They said they would realease the code when they reached 20,000 subscribers not once they had enough money. Last I heard they had 3,000 or 4,000 subscribers. Also the Wine license has changed since they made that promise.
As far as I know Everquest runs fine under the latest version of Transgaming's WineX. It stopped working when EQ went to DX9 but I think they have all the problems ironed out now.
In defence of the article "lame free-shell provider" is presented in quotes, it's not the website or the author using the term. It's a quote from the perpetrator. There's no connection to open source.
This desktop user's experience is that over time Linux (I use Xandros) is indeed more solid than XP. I've used both over long periods and the stability nod definately goes to Linux. Windows XP is generally faster though.
According to the abstract fires would have begun wherever there was available fuel. Wouldn't there be a world-wide charcoal layer to go along with the Iridium layer if that were true?
>Or is part of your opinion that if you don't like it, no one else should watch it either?
Some people wrap up too much ego into their opinion. Which comes out as wishing for cancellation of shows they claim they don't watch. I stopped going to the Trek Today boards because of this kind of nonsense. The hatred of Enterprise there was almost pathological.
Funny, Mandrake is forced into a name change even though the claim is from an entirely different and unrelated field and yet Apple was able to call their Mac operating system "OS 9" even though there was a pre-existing Operating system from Microware called "OS-9".
>The consensus on rec.video.satellite.dbs seems to be that weather really doesn't affect image quality
That may be the consensus but it's certainly not universally true. Severe weather, and I'm talking deluge quality rain or really thick snow laden clouds, can definately affect your image quality, sometimes severely. I've had Direct TV go completely offline because of cloud cover. It's rare, but it does indeed happen.
Professor Arpad Elo invented the Elo rating scale for chess many a decade ago. It definately covers a "ranking system that indicates a player's proficiency in said game."
There other rating scales in use even before that.
But they didn't just miss a release date. They said for a year that the Linux version would be released at the same time, in the same box, as the Windows version.
A week before release date they changed that to the Linux client being available 'soon'. Reasonable expectation is that when they said it would be available soon, that they meant soon. In actuality it appears that serious work on the Linux client didn't even *begin* until the programmers got back from a two week vacation following the release of the windows version.
If that's a missed release date then it's the Mother of all missed released dates, a veritable Kraktoa of a missed release date.
I disagree. Saying the Linux client would be out "soon" when it apparently hadn't even started development was a bad faith manipulation to get Linux folks to buy the Windows version expecting that they'd have the Linux client shortly.

Sounds like you want Xandros.

I'm filing a patent for my revolutionary "TV in the Bedroom" concept!
Excepting of course that WineHQ dosen't play any of the games that I use WineX for. So, no it isn't better.
>Anyone having concrete numbers of the subscription goals? 20,000
No, it's not true. I just downloaded and installed from CVS, and cvswinex works just fine.
DIdn't they release thier entire 2D Direct Draw system back to wine?

A palm is just as much a PDA as a Pocket PC.

Has any self-regulating market ever worked to the benefit of the public? I've yet to see or hear of one.

Microware sued and lost, so yeah they cared.
I'll neven understand the law.
Completely, totally and absolutely not true.
Have you actually used WineX? I use it to run Everquest and I can assure it's anything but slow, let alone very slow.

If you need a week to configure a game in winex then you're too braindead to play it anyway.

You're saying when someone is lied to it's thier fault for believing the lie? That's hardly a defense for the liar is it?
The burden of wrong doing is on the originator of the lie not the people lied too.
I disagree. Saying the Linux client would be out "soon" when it apparently hadn't even started development was a bad faith manipulation to get Linux folks to buy the Windows version expecting that they'd have the Linux client shortly.
Well if the next one is also extremely late and incomplete as well, then they can keep it.
