Lame. Wine is a sort of poster-child application for everything that has ever turned off the general public from Linux as an operating system: * 10 year long pre-release period * ludicrous pre-release public testing period ends and it still doesn't really work well enough to rely upon professionally * World's most ubiquitous program (Outlook) not supported * World's 2nd most used program (Word) can't use it's most important and frequently called-upon feature (Spell Check) Wine also brings with it the culture of the 1990's Linux development world. It has an arrogant, nerdy name (if you say the word recursive around non-nerds, they will furrow their brows and look at you like you have a second head). The name is arrogant because the name itself tries to force the user to refer to the program "properly", because programmer nerds always have to be right and don't care about getting along with people. Wine is built by the wrong people with the wrong personalities using the wrong mission the goals of which are not accomplished. Scrap it. Let a newer, younger group of people without chips on their shoulders who are more secure with themselves and their technological interest start over from scratch and reduce the scope so they can actually finish and succeed in a short period of time. "But it's free!" And worth every penny I paid for it. »

While the author may find KFlickr useful for using Flickr, and it may be, the purpose for which it is recommended... not so good. Flickr is not a viable option for backing up of digital photographs. Flickr forces photos to a max size of 1024x768. Today's cameras take photos at 3000x2000+ sizes and provide exceptional clarity. Using Flickr to back up photos is a huge mistake. In fact, using any online facility for the purposes of additional storage at today's network speeds is a foolish decision. Instead, go to Walmart and purchase a $100 USB powered portable hard drive and simply drag your photos folder to it weekly. That is the only real backup solution that is worth anything these days. All other options: burning discs, USB thumb drives, and most especially storage on the web are HUGE MISTAKES. »
