Wine hackers the world over congregated in snow-covered Minneapolis to talk shop and try and locate the magic bullet to make Wine better, faster. Cheers!"

  1. Re:try and locate the magic bullet.. by rokzy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    the version of wine I have (quite new) requires that I have a windows partition with everything installed there.

    and then it says it might ruin it, so recommends copying the whole thing.

    I'm not trying to flame/troll, but this doesn't seem like "emulation" to me... "MS Windows Emulator*!!!!"

    *MS Windows required.

    I guess the problem is MS copyrights meaning they can't just distribute the required files? or even attempt to reverse engineer?

  2. I just love the pictures. by NineNine · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I love the pictures. They're so painful, they're great. It's like watching a train wreck. I can't resist. A dozen of so uber-dorks in a tiny room, hunched over their laptops, building a product that what few people actually do use, use for free. It's soooo sad, I just love it.
