  1. Most people who want steam on freebsd are already running it in wine.

  2. Re:Why wine? on Wine 3.0 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd give them the cd back, except that it was in the cupholder of my window10 box when it locked up playing starcraft2.

  3. Re:It's the implementation. on Does Systemd Make Linux Complex, Error-Prone, and Unstable? (ungleich.ch) · · Score: 1

    I especially appreciate doing something as simple as pointing to a different nameserver and having systemd decide it needs to drop all open network connections and reinitialize them.

  4. I would have never even noticed on Ubuntu Disputes 'Ads In MOTD' Claims (twitter.com) · · Score: 1

    My .hushlogin is 25 years old.

  5. Re:So pirate? on Netflix Says No To Unlocked Android Smartphones (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    They blocked all of my set top devices. One vendor supplied (Cyphertv) and one I got on Amazon(Globmall), generic android. I already canceled. Not watching from my phone, or tablet. If they learn, I'll think about re upping, If not, it's $12 I'm not spending.

  6. Re: weapons, explosives and intimidation? on Canadian Arrested Over Plans to Test G20 Security · · Score: 1

    Every news agency in Canada?
    Google it... "taser cop drunk driving Robinson"

  7. Re: weapons, explosives and intimidation? on Canadian Arrested Over Plans to Test G20 Security · · Score: 3, Informative

    Even better, one of those fine officers drunk-drove someone to death, left the scene, drank more, came back and is still walking around free.

  8. Re:In a related story... on IOC Claims Olympian Lindsey Vonn's Name As Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Pretty damn close, winter 2010 vancouver olympic winter games. The IOC is just about as evil as it get's.

    On a side note - Tolkien was wrong.
    Five rings to rule them all, five rings to find them,
    Five rings to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

  9. Just as long as ... on Scientists To Breed the Auroch From Extinction · · Score: 1

    the damn thing doesn't start talking to me, I hate that shit.
    It's the reason I'll never go back to Milliways.

  10. Re:HandBrake? on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, handbrake is a front end for the de-facto standard for creating multimedia files... get to know them and you won't care which flavor of the month format is being used. Personally I stopped using handbrake years ago because the developers always seem to be dropping X for some lame reason.

  11. works on What To Do With a Free Xbox 360 Pro? · · Score: 1

    The 360 works fine for my purposes playing media streamed from my FreeBSD box. Not as pretty as the shares coming from the gaming machine using media player 11, but it works and I don't have to think about it. Ushare is the app used for sharing media and it is part of geexbox so I'm sure if you wanted more functionality it would work for you.

  12. Re:What, what? on Prototype Vehicle For the Blind · · Score: 1

    +1 DudeWhere'sMyCar

  13. Re:A Contest? on Opting Out Increases Spam? · · Score: 5, Funny

    No no no, it's not a contest at all.
    The lame stories are being posted to make you complain, thus verifying who actually reads the articles so they can make a list and sell it.

  14. Re:Finally, on Asus Reveals the Eee Keyboard · · Score: 1

    All you need is a cassette tape drive and 40 minute load times to complete the feeling.

  15. Re:Customer Backlash? on Ninth Anniversary of Amazon 1-Click Injunction · · Score: 1

    >I can't imagine I'm the only one who reconsidered Amazon purchases because of things like this.

    Nope, it's been 9 years since I bought anything on Amazon. Can't say I miss it much either.

  16. Re:For those of you using Firefox on linux.... on CodeWeavers Package Google Chrome For Linux and Mac · · Score: 1

    There's also this:
    http://www.arnold.se/chris/2008/09/howto-run-chrome-on-freebsd-70/
    Pretty sure all of the steps are close enough for anyone wanting to run chrome in wine to follow.

  17. Simpsons did it. on Seinfeld-Windows TV Ad Anything But 'Delicious' · · Score: 1

    Err, I mean we already saw this on Robot Chicken.

  18. Re:Wheeeee... wiiiiiiiiii on Wii Gets Custom Firmware, Purported PSP Emulator · · Score: 1

    How simple do you want it? copy some files to your sd card, and play zelda - that's it.
    However if you really need it, there's a windows executable that sets everything up for you.
    Mplayer, geexbox, and dragonmedia are becoming rather useful of late. And with homebrew channel even my kid can mod our wii (and he just graduated from kindergarten today).

    See wiibrew.org for more.

  19. Re:I've been wondering.. on Apple Climbs Into Third Place In U.S. PC Market · · Score: 1

    >when will a project similar to WINE come out for OSX?

    You mean something like WINE?

  21. Re:Security on Buy Vista or Else · · Score: 1

    I can't imagine it has changed much since 1996(ish), but pkg_add -r fxtv ; kldload bktr wasn't too terribly hard back in the day.

  22. wow on Microsoft To Sell Win XP Starter Edition In Russia · · Score: 3, Funny

    and all this time I thought the cold war was over.

  23. Re:OTher Registrars? on Verisign Plans to Revive SiteFinder Advertising 'Service' · · Score: 1

    A few years back the scumbags started spamming me big time. After repeated requests for them to stop
    failed, I moved to gandi.net and added 550's for netsol's ip space to /etc/mail/access.

    Best move I ever made, saved money too.

  24. Simple on Why Do Some CDRs Smell Like Almonds? · · Score: 2

    It's a plot by the RIAA to finally rid themselves
    of those troublesome pirates.
