  1. Re:Experiences with Crossover on CrossOver Plugin 1.0 Demo Version · · Score: 1

    6.2 now... you should, because it's really a great browser, and if you're feeling particularly adventurous, give Mozilla a try. You won't regret it.

  2. Re:I dunno.... on CrossOver Plugin 1.0 Demo Version · · Score: 1

    It's attitudes like this that are holding back Linux in the mainstream.

    Some people want a free OS and want to buy quality applications with a company behind them to support them... Or take fault when your company invests time and energy and then something breaks.

    You can have your cake and eat it to. Don't complain when someone come out with a closed source app for Linux. Go Codeweavers!

  3. What's the matter with KDevelop? on The Waning of the Overlapping Window Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    With KDevelop, at least with recent versions, you have the option of using frames or tabs, or stupid GIMP-like windows (I think)

    Anyway, my point is that you aren't forced to use frames...

  4. Duh... on InfoWorld says WinXP much slower than Win2K · · Score: 1

    Also just in, Windows XP slower than DOS. I don't want to sound like a troll here, but does this suprise anyone? Duh... They don't go for speed updates in thier new releases. It works that way in the Linux world too. KDE 1.x vs 2.x comes to mind. WinXP needing more resorces than its predecessors? I can't believe it! Yes, it's incredible bloat-ware, but the fact that MS does this shouldn't be a shock to anyone. What is a joke is the minimum requirement of 64MB of RAM. Win2k needed at least 192 if you planned on opening more than 3 apps at once. uugh... MS sucks.

  5. Re:A Better Alternative on OSNews Interviews WINE's Alexandre Julliard · · Score: 1

    Yes, I think that the linux kernel should be re-written as an MS-DOS batch file.

    That would be the kewl-est!

  6. Wine Database on OSNews Interviews WINE's Alexandre Julliard · · Score: 3, Informative

    He mentions the Wine database at http://appdb.codeweavers.com Please, everyone... If you play with wine and get something working or find any littler qwirks that might help others..

    Contribute to the database!

  7. Re:Let me get this straight... on BBC's Water Rocket-Vehicle Contest · · Score: 1

    Anonymous Cowards will be treated as such.

  8. Re:Forgot the 2nd law on Body Powered Batteries -- Thermoelectrics · · Score: 1

    sink the extra heat? the artificial heart would pull energy out of your body and convert it to electrical energy. It wouldn't produce more heat... Where would that energy come from? If anything, you'd just have a cold chest all the time. Anyway... I don't know how feasible such a large heat powered device would be, at 98.7 degrees or whatever your body is at, I don't know how much energy it could pull without screwing up your body. What would be cool is a machine that could power itself the same way your heart does... ATP and electron chains n' stuff. I don't claim to be an expert on it, but I don't think that being powered by "bodyheat" is going to produce that much current.
