White said that once you got something working it has never meant it would continue to do so, or do so properly. There may have been display glitches or things not functioning properly, if a program even worked with Wine at all.
That's what I get from WinXP on a regular basis, so I guess I could stand using Wine.
My xbox stopped gathering dust the day I got xbmc installed on it.
Now it's on almost every evening playing my favorite DIVX movies (or xvid, ogm, etc... plays everything and anything), and almost every day playing relaxing music for my baby girl.
now if only it could also do time shifting with an external TV receiver...
I hope they won't base their marketing on that Beagle thing, as your average IT executive might be tempted to think that a software at version 0.0.7 is probably crap (no matter how polished it might be in reality, I don't use Beagle, so I wouldn't know).
Firefox 0.9 had a hard time getting into enterprises because, among other reasons, of its sub-1.x version level, I can't imagine how a 0.0.7 version number can provide the sensation of security/safety needed to be a good pro-NLD10 argument.
Ps: sorry about my bad english, hope this makes sense.
I've been playing online games for years with english and french speaking people (starting with everquest 1).
I met a ton of people who would have benefit(? bear with me if incorrect, please) a lot from reading instead of playing, especially when it comes to spelling and grammar. That's true for french players typing/speaking in french, and US players typing in english.
I can't count how many times I've seen "it's" instead of "its". And then there's the abbrev problem common to a lot of games, where people tend to use shortcuts to avoid learning complicated words (like rez for resurrect, and plz for please(sigh)). Yes, I know most of the time, these abbreviations are here to help communicate faster ingame, but I suspect some people are glad they don't need to remember how to spell 10+ letters long words.
In such cases, I guess books will always beat games in terms of learning material.
The article mentions halo, half-life, I don't see really what these games teach except not to jump off a cliff. At least they teach you not to launch a grenade if it can bounce back and explode at your feet (been there, done that)...
Anyway, as long as a lobby becomes powerful enough, you'll always find researchers to formulate whatever truth you need to make it more powerful (what was the name of that expert payed by the tobacco companies to pretend that passive smoking was just a rumor ?).
PS: To the smart trolls willing to pinpoint my own grammar and spelling errors, please, remember english's not my mother tongue. And translate that text in perfect french first:)
Wells refused to grant SCO complete review of all of the IBM programs it listed, but threatened to grant "unfettered access" in the future if IBM fails to provide all data - including approximately 2 billion lines of code - from its

Are we talking about the same courts that blame McDonald's for not warning customers that "coffee can be hot" and reward the stupidity of the customer for suing in the first place ?
If so, I doubt we have the same definition of "reasonable".
So, if I get the FA right, author says that if tomorrow Blizzard changes one line in their EULA saying :
"by clicking I AGREE you accept to transfer your house/car/etc... properties to Blizzard" If I click the button, because I'm eager to play, Mr Blizzard can come to my house and get my car, wife, kids, etc ?
I mean, honestly, who's willing to read the EULA EVERYTIME they launch a game, especially highly addictive games like MMORPGs.
Then there's the problem of EULAs usually not 'readable' until you buy and install the game. I doubt a lot of shops accept refunds on online games, as they can't check if you used/wrote down the key.
EULAs are IMHO plain stupid and oneway safety. As often, the user is on the wrong side of the stick.
I guess they don't mean "searching within JPEG/WMA" but "searching with knowledge of JPEG being a picture file format and WMA being a music file format", so you can just click some "music files only" search option and it'll consider *.WMA files as valid results if filename matches query.

You're obviousile eager to update your firefox rapidly, I suppose because of the security fixes of that new version.
But you're willing to download it from any source as you're requesting a torrent, which can contain a "modified" version ?
I fail to see the logic... I'd advise you to wait till you can download it from the main mirrors.
... which states that this has already happened...
As far as I'm concerned, and considering the general quality of recent shows, this has already happened.

People probably think that each time a dupe is posted, it takes the spot of a fresh and interesting news they'd enjoy reading and commenting.
Most whiners need to realize that if dupes were perfectly filtered by the editors, it wouldn't more more news.
bottom line : a dupe doesn't take a "new news" spot.
Re-read all the /. comments on that page, replacing French/France/Frogs with Linux and US/English/Americans/Superman with Windows...
Sometimes being the underdog's a good argument to justify a rant/fight, sometimes it ain't...
it's endangered because of DMCA or people suing based on stupid reasons, not because people do not use them.
mp3 players, A/D - D/A chips, TIVOs and P2P software are on that list, and you can't say people don't use them.
What a I missing ?
--> reading the FA before posting an opinion maybe
I take it this asteroid is "mostly harmless" ?
Article doesn't blame Americans for anything... You know other countries have factories, oil, pollution, etc ?
Well, you know there are other countries at least ?
