  1. Re:NOT a compatibility list on Wine Goes 64-Bit With Wine64 · · Score: 1

    OK, then anything listed as "Platinum" qualifies. Assuming they've been accurately classified by the people using them, anyway.

    The page linked to is a directory of applications, and their level of compatibility. The appdb is not a binary "compatible"/"not compatible" list like I guess you want, and it also acts as a wish list.

    You can find what you seem to be looking for here, though: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&sTitle=Browse+Applications&iappVersion-ratingOp0=5&sappVersion-ratingData0=Platinum&sOrderBy=appName&bAscending=true

  2. Re:NOT a compatibility list on Wine Goes 64-Bit With Wine64 · · Score: 1

    No -- it is both a compatibility list. If you click on any of the apps listed, you will see the degree to which it is compatible. "Platinum" means "fully compatible", which is apparently your requirement for a compatibility list.

    you seriously consider the Command & Conquer series to be both newer, and original?

    You realize that it started in 1995 (not new) and has been running for that long (not original)

    Launchpad? Hah, that's a good one. While they don't mod you as troll there, they certainly do ignore the problem.

    I hate to break it to you, but Newman's Own is a brand. Not generic.

    As far as I know, that is no longer the case.

  7. Re:Forgive me on Fraud Threat Halts Knuth's Hexadecimal-Dollar Checks · · Score: 1

    Would it help if the word "pennies" were used instead of "cents"? As far as I can tell, it has no connotation of "hundredth".

  8. Re:Stupid Question on Computers Causing 2nd Hump In Peak Power Demand · · Score: 1

    Not even close. If you're replacing a 27" 4:3 display, a 33" 16:9 display will give you the same size picture.

    A 42" 16:9 display is equivalent to a 34" 4:3 display.

    If you're comparing area (less useful), the difference is even less: 27" 4:3 is equivalent to 28.5" 16:9. 42" 16:9 is equivalent to 39.5" 4:3.

  9. Re:is that still around? on Users Rage Over Missing FireWire On New MacBooks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No, it's the other way around. A shark with fins but no teeth can still get to you and possibly injure you just with its jaw strength.

    A shark with teeth but no fins can't really move and I believe will drown before too long. So it can't get to you at all, but those teeth still look pretty scary.

    All of it, including physical access, is "just" a matter of determination and resources.

    Definitely. And that requires revoking the second problem. Which is what I said in my initial response.

  14. Re:Will they become the new RIAA? on Artists Strive To Wrest Rights From Music Industry · · Score: 1

    I know you were kidding, but air rushing towards a vacuum does make a noise. And that noise does propagate in the rapidly- or gradually-thinning air.

  15. Re:When will we have web based voting on Linux-Based E-Voting In Brazil · · Score: 1

    There are many third parties to choose from, yes. But being able to choose from among many third parties of trust is not the same thing as "no third party of trust".

    Furthermore not everyone has sufficient mathematical background to understand crypto, nor trusts someone who does.

  16. Re:When will we have web based voting on Linux-Based E-Voting In Brazil · · Score: 1

    Any cryptographic system would automatically revoke the second one, because the understanding of the system must be entrusted to a third party.

  18. Re:Carlos + Yankovic. on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    I don't really agree with the nonsense to which you refer, but I do agree with people's right to be referred to by whatever name and sex they prefer.

    My only problem in this case is when people want to "backdate" the change. Sorry, but the "Clockwork Orange" soundtracks were released by Walter Carlos. Just because she changed her name after that doesn't undo those releases.

    Of course, that still means that "It'd be nice if Weird Al teamed up with Wendy Carlos again..." is correct, since that was in 1988, well after the change.

    I think you're expecting this feature to do what you want, instead of what its meant to do. Its stated purpose is to prevent the local computer from keeping track of what you've browsed.

    Just because it doesn't do what you want to do doesn't mean that it's not useful.
