WineConf 2004 Wrapup

Posted by michael on from the red-white-and-rose dept.

IamTheRealMike writes "Well, the attendants are back home and the writeups have been written - WineConf 2004 is over, and Brian Vincent of Wine Weekly News fame has written a comprehensive account of the conference. 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!"

      You fail it because you actually took the time to decode it. Idiot.

    Just curious. Did anyone at the conference figure out a way to make Wine actually work?

    Isn't "I like the interaction with other Mac users" just a fancy way of saying "I like being fucked in the ass by gay men"?

  5. 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?

    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.
