I think windows will become a smaller operating system while linux will become bigger. Microsft may eventually make a large chunk of money from making it’s software compatible with linux.

@HelpMePlzNty, haven’t tried changing directories. Does it work with the default directory?

Hey dude ,
Thanx for the great tutorial !!

I got everything working if a play a normal game ! However I use Garena when I play Warcraft online. and Garena basically takes the “war3.exe” icon instead of the default “FrozenThrone.exe” icon and when I right-click on the “war3.exe” icon, select Properties, then click on the Launcher tab.I cannot find the place to put the command of the -openGL because it is not a launcher as i said before.

SO here is my question ? Is there an option in wine or Do you know how to make all the games in wine to be an -opneGL defaulted without going to the icon and then inserting the -openGL comand ??

Much appreciated

Comment on I want a Teensy++ 2.0 Board! by Tobe

This boards is amazing!
I have a Teensy 2.0, Teensy++ 2.0, a Arduino Duemilanove, a Freeduino and Arduino Mega!
The possibilities of DIY hacking is amazing! Even using this on consoles like ps3 and xbox!
If you want a cheap solution, and with good resources, check the Arduino website (http://www.arduino.cc/) and buy a alternative board for arduino (like the freeduino that is more cheap and is 100% compatible).

Comment on Playing Angry Birds on Linux by punongbisyonaryo

No problem, dude. One of the philosophies I’ve since adopted since switching to Ubuntu was the FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) philosophy, and I also gained more respect for developers’ work.

When it’s free and “libre”, by all means share it. But when it’s not libre, give what is due.

Since then, all my Wii games are orig. Linux software I use for photography is paid for. Angry Birds is only $4.99.:)

Dude, that's called software piracy! You can buy Angry Birds through their store at http://www.rovio.com/index.php?page=angry-birds.
