OK well;
How well do Darwinia 1.42 and 1.5.X run in wine on linux vs natively?
In theory, MW should perform similarly to whichever renderer IV are using for MW (which obviously I know but can't divulge).
The only problem that may be experienced is being unable to bind the sockets necessery for employing the interweb side of things - I imagine if defcon works in wine then Multiwinia might too. So... does Defcon work in Wine?
Hup two, linux users!

Not directly after launch - I even remember sending a mail or PM to Chris saying the Tournament forums were still closed which weren't needed anymore - but soon enough. Basically the NDA is only about limiting the release of information while the game is in development, as soon as the game is released there is no reason people shouldn't be allowed to read it - it's not important which bugs were in the beta versions and screenshots can be made by players as soon as they have the game themselves.

Just to remind you that our beta NDAs last for a year from the date we were issued them. Ergo I'd want our posts to be archived until the last NDA expires, however the history of beta testing does not show this; The Darwinia beta forum was, as far as I can tell, deleted when it was finished. The Defcon forums were also given the same treatment. One does not expect anything unique this time around.

Wha? Deleted you say?
Jelco
Ha, I'm blind. Hell, now that I see it, I even remember moving it about. Plus, in theory, it's been well over a year since any of us signed NDAs for that stuff. I ponder if it should be made open...

But it already is open and has been for ages.

I have Infectious mononucleosis (and thus a swollen spleen!). That's my excuse!

I would assume that the NDA lasts for a year from signing or, until we are released from it by IV.

Or not sleeping enough, as a friend of mine recently discovered. At first he thought he had some awkward acne, but no, that wasn't it.
Jelco
Note to self: more sleep.
How long did he sleep per day/week?
NeoThermic, hope you get well soon.

In all seriousness, get better!
Depending on how long I've had it, it could really have been from one of two girls. Hopefully this is towards the end of the illness, as I do not want a swollen spleen for the next two months.

Last I checked, the NDAs from IV do not contain any release clauses out side of expiration, meaning that in legal terms we can't be released from the NDA until it expires.

Yes, but it does say we can mention anything IV have chosen to make public. So, if IV did choose to make the whole beta forums public, then we are effectively released from it.

The whole point of discussion is whether or not the NDA allows the forums to become public or not.
Jelco
Introversion itself isn't gagged by the NDA so opening the beta forums would not be a violation of anything.
So at this point its all semantics but once/if Introversion opens the beta forum, all NDA'd info becomes public therefore the NDA is essentially released.
