The main problem was that people were downloading the CVS version (which did not contain any of the main features of WineX) and then giving others the wrong idea about WineX, namely that it didn't work. Not to mention, CVS is a developers tool for version control, not a method of mass distribution.
Hardly any games ran with the CVS version at all anyway. You need the commerical version to do anything.
Thats all that Sun box is good for, besides a door stop. Sun couldn't make a decent anything if their life depended on it. Now we have to live with their crappy ass for even longer because they sold their soul to MS.
Who cares about the Windows kernel when there are about 1000 other ways to gain full unmitigated access over a Windows PC. Outlook Express exploits, MSN Messenger exploits, BlackICE exploits, RPC exploits, IIS exploits, IE exploits. You can even root them in masse without even gaining initial access to the box.
This linux exploit allows you to crash the box if you have an account. What moron paying for a shell account is going to do that? Or what type of cracker is going to give himself away simply to crash the box?
I don't get this line. Does it mean that all the packages are old as hell or that its one of the most stable distributions as in uptime? If the latter is the case, I object! Thre are hundreds of distros, who has tested all of them for stability? Not this character I'm sure.
A skilled administrator for any OS will cost more than an untrained administrator. What I find amusing is that many of the local MS training shops cite salary examples in the $76,000 range which is pretty comparable the UNIX range.
I find that amusing myself. I always hear the radio commericals which claim $75,000/year which is about $35,000 more than I would pay an MSCE. I can pay a highschool kid $10/hour to apply patches and reboot machines on weekly intervals, I don't need an MCSE to do that.
In my experience, the UNIX guys come in and know their stuff inside and out and when they don't, they know where to find the answer. They can sit down and configure a complex piece of software they have never seen before because they have a really good grasp of the essential basic computing skills.
If I have some new software I have to run on NT, the guys want special training, support contracts so they can call people to walk them through crap at $100/second, they are in my office every 5 seconds asking me what a subnet mask is and what not and they have MCSE certs. Almost every month one of them is asking for special training meanwhile the UNIX guys talk about how they were up till 2am the night before teaching themselves how to admin Oracle.
Most of the TCO studies cite that to deploy linux, you need competant admins that cost more because they have pesky unwanted skills like security, programming languages, and generally a lot more experience with more complex software packages than an MSCE.
People in this country say when their freedom is eroded, 'That doesn't affect me because I don't do it.'. Maybe most people in China don't care for the same reason.
Some people will call the helpdesk if an icon has moved a quarter inch on their desktop - giving them something that's *completely* different may send Tier 1 costs through the roof;-)

Go to Wine website, download the full change log, and grep for @transagaming.com, then come back here and post an apology.
Do you have green hair and lots of piercings or something?

err, you know those width attributes can be in percentages, you don't need a static width.

Thank you captain obvious.
Sun sucks a big fat one. I don't care who they partner with, MS, SCO, Fujitsu, they are going out of business.
Well, know from Sun's past genius that hardware will definately be free in the future....just like Linux will never be as good as Solaris.

Thats simple. Thats the version of Linux kernel they have licensed from SCO.
Yeah, cuz I'm sure the FSF read that and thought it was a good idea. Good thing you stopped them.
Too bad that has nothing to do with security or insecurity...more like stupidity.

I thought it was really funny....I've never actually looked at an icon and said, "wow, now thats trustworthy."

To bad its Intel. They would have had more power and paid 1/2 as much for opterons.
Thats funny, all the dude can comment about is who gets to convert the new race of aliens.
Its all about the icon baby, all about the icon. As long as that *looks* legit, you know the warez are genuine. bahahaha.

I guess a Mac version won't be too far behind if there will be a Linux version.
Yah biaatch, thats how it should be. Mac behind Linux!
I love me some Linux version. I love it long time.
Now Lars can afford his new gold plated fish tank bar for by the pool now instead of waiting till next week.
I would simply kill those people.
Scott McNealy, is that you? How you doing buddy?
