You can download the 1.29 patch and use Wine to install it. You have to get the 50MB uber-fix patch because the normal ones can't be used since NWUpdater doesn't work under Wine.
The problem with RISC OS is not its UI, but the OS itself. Very few people are going to be willing to go back to the days of co-operative multitasking, lack of memory protection and lack of multiple user support.
Not to mention how poorly shared libraries are supported.
Nobody knows where the information is coming from. Nobody can tell the NAMBLA forums are now on your PC (Despite the fact you can't do that with Freenet anyway).
After all, how can you be liable for the information in your Freenet node when you can't tell and there's no way to find out?
SciFi used "rising costs" as an argument. However, the Jim Henson company stated SciFi wanted more control over the distribution. With more rights comes higher price.
The Farscape producers were under the assumption they were going into a fifth season. After all, SciFi bought it for a fourth and fifth season. Thus, they left season four on a huge cliff-hanger and were going to wrap it all up in season five, much like Babylon 5. However, the end result is a cliff-hanger that may never be resolved.
So, to answer your question, the fans want a fifth season, they want resolution of the series and they want more Farscape.
Seeing as you're in that position, what signs do you look for to try and determine if somebody isn't a complete n00b pretending to be some sort of god-like coder because he read a book on C++?
I've been lucky to have an internship (Of sorts, it's just a summer job in a computer science area) the past Summer and this coming Summer, but it was very difficult to get the job and I'm concerned I'll not be so lucky next time. I've had various side-projects, from web sites to IM clients to compilers, but I want to have that edge at an interview that screams "I actually know what I'm talking about, I'm not bull-shitting my way through after having read Java-For-Wankers".
Computer Science is about so much more than programming. For example, I'm currently studying things like AI, real-time systems and their requirements, formal mathematics, computer graphics.
Being able to program is only a small part of what computer science is about. I certainly wouldn't trust somebody who happened to learn programming as a side-line to design a real-time system.
OK, so it's got more features, but I much prefer the look of the T68i. Seriously, I far prefer the curvy features to the brick-like ones of this phone.
Damn straight I'd claim otherwise. All that atheism is is the belief there is no God(s) (in any form) or afterlife. The ones that try to dismantle religion probably do so because they see the harm it causes. I don't try to dismantle religion, but if something is being pushed for religious reasons, I'll try and stop it if it'll negatively affect me (Such as a law banning research into something because "God didn't intend us to").
Hmm...my university still teaches OpenGL exclusively in its compsci course. In fact, no 3rd and 4th year projects that I can think of use Direct3D rather than OpenGL, whereas there's a fair bit of interest in.NET.
As for DirectX being easier to pick up than OpenGL, I'd have to disagree. While I've only dabbled in OpenGL, friends of mine seem to have an easier job of going Direct3D->OpenGL than the other way round.
Actually, making things skinnable from the start isn't a bad idea at all. Whenever I change my KDE theme, all my KDE apps look fine with the new theme. Now, take Office XP. In Outlook, it has *two* types of scrollbar in the main Window.
Well, assuming you mean American college aka university, isn't that what dissertations and final year projects are all about? My housemate has a project that he's having serious problems with because the problem solver runs out of memory on any non-trivial problems.
Bloody hell, why do you people not understand that Slashdot has a lot of posters with conflicting opinions?! Fucking hell, how hard is it to realise that the people condeming Castle may not be the ones condoning copying music?
Err...if X is in the kernel, when it crashes, everybody else logged into your system loses their apps. If X isn't in the kernel, when it crashes, only one person loses their apps.
THG should benchmark how quickly you can dupe a story with those CPUs.
"The Pentium 100 managed a painful 48 hours between dupes. However, the P4 managed it in just 30 minutes. That's nearly 100 times as fast! Don't you wish you had such a powerful system? Our advertisers do."

"the creators have the right to cancel it if they want to."
But the creators didn't want to cancel it...

This question has been answered already on several fan sites. Every "official" reason has been debunked.
But people are watching Farscape. It's second only to SG1 in SciFi's ratings.

I found there was a considerable difference in the T68i version. The T68 was intollerable, but the T68i is just fine for me.
Why would SDL need to get installations? The game could just ship SDL and install it along with the game.

Game-specific optimisations like that could break if a point-release changed the behaviour of the graphics engine.
Because starting the transition after you've hit the brick wall is probably not a good idea.

Err...video encoding? After all, aren't iMovie and Windows Movie Maker aimed at the consumer market?
He said *by* everyone, not *to* everyone.

Name some eye candy that can't be turned off that slows KDE down horribly.
