My comment didn't miss the point... The point was how great Wine is... I've run Visual C++ under Wine before. Whoopdedo. I guess I'll submit a news story about how I can now continue work on text files I wrote in Notepad all thanks to Wine. I mean, I could convert those files over to a format for Gedit or nano, but what's the point when you can use Notepad now under Wine!
Yeah, now let me ask you, aCC, WHY would you WANT to use Microsoft's compiler in Linux if you don't need to? What does it cost? Is it worth it to pay all that money to do something you can easily do already? Seems like a stupid and pointless thing to me.
I don't know why you are replying to my post; I use Debian. I do realize how good apt-get is. I know it *just works.*
I've said it before, but people don't realize just how good Debian's apt-get really is, since there are no words that can describe it... It's simply a must-experience. Urpmi has nothing on it, neither does apt-rpm or apt-get for rpm, or whatever else there is. Debian's structure makes it work, and until any other distros mimick it, Debian will remain king as far as resolving dependencies goes.
I think the only number that must be taken in care in order to see if the kernel is stable or not is the second (4), so it is pair and COMPLETLY STABLE (when released), not unstable has of 21.
I use apt-get to update the Yellow Dog Linux on my laptop and it is vastly better. The ease of Debian, without having to be one of those irritating Debian users.
Just because someone uses a particular distro doesn't make them irritating or not...
I was irritating before I started using Debian.
Oh, like Neverwinter Nights?
Yeah, I'm with that! Who is gonna play these crappy year-old games????!!!?
I've had enough of reading Slashdot for today. I'm gonn go play some original UT.
No kidding. You can use the Linux version that comes in a nice tin box on Windows, and you can use the Windows version in Linux as well... How these people don't know this is beyond me. I've seen people who run Quake 3 in WineX for crying out loud. WHY!?!
You do realize that you're talking about Microsoft, right? The same company that released a web browser that would execute code so insecurely that it could wipe entire hard disks - A FRICKIN' WEB BROWSER!
I mean, look at the recent announcements, most of which were Slashdot headlines: Disciples 2, Bandits, Ballistics, Serious Sam 1 and 2, America's Army, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and Medal of Honor: Spearhead... That nearly doubles the number of games we already have.
Slashdot Mirror
Since yesterday? You mean you got a head start yesterday. You'll still be emerging it when Debian Stable gets it. ;)
Well, it uses OpenGL and OpenAL. Ported by Ryan Gordon.

Screenshots!!! OF AN OFFICE SUITE!!!! /me wets his pants.

It's MAGIC.
Yeah, that works for me too.
Offtopic: that website in your info doesn't work. Is the server down or something?

Thanks for coming out.

it's easy, just do blah, blah
Why should you pay twice? Because they aren't the same service, perhaps?
LGP sells their products in DVD cases, not as downloads. You're thinking of that shit company, Transgaming.

I can spell, really, I can!
"whether"

Meh. People.
There were GeForce2 Ti cards, but weather they had a 200 or whathaveyou, I don't know.
ASUS's later models of the V7700 card were Ti cards.
...don't visit Microsoft's websites.
the linux users will buy the boxes by the hordes!
You mean by the dozens.
I didn't say it was, but I don't use Safari either.
If you want to risk your data like that, so be it.

It IS getting better, contrary to popular belief.

So now we have to give awards to non-existant games, just to make it look like we have over 25!
Fan frickin' tastic!
Am I the only one who finds it kinda stupid the MSFT was at LinuxWorld?
No, but the rest of us are mature enough to handle it.
Read it again... it says tomorrow I have a lot of reading to do then.
