Some things are never going to get ported to native.
No one is telling you to run this, it's just a "nice to have"
I am fully with you on the native thing though. I dual boot for those things that are Win32 only (mostly bios tools but 1 or 2 games too and of course AVG and Spybot) and I run no Wine.
It helps me to remember that I shouldn't support Windows only stuff too. I tend to use windows stuff extremely briefly so I can get back to familiar territory.
There are even better reasons when it comes to business though.
I support a whack load of winputers and let me tell you this, I am now thinking of just giving them all a linux box with VMware on it. Then they will actually be adminable (through VM image manipulation). I toyed with the idea a long time ago, but now it's looking like the only solution.
It may cost a bit but my clients pay by the hour and every time I re-re-image a windows box is money out of their pockets wastefully.
(and if you have a comment about why they need to reimage so often, you either don't know traders or the executives that hire them. Think Carte Blanch, no policy is enforcable for the employee who brings in the bread. )
Probably true except that even writing for windows today (on windows) is a moving target.
The beauty of Wine is that it's not officially supported by any large companies. but is aiming at a stable target. See MS cannot really just break their API to spite Wine anymore. Wine isn't shooting for longhorn compatibility, it's shooting for ~ win2k compatibility.
IBM at the time was supposed to be getting windows compatibility from MS, but instead got the shaft (ungreased).
I would think that OS/2 (and it's windowsy bits) are more of a show stopper, IBM having seen some old Windows code once upon a time.
Slashdot Mirror
hmmm. doesn't sound too bad.
A tripod like device that folds up (is lightwieght) and fits in a DTR pc bag.
I would get one if the price point $20 CAD
(hint, aluminium tubing sounds about right)
I've seen many sillier products on the TV at night.
" from encouraging religious maniacs with guns, rockets and holy books so they can fight proxy wars"
can you be more specific?
domestic or abroad?
if only.
At least then liberals (as they are painted, not as they are) would be up in arms over it.
it's simple really.

In three separate packages costing $30 three times.

I so hope you are wrong because I really want the Sledgehammer season 1 and 2 on 1 disk (for continuity
I believe the word you are looking for is

Insensitive Clod!!!
You Sir, have obviously NEVER tried to jack off in an internet cafe
They hang you for that in some places.
smile when you say that in Spanish, Pardner
actually what he has done is a better deal.
easydns (not his isp) is doing the mail filtering and relaying for him.
so he pays for bandwidth, and pays for dns hosting + mail goodies.
Bandwidth is only usd for what gets by the filter.
If you are hosting a domain for yourself this is a good way to keep the bandwidth costs down.
bollocks = testicles (balls)
It was a recurring theme throughout the piece
no mod points .
You would have got +1 funny.
It's a sign of the times my friend.
Even mod points are becoming extinct.
Damn global warming
Oh guis have their place.
But does anyone ADMIN apache with a gui?
good one.
But really, Is there a server that really benefits from a gui.
Isn't a text config preferred by ALL admins?
Windows Admins? Remember being able to use a logon script to actually do stuff?
And pelease don't mention windows scripting host. That is the most non intuitive device I have ever seen.
A script is a set of commands. On their own the commands should do work.
= all 7 of them.
It's a connected globe.
If they think mon-fri is going to work. they will learn some new feelings about the weekends.
or an "imagination" for the Grammar Nazis (go GNs, Go)
here here!! (or is it Hear Hear? I can never remember).
and also, there are very few (any?) server apps that would benefit from a gui.
I don't really have an imigination but I cannot think of one off hand.
anyone?
Don't worry Reverand.
They will be there, they'll just be portrayed as aliens (yes illegal ones)
fair enough.
but why the hate for cannabis users?
news flash:
elevators don't run on guinea pig droppings. All modern elevators (excepting perhaps the Space Elevator) run on ONLY electricty.
Did I miss something here?
..."knowing that you were smoking sinse in 4th grade instead"...
"sinse"? As in sensimilla? Meaning no seeds?
I am having trouble following your lesson due your to use of misspelled slang.
go a little further.
You will need identification to take transit at all.
and transit will be all there is.
When oil is scarce, do you think you'll actually be buying any directly?
You forgot the word "first"
It's not like congress is actually going to go along with the judge on this one.
The tv and movie people will hopefully kill themselves (meaning banctruptcy) over this.
From the ashes will rise a new entertainment industry.
Well one can dream a little.
But the part about the flag being there come July? Well that was just reality.
I for one DO NOT welcome our new CorporateMediaPizzaConglomerateRainyDay Overlords.
And there were a HELL OF LOT of us.
this was when kids of age 10-14 could still go to the saturday matinee unescorted.
I saw Empire 3 times on the day it came out.
Wish I could remember what the ticket (1,une,uno) price was. bet it was under $2.00 ($CAD)
Driver updates show up in Windows Update
(not that the average user runs this either)
