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.

Stupid moderators.
DO NOT CLICK ON THAT OVERRATED LINK.
[stupid lameness filter]

Ok, did anyone else get linked to a site that merely said "Hey everybody, I'm looking at gay porno?"
Mod this down. Some of us are at work!
Umm, anyone who marked that informative obviously
didn't bother to check the links. thanks guys!
WARNING! the link above is a troll link! do not use
Dude, that's not even funny.
Mod the parent of this thread down instead of modding it up assuming its a google cache. ITS NOT!
my first first post, thank ya! thankyaverymuch! I'm here all week!
Thanks for the porn.
That's not google...
Warning!! That is NOT the cache. DON'T CLICK IT!!!
you are still a piece of shit
I think if you save up karma you can actually post something at "+2" right off the bat in exchange for that karma.
That's probably what happened here.
Earlier this week it was a supposed "hardware guru" website that had an article about high performance web servers, and now it's "linuxguru" that gets Slashdotted. I can personally say that if you can't set up a server to take a Slashdotting, I put no stake whatsoever in what they have to say. If you can't set up a server to handle a spike in traffic, then you really don't know what in the hell you're talking about when it comes to server hardware/software.
I hardly think linuxguru.net runs on IIS.
And for no added cost to Apple you get:
(1) A Bigger charge on your credit card.
(2) Less fun hardware to play with.
(3) Only Aqua on your desktop.
(4) A single button mouse. Like you really used those other two.
(5) To pay for the next bug fix. Just like Windows.
Not tell me again why I would want a Mac?
Above link is not cubicle safe!
got me on that one.
Looks like you nailed a lot of people with that one (not me fortunately). Looks like you managed to get some slashbots twice!
Excellent work!
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...
Here ya go:
Get A Real Dictionary. Real language geeks own a copy of the OED.
Anyone who clicked that link didn't bother to engage their brain today. Since when do Google links not say [google.com] after them, or contain other website addresses in the middle?
I bet she nearly had a heart attack. She'll probably take you to the priest tonight to get blessed/exorcised/baptized/buggered. Have fun!
You stupid retarded fuck, My mother is in the same room.
That's your fault, not his.
Actually, that post was a troll. I know he used the word "virii" just for fun...
May be a new word - virii - plural from virus (computer virus) ?
Ya right. Who the hell setup their crappy web system.... If it can't handle getting slashdotted then it's crap. Linuxguru should think about changing their name to wesuck.com
> I think if you save up karma you can actually post something at "+2"

This surprised me the first time it happened. I posted something, and
then I got the message that it had been moderated +1, and was now
scored 3. I went, "huh?" because previously my posts had started out
at 1.
Cut that out, or I will ship you to Norilsk in a box.
Start a courtcase against slashdot then..
Try telling that to the Lindows developers.
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.
..then Wine ain't done.

Life is like pants... fit in or you don't fit in.
Yes, but does it run in a new Sharp's Glass Computer?
Boooooooo!
Check populicio.us
Correct usage
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!

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.
