older computers are as cheap and plentiful as dirt
You're kidding me. The effort to get an old computer, set it up, install the crappy old OS from slow floppies/CDs, mess around with limited memory and IRQs and realising at the last minute that you can't just transfer over wireless or USB... it'd be cheap if your time is worth nothing. Otherwise, running a VM (or just about any other method) is probably faster. I'd love another physical amiga, but I know I'd never use it, next to having a copy of UAE.
For a lot of API calls, you could probably build some automated tool that analyses running programs on windows, recording calls in/out of programs/apps, their arguments, results, and what ideal results would be/are. From that, testing against wine builds would be fairly straight forward.
Yes, but if I'd said blossom you might not have connected it with spiral. Whereas, the way I wrote it, you did. Helping people make connections is part of communication.
Birgitta Jonsdottir told news site The Daily Beast that she did not believe Assange's repeated assertion that the allegations of rape and molestation made against him were part of a US-backed smear campaign
The idea of a politician who doesn't understand the smear campaigns seems ludicrous. Especially when it revolves around such a high-profile issue as US military secrets. I can only conclude that: a) she's the stupidest politician who ever lived. b) she's very new to politics and being manipulated c) she's one of those who'll gain from this smear campaign
Ok, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Keep telling yourself that.
The idea that guns themselves are harmful is one of pitiful stupidity at best and harmful malice at worst.
Right. It's not at all self-evident to anyone who understands the word "gun".
We obviously hard no murder or harm come to people before guns.
Right. Whether people hurt each other before guns existed has heaps to do with what guns are useful for.
The ability to protect oneself or ones family is one to be celebrated, as we are, in the US, a supposedly free people.
Only a minority of US states allow deadly force when your home is invaded. Few allow deadly force elsewhere. Moreover, the arms gap between private US citizens and the US government has never been greater, so if you think you're somehow "free" just because you own some little peashooter of a gun, you're just plain naive.
The idea that guns are harmful is one that a 120lb woman should fight off a 240lb rapist with her fists.
OK, I'm gonna ignore the incoherent stuff. Feel free to express this thought in English, if you can figure out what you're trying to say.

Dehumanisation over other people is a kind of violence in itself. It only weakens your argument.
breaks into my house with the intent to hurt my family, I am supposed to roll over and allow them to do so?
Both are tools and can be used for harmful and helpful things for mankind.
What "both" are you talking about? Please be coherent when attempting to argue a point.
Be kind to those who carry.
Why? Will you be kind to the other members of my species, even if they're crazy or misguided? It doesn't sound like it.
Their role is to play sheepdog.
Go ahead and self-aggrandize as a "sheepdog", if that's the highest level you can aspire to. Just remember that many of us will see you as a murderer if you ever aim a deadly weapon at another human being and fire it.
There are wolves out there, and while you may think the dog is the problem, it is the wolf you should fear.
I like wolves just fine. Sorry if they scare you.
When they do, you should hope a sheepdog is near. They might just save your life.
Sheepdogs are for herding sheep. I think you must mean a pack of wolfhounds.
Bull. Computers can be used for designing things that uplift humanity, building them, and sharing ideas on how to build them. At best, a gun can get kids excited about running about a forest learning to emulate killers and destroy things.
It started long before the careless war reporting. It started at least as far back as when they started posting press releases as stories, without any validation. Maybe when they started reiterating smear campaigns without checking the reasons why the smear started.
And the newspaper industry wonders why it's dying? Because anyone can mindlessly reiterate a press release.

Yeah. A cute, fresh-faced, geeky female doctor with glasses, summarising quantum computers in about an hour. Nah, no one here wants to watch that ;)

But does the 80% go to the rear shields, or the front?
It's true. Even the automated app installer scripts written by experts don't work well between different versions of wine. What hope do users have?

Yes, chain contingency actually. Well spotted.
Yes, but if I'd said blossom you might not have connected it with spiral. Whereas, the way I wrote it, you did. Helping people make connections is part of communication.
Ahh, so you HAVE met me.
Also, if you see it as a big cappuccino for even bigger aliens, there's no mystery at all about why they'd stir it in this pattern ;)
p.s.: I'm just having fun, not ridiculing the idea of an electric universe. But I believe that's already been done adequately.
For god's sake post something people, I'm getting lonely with this first post and second post crap ;)
What? Doesn't everyone know this is due to The Last Starfighter?
It's funny, I seem to recall that we** lie to ourselves about this ;)
** in so-called "free" countries, not just the US.

No, only some are space-faring in Origin. The rest fare better by moongate.
Philosophy is the love (and by implication, study) of wisdom. I think you mean theory, or perhaps supposition.
What kind of nature do you come from anyway?
It should really go on a talent show or something, to boost its exposure.
I'm still waiting for them to fix the release-critical bugs in 10.04 :( At least, they'd be release-critical by Debian's better standards.
Yes, but... why?

Not to burst your bubble, but... you know when they have a good time? They're acting. It's the money, you see...

Yes, but it usually means that you're not a tool. At least, not in a physically violent way.
