If it wasnt true, people wouldnt need affirmative action.
Women and Minorities only make between 70-80 percent of the salary of white males. Which means these groups must be more educated and experience than you to make the same amount of money, this is why they like to support Affirmative Action.
I think its time to leave the USA, I mean if things keep getting worse I'm going to leave. When it gets to the point where someone can point the finger and have you raided just because of a filename, something is wrong there.
Maybe if we could get more geeks in Senate we could change the laws. We need some of you slashdot people to run for Senate based on issues we care about.

Transgaming can simply stop working on WineX once the market is big enough and then start selling games.
Game developers will then be forced to port because WineX wont be compatible with directX 10.
"Wine doesn't build a market. The only people switching to Linux because of Wine are those who simply want to stop dual booting Linux and Windows. If you run only Windows, Wine itself provides no reason to switch to Linux. Think about it... "For only $xx.xx a month, you can play the games that ran fine under Windows with only a large amount of hassle in Linux!" You have to pay a monthly fee to play your games and they don't work as well... great deal!"
wrong wrong wrong. I know people who switched to linux just because it plays games. Many people, hardcore gamers and power users claimed to me the only reason they wouldnt leave Windows is because they want to play games, now I tell them their games work in Linux and they have no excuse, they now have linux, plan to get linux or have tried linux. They will never switch until their current games work. So you can talk native ports all you want, if theres no one to buy those games there wont be native ports, you have to get gamers to use linux to play their windows games before you can get those same gamers using linux to play linux games.
Remember, PS2 is backward compatible with PSX for a reason, when PS2 came out there were no PS2 games worth playing, most PS2 owners praised Sony for keeping it backward compatible.

Actually it was both. There was no market because Loki came before KDE was even worth using. Two Loki didnt know how to run a business, you make one or two games, profit, and then move to another game, you port based on demand, you dont port until you run out of money.
It wont become bad. Companies will want a Native port when theres a million people demanding it.
Sure we will use transgaming, but certain games we wont tolerate a transgaming style port. We wont tolerate it for a first person shooter, we wont tolerate it for a 3d based game, gamers like good frame rates and quality and wont buy it if the port is shit. As more people use Linux, less people will use Windows, and the Linux community will gain power.
Also lets not forget the guys who make Transgaming can start making games themselves.

Theres enough Windows users to buy those Native ports using linux.
How do you attract Windows users? With games. You have to start somewhere, you need a market of gamers before you can sell games. Heres how it can work, use WineX to bring tons of new games, get maybe a million gamers to switch to Linux.
Now you have a million linux gamers, little independent Linux development companies can sell games, let the big companies sit on the fence while the little linux companies make plenty of money selling games, and suddenly the big companies will see how much money they could be making and start to port.
This is the only way, you need games to attract gamers, and you need gamers to attract games. So bring games, increased gamers = increased games.

OS/2 only lost because they didnt try. I didnt see a single OS/2 on any computer except for maybe IBMs computers and eventually IBM even took it off their own computers.
So if OS/2 did bad it was because of IBM, I had wanted to get OS/2 Warp and an IBM but the cost was ridiculous, this is why I never purchased it and its the same reason I never owned a mac.
Pianos can be done in synth if you have high quality soundfonts and a good card.

IF you dont have any fans you suck, theres no excuse. Top grossing movies? No instead the top watched/rented movies is a better way to compare.
The movies people watch most, are the best, the movies people never watch suck. Thats how it is, you make music and if people like it they will go to your concerts and be fans, if you suck then of course you'll have no fans and if you have no fans why should you make money?

P.Diddy owns a record company, a clothing line, is a producer, a rapper, an actor. Hes one of the richest men in the world, has hundreds of millions of dollars.
Dr.Dre and Eminem arent even in the same league. The only other person in P.Diddys league is Master P who has even more money with his Record Company, Movie company, clothes, producing, and music.
Dr Dre is just a producer, Eminem is a writer/producer/musician, Dres label aftermath is really owned by a major label, he doesnt even own his masters.
P.Diddy and Master P own 100 percent of their stuff, I think Suge Knight had alot of money too but his money was mostly drug money. Its not normal for some Suge Knight person to come from no where with 100 million dollars to start a record company.
Make it an Opt In thing, if you agree to pay for the (free music) server ISPs offer (sorta like cellphone free nights and weekends service), you become immune to all anti piracy laws and the RIAA leaves you alone, if you dont pay, well then you take your chances.
This makes sense to me, as people who download music alot will have to pay the flat fee and people who dont ever download music wont have to pay.

Their religion tells them to have multiple wives however and brothers take care of each others wife if one dies.

But of course you say they hate open source even when an African in an interview on the radio says they want it.

It depends on the game, certain games can actually be faster than they are in windows, it all depends on the game. Some games will be slower.
What matters is, we will have all the Windows games that matter. This means we win. What I'd like to see transgaming support next is AsheronsCall.
You have the tools to build a linux compatible AsheronsCall here AsheronsCall server emulation
