Well, I can't fix the first one, but make a script for running wine.
use xrandr to get the screen size run wine reset it after wine has finished.
Same idea for the mouse, use xsetpointer I think you give it the device name in/etc/X11/XF86...
'And programs that rely on some particular timing charasteristics of the scheduler are buggy. They will randomly fail on any system, especially when it comes under load.'
They seem to work under windows, the wine problem looks like an ordering or synchronisation problem.
I don't care what you say Hurd i many ways it is far superior architecture to Linux. For some applications, especially embedded devices, real-time applications or applications requiring near zero downtime or enhanced security Hurd in it's current state is better than Linux in it's current state.
Stop trolling, unless you can point me to a Symbian desktop that runs on x86.
n.b. the Hurd 'kernel' isn't really it's the Mach microkernel with some boltons.
Screw windows Linux scheduler under 2.6 doesn't work like the one in 2.4, the 2.6 scheduler makes it's own WRONG mind up about what priorities things should have.
As for the priority rubbish your spouting, try editing MMTIMER to boost the priority and then running wine as root. (I'll send you a patch if you want?)
Regardless of windows the 2.6 kernel 'changes' things and the user cannot prevent it from doing so.
I thought I should add, the reason people immediately associate "discipline" with "punishment" is because as you say.... "yet the boys are amongst the best behaved children anywhere. "
You've associated 'good' behaviour with 'discipline', people just like you will associate lack of discipline with 'bad' behaviour, that needs 'correcting', and correcting someone is deemed to be punishment.
hmm... now why doesn't mmtimer work under wine properly... because the Linux kernel scheduler keeps messing around with it's priority and there's nothing the user can do except rm -rf/usr/src/linux and installing a 2.4 kernel.
kdutz can be also be a pain at times, and having to recompile/modify a driver because kernel 2.6.10 has slightly different memory management from 2.6.5 causes still more problems.

' Children need discipline. Give a kid a good library and a net connection, and he'll at best read slashdot. AIM and chat rooms will take up the rest of his or her time.'
I read disciplining, where is said discipline.
and disciplining is generally taken as 'punishment' (because that's the easy option) I hope as Scout leader you made the task fun and interesting and didn't shout.
Children don't need 'discipline' they just need the correct kind of encouragement (and no that's not hitting them with an iron stick).
'Give a kid a good library and a net connection, and he'll at best read slashdot. AIM and chat rooms will take up the rest of his or her time.' I can think of a hundred more things interesting on the Internet, like Neo pets etc....
First encourage kids to read and daydream, then when they are in chat rooms they'll be thinking about things (and probably learning).
Then once they've found out the kind of near psychosis you can get into with a good book or mental visualisation of an idea they'll be hooked like heroine junkies, and I can see how much discipline a heroine junkie needs.
First: Tutored learning is vastly more efficient than giving someone a book. This is why my physics teacher was useless, he just gave us a book and said do all the questions on page x-y.
Second: To be good at self learning you need a hell of a lot more than 'the basics of reading, writing and maths', well unless you want to work the checkout at a shop. Do you expect me to look up every word with more than two syllables in a dictionary or thesaurus, spend 6 months trying to work out what a dx/dy is supposed to mean, and then getting it wrong.
How about interacting with people, you'll have kids who keep getting thumped because they can't read emotions.
dsounsd and mmtimer are broken in the current incarnation of wine (only with the 2.6 kernel I think?). This is because the kernel tries to give them a higher priority, which screws things up because they need a more constant priority.
Blame the 2.6 kernel for trying to be too clever in a way that cannot be disabled.

However, it is not true that Wikipedia in general has either a bias or an agenda (outside of the agenda of providing a good, accurate and neutral encyclopedia).

Well, in my original comment I said It only takes 13% of Americans believe that Creationism and evolution should be taught as 'scientific theories' in science class; 16% of Americans believe that only Creationism should be taught; or 20% of Americans believe public schools should teach evolution only;
to unbalance the article.
and you said.
I think you misunderstand the purpose of "reference material". It's not always to favour one POV over another.
I can only assume that you misunderstood and I didn't. If something isn't a fact it is only based on a POV. It would be very hard to argue that Creationism is a fact and a study shows 80% of Americans aren't sure so I would expect any article in an encylopedia that mentions Creationism have other points of view linked to the article.
