Btw, why use CD-R's when you have CD-RW's.
P.S. I haven't gone through all the comments, and I don't care if the two lines above are redundant.;)
"What role, if any, do you think Wikipedia should play in education?"
At the most the links to more reliable sources available at the bottom of the article, and may be the pictures. I have nothing against Wiki. Infact, I use it often on a daily basis(collecting useless info, of course), but I would certainly not include into education. The state of education is bad in most places as it is.
I kind of suspected that, because the rest of the comments here seemed to from the average-AI.:P

Oh, and there's a 'Reply' button right on top of the very first comment, underneath the 'I am willing to help test Slashdot's New Discussion System.' banner.:)
I'd include Sophie Germaine[wikipedia.org]
Germain was particularly interested in Joseph-Louis Lagrange's teachings and submitted papers and assignments under the pseudonym "Monsieur Le Blanc", a former student of Lagrange's. Lagrange was so impressed by the paper that he asked to meet Le Blanc, and Germain was forced to reveal her identity to him. Lagrange apparently considered her a talented mathematician and became her mentor.
On a lighter note, how about Britney spears[britneyspears.ac]?;)
P.S. I don't post much at/.. Could someone tell me how to post a comment without replying to an earlier comment?(i.e. Reply to This).
I don't think so. It's flawless in Windows, and during the bursts of speed in Linux, it's usually at full speed and after some time it starts slowing down. I often have to pause and resume a few times(using Opera) when I download files. Surfing the net takes up most of the time I'm in front of the computer, and this little problem prevents me from using Ubuntu regularly.
Thanks for the link. In fact, it was worse before I blacklisted (globally) IPv6. I don't have an actiontec modem (I come from a different part of the world), but I'll give it a try if I face the same problem with Edgy.
As I said, it's only for some users. Sometimes, updates as small as a few hundred KB's take many minutes to completely download (on a 256 kbps connection), and sometimes it never does until after a few tries. I'm going to completely remove 6.06 and do a fresh install to see if things change.
I'm a first time Linux user, and Ubuntu's been installed for a couple of months alongside XP in my computer. As can be seen at the Ubunut Forums, there is a problem with the internet connection for some Ubuntu users. It(DSL)stays fast, but only for a short time and then it becomes inactive. I don't believe I could let Ubuntu update with such a connection. I hope it gets better with this version.
I guess, in some cases, Linux does depend on Windows.:P *Runs and hides*

Surely, you must mean Devil worshippers.
Now they have to remember to run those anti-spyware and AV softwares everyday! :(
Now we can start using superconductors instead of the old semiconductor.
Ballmer needs to be calmer.
This is the Wrong Pi day. The correct one falls at precisely twenty-six and half seconds past 01:59 hours localtime on the 31st of April! :P
Now do you realise what are the cons of leaving your computer on when not using it?
Is this a new record for the longest /. article?
Sorry for the off-topic Q. ;)

What, now Silicon Valley becomes Hafnium Valley?

I think you're over-doing it with those silly comments. You can stop now, thanks.
