  1. Re: Alice on Windows Games On Linux · · Score: 2

    The framerates on most games are equal to the Windows versions, and in some cases actually higher. Alice is an exception because it uses an astronomical number of mutexes. There are literally tens of thousands of locks per frame. TransGaming is working on a solution for this but it will require an overhaul of Wine's mutex handling.

  2. Re: Insightful? on Game Boy Advance Arrives · · Score: 1
    "Nintendo begins shipping its next-generation handheld game ... a 90 percent share of the portable game market ... it is the first to have a horizontal alignment"

    There is no prior reference to the words 'Game Boy' in the body. Though you may know what it means, the statement is incorrect as it stands.

  3. Hrm... on New Star Trek Series Rumblings · · Score: 4

    So this would be Star Trek, the 0th Generation?

  4. Re:It may seem small... on Gnutella "Virus" Roams · · Score: 1

    It is not the first.

  5. Nothing new here, move along please. on Gnutella "Virus" Roams · · Score: 2

    This is exactly like the previous VBS gnutella worm, except that it's an executable this time. See a June 2000 ZDnet story and this old Slashdot thread for more information.

  6. Re:People won't pay... on Napster Offers $1B For Music-Swapping Rights · · Score: 3

    You'd be amazed how many rich suburban kids use Napster for the convenience, not because they don't want to pay. If anything, paying would make them feel better about downloading the music. I should know, I'm one of them.

  7. Re:Develop programs for Windows on Run Gnome -- On Windows · · Score: 1
    > what is preventing people from developing a free GUI toolkit for the Windows?

    Nothing is. You might try GTK+ for Windows, available from the Win32 GIMP site. Or if you prefer scripting languages, try Tcl/Tk on Windows.
