similar to: Wine for the End-user?

I have a couple of questions about Wine, just in an attempt to enhance my understanding of it: Is Wine writing its own implementation of DirectX, which sort of 'forwards' instructions to an equivilant in OpenGL? Is it possible to install the official MS DirectX under Wine? If not, why not? Thanks for any info :-)

Well... THANKS to wine developers!! Never thought i could play WOW on salckware! Actually it's running a LOT smoother on wine as it did on xp. However the only problemn is that the cursor can't reach the far bottom on the screen where my bar is. So i can't put my spells in the quick slots. Any suggestions about it? Is there someway to solve this minor issue?

I'm trying to figure out how to trigger a process from within R. I have an exectuable file that runs a Fortran model, but ideally, would like to run it from R. Note that I'm not talking about importing the function at all, passing variables, or anything complicated like that. I basically just want a script that "double-clicks" on a particular file and opens/runs it for me. The

Hello, I'm trying to setup a PDC with Samba, but I have the known problem of the roaming profiles: big files. I think it's difficult to guarantee that a inexperienced user will copy is downloaded files, documents, or whatever, to a H:\ share instead of is handy desktop. Other problem is the files of Outlook or Thunderbird that can get big. The goal is to avoid email configuration each

Hi, We''re using unicorn as a Rails server on Solaris, and it''s been running great for several months. We''ve recently been having a few problems and I''m at a loss what might cause it. A number of times in the past few days, our unicorn slaves keep timing out & the master keeps restarting them. unicorn.log looks something like : E,

Hi all, I'm to inexperienced to come up with the matrix solution elusively appearing on the horizon for the following problem and would appreciate if you could give me a nudge ...

Being one who deals with one software after another, and now looking at the possibility of using icecast to stream ogg clips on my website, I would like to ask before I go much further in the matter: Is icecast likely to introduce further issues and irregularities among visitors to my site? Will using icecast pull me deeper into programming, or will it be mainly a matter of setup? Right now I

Hi folks, how does this look? http://wiki.winehq.org/PlatinumRegressionHunt I hope to publicise this once wine-1.0.0-rc1 is released. Let me know if the instructions are hard to follow. Thanks, Dan

Hi all, I''m trying to work out how to get started using some jQuery in my rails app. rails -v = 3.2.2 ruby -v = 1.9.3-p194 I''m only sporadically a web-developer, and still quite inexperienced with jQuery especially, so I may be making an obvious mistake. Essentially, I''ve done very little after creating a new app, I''ve learnt that jQuery is included by

We are experimenting with two different scenarios here. The one I'm asking about this time is this: We have a samba4 AD set up. It seems to be fine as far as we can tell. We are trying to set up a member, and have followed the wiki page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_a_Samba_AD_Member_Server. The first question I have is why is the start script we use on the AD not work on the

To preface, I'm running Leopard OSX and am using rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29. Whenever I attempt to sync (using rsync obviously) a folder on my local drive to my web server (netfirms.com is my web host) using SSH, the process hangs. I have to force kill it in order to continue using Terminal. I can connect to my server space using SSH just fine by itself, and I ran

I gather that ifconfig is a way of setting the netmask in the current shell instead of a persistent value.? I say this because I am running it and see it for my specific network interface, directly after running it. However if I restart the network service the netmask is reverted to the previous value. What is the correct way to set the new netmask for the network interface to make it persistent.

I am an evil M$ MCSE :), who of late is planning on opening his own business...

We have SOME experience with Linux, but were after information specifically on the possible implementation of Win2K Group Policies (as well as 'Domain' Authentication_ for the client

In ActiveRecord''s callbacks, methods within a before_create callback are called after the validation, but before the model is created. This was an intentional design decision, but I think it was the wrong one. What do you think? When I think of before_create, I think of before_validation :foo, :on => :create, but, by default, before_create is synonymous with after_validation :foo,
