  8. Wine is crap? on Fragmentation in the Windows World · · Score: 1

    When was the last time you tried wine? The recent snapshots run most of the stuff quite well. Since wine is in development, more and more things run correctly. Comapring wine a year ago and now is irrelevent.

    Half of the stuff runs? Like, what might that be? From the apps I've tried, nearly all of them worked to what I expected.

    /etc/limits is where you can place your system limits.

    You can limit how many processes can be run, how much memory can be used (total I think).

    you forgot to take into account packet headers. For ethernet cards, used with cable modems or adsl or whatever situation, the MTU is 1500 and cannot be changed afaik. Each packet header is ~60bytes, therefore 15 / 1.5 = 1 which means 15 + 1 == max speed :)
