according to the rules of the english language
You are very much mistaken. I challenge you to find a dictionary or usage guide that supports you.

Says the pot to the kettle. Even the most basic of research would have led you to a plethora of papers demonstrating your error, such as this one and this one.
You don't have to worry about it if you put norton antivirus discs on the rim of your wine glass as you pour some in. Ahhhh... No more viri in your beverages!
WTPOUAWYHTTOTWPA
What's the point of using acronyms when you have to type out the whole phrase anyways?
wine doesn't skunk... beer skunks when it's left in sunlight due to the hop oils reacting with the ultraviolet radiation.
wine can get bacteria that will turn it into tart vinegar (lacto or acetic), or slimy or whatever, but i've not yet seen a "skunky" wine
Once again. we need a moderator boot camp
or something. Offtopic? gimme a break.
Adjective phrases do not have singular nor plural case.
The message on the other side of this sig is false.
