Does a word processing program have a picture of a typewriter that you have to click on in order to type characters? So why the fuck does an MP3 player have to look like a stereo deck?
No, but you do have a keyboard, and the word processor does display everything as though they were physical pages having been typed up on a typewriter.
Troll? The same script-kiddies that think that it's good fun to use aimhacks on public servers (as opposed to private, local servers, on which they can do whatever they want, as far as I'm concerned) are the same kind of script-kiddies that think that it's good fun to DOS someone they don't agree with, or the same script-kiddies who think that it's good fun to run someone else's code to crack someone else's webserver.
The script-kiddies who ruin your games are the same script-kiddies who ruin everything else online. And as they grow older, mature, perhaps they'll even write some scripts of their own.
Come on, mods, just because you don't see eye-to-eye with me doesn't mean I'm a troll. Overrated, perhaps. But I'm not trolling.
This is only an exception because Cedega is open sourced already--they're just paying for precompiled binaries and an easy installer.
Actually, the "free" version of Cedega available in the CVS repository isn't the same as the version available to subscribers, and, now, anyone who downloads the timedemo.
The CVS version lacks features of the full version, especially the copy-protection circumvention code.
I asked this to the Transgaming dev team, who replied that "It requires some server contact is all [we're] saying..."
Sounds like you're out of luck. On the other hand, $5/month isn't exactly expensive.
It might be because they make money off of the ads on their site, but it's quite possibly because they're evil monopolistic bastards.
Oh, wait, no, that's someone else...
I've never gotten *anything* to work (post-install) under CVSWINEX, which is why I put off buying WineX for so long... Until I realized that CVSWINEX lacks certain features (mainly copy-protection code) that the precompiled binaries available only to subscribers has. Now, I'm a subscriber, and I generally have no trouble getting the games I have to work.
Just an example of how labeling cvswinex as winex in the apt repositories makes people believe that winex is a really crappy product.
The whole point in not buying a Microsoft product is that you are taking the moral high ground, and standing up for what you believe in, by not supporting what you believe to be an immoral corporation.
By using a "war3z" copy of anything, you completely void your "moral high ground" policy, and you simply become a thieving hipocrite, which makes you just as bad as Microsoft.
Sorry but I'm still convinced that Transgaming has been a bad wine citizen (the fact that the licence permitted it doesn't change my opinion)
This is exactly what open-source software is about. They have the *choice* to release their software under a free license. They do this with large amounts of their code that *they* wrote, and *they* maintain. If they released all of it, assholes like you'd never pay for a subscription (you probably don't, anyways), and they'd never make a profit. Don't even try with that "profit is evil" bullshit, either; they're real people, with real needs that require real money to pay for. This is a capitalist world, not some dream world where everyone else spends all of their time working on things that they give to you for free.
You didn't pay for Mandrake, so your "Mandrake charges 66 per year" argument is completely irrelevant.
If you can't download it, then you can't install it, so you obviously don't know if it works, or not.
If you're having problems with Mandrake, read the friendly web, or drop in at Linux Questions.org.

We should tell them so. =)
This year really wasn't the year for Linux. Maybe 2005? =)

Yes.
Go back to your previous version until all of your extensions are upgraded to be compatible with 1.0.
That URL doesn't work for me, please check it for typos?
That is an example url, and a local one, at that.
It's not going to work for anybody.
I'm assuming that you're using Ubuntu.
I don't see why you'd blame Ubuntu design decisions on the Transgaming team.
Note: I love Ubuntu, and use it exclusively.

CVS doesn't have features found in the full version, notably the copy-protection which is essential to running games.

You know, he's probably intending to ride it himself, if he's trying to protect it from theft.

"And than"? He's the idiot, though?
Are the ears covered? Nay.
Erm... Linux users might not appreciate the defamation of the term "Penguin", as far as google is concerned.

As a matter of fact, on the RvB Forums, we decided quite some time ago to meet at a local bar, and we've done it weekly ever since.
please don't patronise with the "living with your mom" jibe. It's what we call a joke, around here.
Though it is confusing, you're asked to boycott Linux Today, the magazine; they aren't asking you to boycott Linux, today.
