For others, I would advise to check whether your favorite application is in CodeWeaver's compatibility database. This database is maintained pretty well.
Don't forget the main commercial sponsor CodeWeavers. Alexandre Julliard, one of the leading developers of Wine, now works for them. Their main product is CrossoverOffice, which regularly snapshots the Wine branch and then does bugfixing on it. Then they charge $40 for a solid and stable version, and include a GUI to make installing IE and other applications a cinch.
It's a small shop and very sympathetic. They also read Slashdot. Jeremy, the CEO, is active here as user jeremy_white. Befriend him to let his comments show up as +5.

Recently, for example, my boss got pissed off at me and made a big scene because he thought I hadn't notified him about something. I happened to have a copy of the email in which I notified him, and I also happened to have saved his reply to it. But what if I hadn't saved the reply, or if he hadn't replied?
Then he would be just as mad at you as he now is. Because don't think for a minute that because saying "I *did* tell you" leaves you off the hook.
What basically happens, is that he's disappointed and he wants to vent out on someone. However you probably don't like that. So you said: "I still have your reply, so you've got no reason to vent out on me". However you could just as easily have said: "I don't like it when you vent out on me. Even if it's my fault, we can talk quietly over it."
Just receiving a digital signal doesn't mean its right!
That reminds me... I went into a (wooden) floor store for a hygrometer. The salesgirl showed a couple of models, one of them being a digital one. So she said, "this one is digital, so it's more accurate because it shows the humidity with one decimal".
Huh? If you scroll way down, then the answer is always there in my experience. It's not so nice that it's "hidden" that way, but you only have to scroll down.
There are partial solutions for this. For instance, sometimes I need flawless Office document im/export. OpenOffice just doesn't cut it with its imperfect import/export filters, so I bought the commercial Wine version from CodeWeavers. The latest version, 6.0, is listed in the compatibility database as being able to run Visio 2003.
I'm not up-to-speed on hardware, so I found it interesting to see. I would also like a story about a new Dell server offering or somesuch. I'm probably the only one that liked the sponsored Intel section from half a year ago.
I think you're confusing issues here. Of course GMail or any other mail hoster can cancel an account, but that doesn't mean anything in the long term. Ssince you own the domain. You just create a new account at another host, point your MX records to said host and continue using the mail address.
Of course, if you don't have backups then that's just too bad.
That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. Let's say the Desktop EEE goes for $300. Well, a Mac Mini is $600. You call a TWO HUNDRED PERCENT PRICE INCREASE "not that much more in price"??
I always donate when I just solved a problem with some piece of software, or found a particular functionality I appreciate:
When I merged two pieces of source code using Meld, I donated $10
Upon finding out I could resize windows in Vim in an xterm, I donated $10, and another $5 when I found out how nicely it works together with X11 clipboards
When my business started earning money, I donated to CentOS because that's what's installed on my servers
When the Dag Wieers RPM repository had packaged a piece of software for me, he saved me an hour of work -- so I donated $10
And lots more. Outside of that, I donated to OpenSSH by buying a T-shirt for a colleague his birthday.
The cable company will not put cable down is lane for any less than a ridiculous sum of $10,000.
Wireless is probably the best solution, but an alternative would be to put a dog house at the road and install a cable modem there. Then, run a length of wire to the house yourself. I know it sounds silly, but it _is_ an alternative.
That link is actually pretty funny. The first two hits on the right: "Ubuntu Security Notice - courier vulnerability (USN-294-1)" and
"Ubuntu Security Notice - openoffice.org2-amd64, openoffice.org2 vulnerabilities (USN-313-2)"
I totally agree with you, actually. I was just horsing around. The electronics guy here too whips up quickies in VBA. Sure, it's "write-only" but it definitely beats Matlab.
That is just _so_ cool. I'm absolutely dying to help my customers by creating cross-platform applications in VBA. They will enjoy all the goodness and richness of the Microsoft Office platform, with 86 MB single-user OLE files, spreadsheets/graphics/mail-merge/database-monster all rolled into one. On a share. So everyone can use it.
Slashdot Mirror
The chaps at Sparx Systems make software and have designed their UML tools to be compatible with Crossover Office, the commercial Wine variant: http://www.sparxsystems.com/support/faq/ea_on_linux.html.

Actually the commercial variant from CodeWeavers has reached version 7 today, which is saying much more about the maturity of Wine.
Just a happy customer.

Looking at the slider, I see that you haven't scrolled all the way down.
Eh? Search for Chmod all files within a directory Linux, then click the first link and scroll down completely. Voila, solution.

That is so cool. The animal name of my choosing was 'Slug', which resulted in getting the Mozilla product name "ThunderSlug"...

Very insightful -- not. I like this story, for one. I don't believe Taco selling out.

(j/k)
Note that mToken goes for $49.95, while the in functionality comparable zaTelnet (which also does SSH) goes for $19.95. Just mentioning.

*laughs* MollyB, thanks for a great comment.
