Maybe they want to just play a damn 3D game without going through the nightmare of recompiling WineX _and_ half the system, including X. Etc.
How can they recompile WineX? It's provided in binary form, and a fairly useless source version with the good bits stripped out...
I agree with not making any sudden changes, but I don't agree that installing software (and getting it working) on modern distros is that hard. Commercial Linux games tend to use the Loki installer which is just as simple (IMO) as - say - InstallSheild on Windows.
That, and your parent poster was obviously making a joke... One which has been done many times before, but a joke nevertheless.
XP home (what the OP's referring to, I believe) has no security box - it goes straight to the task manager. (Yeah, I used XP home on my laptop before I put Linux on it. Yeah, it sucks for networking...)
Judging by people clicking my sig link (so not very good research) it'd seem that Firebird is the current most popular/. browser, followed by IE, then Mozilla. Windows is still the dominant OS on/..
"A lot of the information is encrypted, so we have to decrypt it," said Sharon Ruckman, a senior director of antivirus software maker Symantec's security response center. Symantec has had about 40 reports of the virus in the first hour, a high rate of submission, Ruckman said.
Please tell me I'm missing a whole load; most of the strings found in the binary are readable after de-UPX-ing, then ROT13ing. About half are ROT13d, half aren't.
Ah well, I'm probably totally wrong, but it just sounds odd.
According to the patent, it was filed in December 1999, so no - that wouldn't count as prior art. Not that there isn't any, but that particular example was several years after the filing.
When I noticed the ":", I did; I've still never seen a sign labelled in anything but imperial in the UK in real life though (and, fwiw, think the people changing signs they see to imperial are like the people who dispute things like double yellow lines when they aren't 100% in spec - being picky and annoying people. But that's just my opinion).
Changing road signs back to miles? I've never seen a road sign in the UK in anything but miles - to be honest I wish they would hurry up and convert roads to metric.

Except it is slashdot stripping my s... if it was just whitespace I'd agree.
Info-ZIP's unzip works fine on it, no need for WINE.

The odd thing is that code posting allows as many spaces as one wants
:/
I was going to write something about using then realised that slashdot strips this. Woo.
Presumably because it takes an obviously flat surface and appears to make it textured; it's "giving texture" to the surface.
WRT the nVidia drivers, yesterday the 5336 drivers for ix86 which support 2.6 natively (no patching required).
Just thought you might like to know...

Well, y'see, Imperial roads are made out of mint. This does not provide an ideal driving condition; hence the need for metric roads.
(yeah, I meant imperial/metric measurements)

Do not reward this behavior.
I think the %00/%01 needs to be unescaped - the raw character, rather than the % code.
/me wonders if the "AntisLash" is there purposefully, or just a coincidence...
You mean the right to put currency detection functions in your products? Doesn't breach any law...
What rights, exactly?
Well, actually I cheated and checked the page first, and saw there were no repeated instances and all were spelled exactly the same...
Hey, when you know how to do it it takes hardly any thought...
It looks like you're trolling, but...
