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!"

    Mods, please ignore this post, it's just a troll. Wine doesn't even have a TCP/IP stack, it (of course) uses the underlying hosts stack, ie the Linux/FreeBSD/Whatever stack. "Wait states for unsupported hardware" is entirely meaningless, Wine does not have hardware support, again that's delegated to the underyling operating system.

    Of course, if the poster can show specific sections of code he feels have "fundamental flaws" and describe them satisfactorily then I'll take my words back.

    Hi, thanks for reading the journal.

    Any posts from this account are part of the Specious Project, which challenges the quality of the Slashdot moderation system by posting plausible-sounding, yet factually inaccurate comments to Slashdot stories.

    Usually a simple Google search will reveal any errors, and anyone moderating Specious Project posts up are reacting only to the sound and tone of authority, rather that the actual content. We try not to talk to those people at parties.
