Linux game-time refined with latest Wine

Correction

Both the first page of the article and the URL ("/wine_2_1_review/") are incorrect, and to be even more precise than the second page, it's actually Wine 1.2-rc5 (the fifth release candidate of Wine 1.2).

Otherwise, great article and thanks for keeping us posted on WINE development.

Microsoft recants branding excess with model merger

Maybe they need a new naming schema?

I have the feeling that most people would be more likely to use software that has a name a bit more indicative of what it does...I cannot imagine that most people would be likely to think, "Oh, I should check out Adobe Boston, Intuit London or VMware Vladivostok!", unless they are a tourist.

I suppose it could have been worse, though...they've already used "Bob" for something else.

Who will be the next Doctor?

@Spiracle (Re: Colin Salmon)

Colin Salmon has already appeared on Doctor Who, as "Dr Moon" in the Library episodes:

He's talking about these episodes.

I'm pretty convinced that RTD is going to keep David Tennant, based on the current evidence.

MS bundles Vista SP1 and Server 2008 out the door

@ Morely Dotes

I seriously doubt that HP has invented self-uninstalling printers. That Windows would uninstall the printer is hardly the printer's fault. I can't comment on HP's customer support, but based on my experience with supporting their printers for business use, I've had nothing but positive experience with them. Thankfully, though, I don't currently have to support Vista; most people seem to realize it's a train wreck.

Do you seriously believe that the drivers do some sort of Mission: Impossible self-destruct?
