wine has a configuration agent that allows you to tweak how you run your program

also WHY IN THE NAME OF THAT SUPREME BEING THINGY are you running Alien Arena in Wine? Alien Arena, as in the CodeRED Alien Arena? or a different one?
I AIN'T runnin it in wine!:confused:

I am however trying to sort out which goodies I have for Win. that I can run with wine (or perhaps another program) in Ubu. Corel for example.

Perhaps my understanding of what exactly Wine is is wrong but I thought it was for running various Win. dependant programs in nux type OS's.

It's raining (again), annnd It's kinda f**king cold and I would very much like to know when exactly does the whole warming part of global warming kick in!:rainumbrella:

Wine is a program that provides windows API to a windows program. It stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, but in simplest of terms to describe, it is.

Hmm, corel, go to the main wine site, and see the list of confirmed and compatible software.... Btw Gimp does well, and so does InkScape if you do vector...

No computer system/network is ever 100% secure, and I'm not one bit surprised something like this has happened. It's an idea my buddies and I were thinking up when we were all taking our MSCE college courses.

It's a shame none of us ever ventured out to do actually do it...

yep, but some are a hell of a lot more secure then others... and generally if it's nix-based, it is....

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

When we launched in May 2000, we wanted to create a site to share science-related content of all kinds on the web. As time passed, our site turned into a pure science forum with lots of cool people.

So we kept the name Hypography and the cool science forum community - and aim to be a friendly place for discussion of science topics of all kinds.
