I also understand his frustration. I bought this game because of Introversions past performance with linux, and have a game sitting here that I can't play. Wine just isn't cutting it.

Isn't that reason enough?

My theory is people shorted mathematics and turned it into a verb over here. i.e. I'm doing some math. Thus, because it was being used as a verb the plural was dropped. You are using math as a noun in that sentence. To use it as a verb would be to say "He maths," or "I generally math...

Here's a question for you gerbil. I've always wanted to know why are friends over the Atlantic refer to math in the plural? Well 'math' and 'maths' are shortened forms of 'mathematics'. So the question is, why is 'mathematics' in the plural, and why did you drop the s? Good point. My theory is peop...

No, as I've mentioned in other forums posts, SOD doesn't even know the definition of irony.

Though, I suppose after all this I should be expecting a response like that.

No one's forcing anyone to read any posts, right? Very Happy SODsniper You're missing the point entirely . You may think so.. That is your perogative... Personally, I think it is YOU who is missing the point. That aside, must you turn EVERY THREAD into a Flame Fest??? SODsniper When one of its part...

Dude, mobious, and more specifically SOD, are simply trolls who get off on making nuisances of themselves by continually putting forth their points of view even after turning one other thread into a flame war. THEY ARE RIGHT and damn you for disagreeing. Otherwise, you might be a spineless Democrat....

Here's a question for you gerbil. I've always wanted to know why our friends over the Atlantic refer to math in the plural?

But if ya'all keep jumping on me about, you can damn well be sure I am going to respond.. In other words, if YOU people shut up about it, so will I.... Get it?? SOD...

It works fine for me except for being able to connect to games. I can host, but it's unstable and I don't want people to think the host quit cause he was losing (which I'm apt to do) so I don't host.

Damn, reading this topic in the general forum got my hopes up. I should have known better, though.

I just tried Defcon on a newly compiled wine-0.9.24 and what I have tried so far .. it works (which is basically the tutorials, although it seems to crash during tutorial 6 for some reason) Only "annoyance" I have found so far .. is that I can't get it to run full screen .. no problem run...

I'm probably being really stupid here, but I just upgraded from Xubuntu 6.06 to Xubuntu 6.10 and now uplink won't start. It gives this error message ./lib/uplink.bin.x86: ./lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) and here is my gcc gcc --version gcc (GC...

I would also add myself to that list, if possible.
