1:03 AM EST 		Of course it's up with 50% . Me and my friends visited that site every day , with a different distro, with a different IP address. Say thanks, all of you !!!!!!!!!

Serious.......I do appreciate the effort, but no matter what you do, chances are that you are out with a 500%.

OK , back to work !!!!!!!

As far as he is concerned Android is a better market than desktop Linux. Which means he won't even bother giving the WINE people any information to help them make his application usable on Linux.
