Trouble is if you split the list into newbies and non-newbies the people the other Alan despises so much won't think of themselves as newbies. As a relative newbie myself I find it hard to swallow some of the near-elitist attitude shown by some experts, calling someone who isn't as experienced as you a noob is just plain insulting. I hope when those people learn something new they

Hi all, First off - this is not flame bait or a troll. It's a genuine question. Since the forum gateway was introduced, it is my opinion that this list is getting flooded with newbie questions. Check the "I just installed Ubuntu" thread for a typical example. I wish to silently remove all wine-forum posts and their replies from my inbox. I plan to filter based on From:

It has been suggested that the wine-users list is now too busy, and needs to be split into two: one for experienced users, and one for beginners. However, this might leave the beginners adrift without any experienced people to help them. So I don't think we should do it unless at least a handful of experienced users are willing to join the new group and lend a hand. I'm willing, but I

We are trialing UBUNTU on my son's computer and want to load WINE so that he can use some of his windows programs - of course mostly games..... Our problem is that the PC is a standalone with no internet connection at this time - it will soon. We downloaded wine-1.1.28.tar.bz2 onto a usb drive and copied over, but we are such know-nothings about this that we are stuck. I have seen something

Hi Guys, So creating a forums application seems like something that rails can handle easily and well, and whatever implementation that came to fruition would be head and shoulders above existing products like vBulliten and phpBB. Even the existing rails forums are using php-based forum products! An insult if you ask me. So my question -- is there any current development of a rails-based

Gee, it's been a while since I posted a new version of winetricks. This is rather a big update. As always, online at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks Please submit bug reports to http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/issues/list svn log since version 20081127: r264 | daniel.r.kegel | 2009-01-16 Don't set winver to win2K when installing .net 1.1. r263 | daniel.r.kegel | 2009-01-16 Add

First off, amazing plugin! Being a rails noob, it helped me do some stuff I would''ve thought way over my head. Which brings me to my problem. :) I''m using backgroundrb to handle some processes that take so long that I don''t want them tied to a page refresh (several xml-rpc calls and saving data in text files on the server). I got it working with backgroundrb fairly

Another, er, quarter, another winetricks. Online as always at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks or http://winezeug.googlecode.com Thanks to Austin English for taking on most of the work keeping winetricks up to date!

Has arima.mle (MASS, Ch.15, p.464) been implemented in R? [A search through contributed packages and R-FAQ suggests not, and I don't think function 'lme' from package 'nlme' would accomplish the same sort of thing, although it permits correlated errors. A search of the CRAN site shows this question has been asked some time ago, and it was suggested that Paul Gilbert's

I've read through the docs, but honestly this is driving me crazy and I shouldn't have to fight this hard to just to write some documentation. Here's the problem: Look at llvm/docs/CommandGuide/FileCheck.rst I want to add a table of contents that looks like this [ http://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html] to that file. Nothing I've tried works. (Also, no I'm not trying to add it in

I''m a complete newbie at Xen, just getting started. I was happy to see that Ubuntu 11.10 includes Xen again, http://zulcss.wordpress.com/2011/09/04/xen-4-1-1-on-ubuntu/ So I installed ubuntu 11.10''s precompiled Xen, and started playing around with it. I''m not even trying to start another VM at the moment, just playing around with mounting block devices, and had trouble

Ever wish you could see which *good* games work on Wine? Here's my try at making a simple page which lets you see that at a glance. http://kegel.com/wine/games.html lists the top 50 or so games from each of the last dozen years. http://kegel.com/wine/games-2010.html is the same thing, but just for the first half of 2010. Clicking on a column sorts by that column. Changes since when I first

Greetings, I have a couple of questions and figured I would put them all in one message to not spam the list as much as possible. I have searched voip-info, google and the list archives for all of these questions. If I have missed the correct response, please accept my apologies. I have been stuck on these for a long time and I am really hoping that the other users out there will be able to

Hi all. I''m a new convert (or at least I want to be a convert) to Rails. I''ve got the book, have read it, done bits and pieces of the demo, and tried to apply it to a rather complicated DB I''ve got here. I''ve got a ton of questions, and before I bore everyone here, is there a dedicated forum for Rails newbies to get help? Yak -- Posted via

Problem is, Wikis in general suck and voip-info.org in particular is quite useless except as a random clicky-clicky exercise. You ever use the search on voip-info.org? It's almost like someone

I was misconstrued as having insulted Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew. My words were twisted and misinterpreted and I feel that there is a need to explain myself and set the record straight.

I was having a ***verbal*** conversation with Melvin Lee,

I just installed Ubuntu for the first time yesterday, so I'm still pretty much a total noob. I installed Wine and got the other programs that I needed. Everything went smoothly. I installed World of Warcraft and Burning Crusade. Those installed fine. When I put in the WotLK disc, however, it says, "Access Denied." I also tried downloading it from the WoW website. It downloaded for
