Well it wasn't that funny a comment, but it wasn't a troll either. I think it's just that a great deal of free software patriots are also American patriots. Just look at Stallman or ESR...
Just wait for some yank to insult my "stupid British teeth!". It's the circle of life.
Perhaps he has been kidding(parodying stupid trolls) all this time and you've been missing the point in the same way that you are trolling him for. Maybe you are kidding and I'm missing the point, or maybe I'm parodying also and somebody will miss the point there and get flamed but actually it turns out that there were paro--- oh no, I've gone crossed eyed.
I didn't say it's a non-achievement, I just said that I thought it wasn't newsworthy. Maybe I was wrong to say that MSVCPP doesn't use strange API, but still I believe that there is nothing particularly spectacular about the program. I really feel that this sort of thing is only posted on Slashdot because of the Microsoft connection. It's not like the editors don't have a reputation for being sad zealots.
Clearly there are two schools of thought on the matter, shown by the people who have replied to my post in anger, and the people who have modded it up. If you can't handle an opinion without having to swear (and indicating your accent by dropping the G off the end of "fucking" makes you seem oh-so-more dangerous on the Internet!) and call names like a pathetic moron, then just don't bother. I appreciate the other replies I had, but yours was just laughable.
I'm not saying it's not an achievement for the Wine team, I'm saying that using an emulator designed for emulating windows programs with the fairly non-spectacular Visaul C++ isn't news worthy. Maybe I'm wrong - in which case, I just used Vi to edit some text! I'd better get to submitting that...
Visual C++ doesn't do anything weird regarding Windows API. The IDE is a normal affair, and the compiler could be run without a user interface. It's really not testing Wine to it's limitations and the irony of situation is barely worth commenting on. This is non-news, the only thing this article achieves is to make Slashdot look like the anti-MS geeks with limited social awareness. Some things just aren't worth giggling at.
I don't even need to look at the poster to know that this is the work of micheal...
So you're claiming that Linux has no place on the desktop? By the same logic you've used above, it could be said that Linux isn't even secure enough to be used as desktop machines for a business due to how easily all data on a machine can be accessed via a boot disk. Or are you just blindly playing Linux advocate because you're a spoon-fed idiot?
If you people want to do Linux advocacy a favour, try just shutting the fuck up once in a while. Try using Linux and admitting to it's faults at the same time.
It makes me sad that Slashdot is looked upon as representative of Linux geeks.
How incredibly pathetic do you have to be to poke fun at a windows exploit involving local access to the machine? Do you somehow think that Linux isn't just as vunerable? Wasn't it only 2 or 3 months ago that an article was posted here about security ending when a hacker has physical access to a computer?
You Slashdot editors are a sad bunch of zealots. You are doing more harm for Linux advocacy than good. Thank god you're just a bunch of spotty geeks running an unimportant news site - if you took these sort of hypocritical attitudes somewhere which mattered, you'd end up in serious trouble.
When are they going to release a good P2P program for Linux? Not that gnutella crud, I'm talking about something like KaZaA that even people stuck on 56K can use well. I'm fed up with wine & KaZaA lite dying every 5 seconds.

Not only are you being a pedantic fool about wording which is really quite acceptable even if not 100% correct when taken literally, but you use ratios like 90/100. And you can stop explaining it now, we understood it in the first place. I hate it when people think that not agreeing with something means misunderstanding it.
>The first half of the movie has the most screengrabs, as there is more action than talking later on, and the subtitle writers eventually started getting the name of the characters right.
Or in other words, he got bored of making them up and thought that he'd already gotten enough material for a good hoax. I'm sure he'll enjoy the extra popularity his site is getting thanks to a post on Slashdot.
Do you really expect that a subtitler could possibly make a mistake like "mr beens" and "Brings your pussy face to my ass"?
Well being the 'troll', I surprisingly agree with you. However, that was the best way I could put forward my opinion on the subject, sorry if it's a little generic, but it's often hard not to be. To be fair, your put down could be looked on as unoriginal - how often do we see people moaning about the standard replies here?
It's not a requirement to make sure that you're not following a trend when you post. It wasn't intentional. I'm not going to start dancing down the street in case I'm accused of walking in the same style as somebody else.
The part I agree with you on is the moderation. I was honestly expecting a -1 for the post.

...I really wanted a car with a name so close to "Evil". I guess it's back to building my Evil-Mobile out of sugar crates and matchsticks. Fnaarr.
Damned preverts. :(
Everybody knows that Saddam was playing too much Desert Strike.
No, your math is wrong. It took 1908 years.

It's not so bad. Searches are VERY fast, but due to less users you're less likely to find stuff. It's okay for mainsteam artists.

Amen to that.
Very few episodes are broadcast live, it's a great strain on the animator's wrists.
Well done, you've proved nothing except that ratios are beyond you. :)
What?
Look, it's simple. 'Black' paint would normally reflect a small amount of light. This new stuff reflects 1/10 times that amount.
LOLOLZOOZLZLZ CUZ HE SED PUSSY AND ASS OMG
Sorry, I just can't stand it when somebody does that with an obvious joke.
