LiveCD Lets You Try Out Project Looking Glass
remember_beos writes "Sun created Project Looking Glass (LG3D) as a 'proof of concept' not long ago. It is an environment for Linux, like KDE or Gnome, but with some really great 3D functionality. More than just eye-candy, LG3D provides functional use of an extra spatial dimension on your desktop. Now there is a LiveCD for us all to try it out."

What speed are you guys getting at the moment? Looks like the "maintenance" has come early.
Rock that crushes, Paper & Scissors that don't matter.

a plague upon your servers, sun!

Yes. And your OSX apps as well. They're twice as lickable in 3D!!! Even better you can use this over E17 for a thrice lickable win32/linux/osx environment tour de force. K apps have a little trouble sometimes though. Sorry.
Note to self: No more arguing with the faithful.
You bet. These video cards can handle marathon 12 hour gaming sessions, but they're gonna break like matchsticks under the burden of running a WINDOWING system.
Nice going, you managed to slashdot the sun, I guess we'll have to implode Saturn now.
I am one of many. My idea is not unique, nor do I expect my voice alone to sway you. I speak in a chorus of opinion.
Doesn't it sound strange to you?
You sure got that right, what the heck did you just say?
2 - Does your screen have a few nasty looking smudges on it or anything? *shiver* Ewww...
Probably not anymore.... double-eww.

No we're down to a ? KB/s and an estimate of 80 days so I'm off for a world cruise. I'll send you guys a postcard:)
The first rule of slashdot is: you do not talk about solutions to the slashdot effect.
Any guesses as to the second rule?
That's not a soda... it's a caffeine delivery device!
If you were thinking the same I am, it's Jupiter that needs imploding. And all these base belong to you, except Europa, attempt no landing there :)
