Damn, I'd ban your sorry profane ass so fast it'd make your head spin.
You have one big twisted and distorted world view there. Amazing you're allowed out in public.

>When XBox live goes to a monthly fee, it will also be around $13.
And how did you manage to divine that fact? Given that no one knows what Microsoft's pricing policy is going to be? Especially since you state it as fact rather than conjecture or opinion I sure you must have *some* basis for it.
Or are you just mking stuff up and using it to bash something you don't like?
>hideously expensive
In what universe is an Xbox hideously expensive? It's stinking dirt cheap.
Then again, as long as you're bashing Microsoft around here it doesn't matter what the facts are or how long ago your grip on reality slipped.

That's not WineX's mission. Look to the regular Wine folks for that.

You'd think, but publishing is quirky. I know a couple of very talented writers who can't get published. And yet there's inane, badly written drivel being pumped out by the bushels.

The Amiga is a competitor to the XBox?!
In what univerese exactly?

Applied it this morning. 3;04pm; so far nothing broken and nothing amiss. Turned off that lousy Windows Messenger and MSN Explorer, that was a relief.

Some chess programs use a similar system called tablebases which I think have endgames solved out to five pieces or so. It's interesting, but kind of distrubing, to see a computer proclaiming mate in 136 moves.
I've got a number of good freinds that I know only through online communication. I truely and completely resent your blathering dismissal of those relationships. If there is indeed a problem in all this I say it's a problem with you and your utterly cyncial and biased outlook.
> Pays to read carefully - the comparison was with SuSE 8, not RedHat. SuSE has a bunch of specific hardware detection stuff that RH doesn't.
That might be true, but SuSE 8.0 was unable to setup my wireless USB mouse and my CD-R drive correctly. Redhat has always handled both with no problem. Mandrake also fails to handle the mouse correctly.

Regarding the article all I can say is . . .
Huh!?
Did someone at Slate miss their medication? What utter and total overblown tripe.
You obviously haven't tried it and don't have a clue. So stop yammering about what you don't know.
>Oh yes. The only one (almost) ready for it. Unless of course you've got my mouse and my CD-Rom drive which SuSE 8.0 didn't like at all.
Maybe, but business apps aren't WineX's focus.
That's not WineX's mission. Look to the regular Wine folks for that.

Show up on AOL's radar?
Wasn't gaim originally an official offshoot of AIM? Sponsored by AOL?
If I remember correctly AOL even sicced their pack of lawyers on the gaim project for trademark violations or something of that sort.
I'd think AOL is very well aware of the gaim project.

Dreamweaver 4 is working or very nearly in Crossover Office, it's not yet officially supported though, perhaps the next release.

Or you could just end up with radioactive asteroid bits and pieces coming down all over the place.

I'd guess 95% or better of those infected in sub-saharan Africa don't take anti-virals, but they all die of aids anyway.
So you're an admitted thief and a fool. Damn parasite.
