Woops, skipped that part :crazyeye: I send you back to the mozilla example. They're as fast as any other apps, and they're drawn through XUL. Cause obviously there are lots of games made for syllable, and open-source display-drivers. You're dissing Linux because of those, but it's...

Porting DirectX to Linux is not possible in itself. Wine does it by reproducing the Windows API, but it's far from perfect. Other than, that, it's virtually impossible to port Direct X without having access to the source code. Not going to happen. Anyway, companies that want to develop for code...

Name them. I see BeOS, which is old and unsupported by anyone or anything (with no apps being ported there nowaday) and to a certain extent SkyOS (which has virtually no apps as well). But anyway, go ahead and name those 50+ OSes. And I'll point out a few errors in your post as well...

A program like partition magic can do the job, but there's no utility in windows that lets you convert from NTFS to FAT32. You can only do the opposite (according to Microsoft, but again, partition magic, and maybe others, can do it). Since your only interest is data, one thing you could do...

Hmmm, well, from what I understood, your Windows directory is located on your D: drive, and the rest on the C: . And having your windows drive filled is not good, cause again, with the number of patches they issue, you'll run out of space someday, that's a sure thing. But having two partitions...

(translated from French, so there might be a few non-accurate names) Control panel -> Install/Uninstall Programs -> Windows components That will delete a few parts of what Windows install in its installation directory, but not much. How big is your partition? Cause with the number of patches...

No problem. It wasn't against you anyway, just that it kind of punched me in the face, when I saw something about running x86 compiled apps on a PPC. But I was not quite well informed about Darwine either. I knew it was possible to run x86 windows apps through wine, running inside Bochs, and I...

From what I know, peace keeping is mostly a policeman job, and a helper job (like those helicopters and military helping people in Haiti right now). Which means in the end they don't use their guns most of the time (I've seen a few documentaries, and from what I understood, even if they get...

False. WINE is not an emulator, but to get windows program work on a mac, you need an emulator, as you can't run x86 compiled program on PPC natively (well, as winelib has been ported to OS X, you can compile programs to run on mac, but that's pretty much all you can do without an emulator). The...

Quebec is the most leftist province in Canada, and we have a tradition of being mostly against war, against military stuff and guns. Something that we don't have in common with the west. So yes, I think Quebec has more chances to go the way I want it to. And yes, if the country is a place I...

What the hell are you talking about? I don't want to trash Canada, nor care only about Quebec. I'm only saying that in the current condition, ie a liberal government that wants to centralize everything, I'd vote yes. Obviously, if we had a federal government that lets the province decide in...

I don't want to make this a separation of Quebec issue. I wasn't separatist before, and I still didn't like them. But since you just don't like separatists, it gets kind of useless to discuss any of these matters with you. Oh and btw, if the Greens or the NDP would lead the country, I'd...

But the thing is, Harper wants to use these troops for offensive war. That makes one hell of a difference. I don't mind increasing the military budget of a few millions to get them what they really need to perform their peace-keeping missions (which means no tanks, no useless boats), but that's...

Great, so does that mean we're finally getting rid of you? Obviously a ban wasn't enough...

And tanks? I disagree with any war Mr. Harper dreams of getting us into. I support peace-keeping missions, trying to improve the life of those who have been victim of war. Which can be done without increasing the spending, since we're already doing it right now. I wouldn't mind much getting a...

For you maybe. For me, it's ten more reasons not to vote for them, just adding to the fact that they despise french-speaking people and bilinguism (No, I won't vote for someone who hates me). But hey, if you think guns have ever solved anything, go ahead, vote for them. Well, since I...

Errrr no, Google won't notice the difference between an HTML and a PHP page, as in the end, the only thing that gets indexed is HTML. And since PHP is server side, the only thing you get when you call the page is still HTML. The only thing that can interfere with Google is session management...

The new conservative party is a no-no for me. Even if I'm a convinced socialist, I'm down to earth enough to imagine myself voting for moderates conservatives like Joe Clark. But Stephen Harper and his friends (and they've proven it again yesterday) don't care about Quebec nor about the official...

Download tabbrowser extensions if you haven't done so yet. Go in the context menu, and just disable any action associated with middle click if you don't like it. And maybe it's not the way you want it to work, but I don't think the middle click action is flawed. Actually, I couldn't live...

The more you eat at McDonalds, the lesser your life expectancy. Therefore, people who don't check their order live longer.
