From: Tim Brown - Bentley Date: Wed, 1 Jul 1998 08:23:06 -0400 Zot, we do have a Linux version of MicroStation that is included in our Academic Kits. It is not available commercially due to the limited requests we have had for that OS. We support Wintel(95/NT/DOS), Dec AlphaNT, SGI, SUN, IBM(AIX), HP(HPUX), POWERMAC, OS/2Warp & Intergraph Clippers. Feel free to call me with any other questions.

Are you sure TeX doesn't do layout? Admittedly, I've never used plain TeX, only LaTeX, but it seems to produce very nicely laid out text and diagrams.
For instance, the tables and diagrams are placed in such a way that they are visually appealing and interrupt the flow of text as little as possible. Also, section headings and paragraphs are placed intelligently, e.g. headings are never placed at the bottom of a page.
Certain processes are vital to the computer's operation and should not be killed. For example, after I took the screenshot of myself being attacked by csh, csh was shot by friendly fire from behind, possibly by tcsh or xv, and my session was abruptly terminated.
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what your post means, but i *assume* it's meant to be sarcastic.
Anyway, are you *really* saying that the world would be a better place if somebody went about essentially replicating all the years of effort that have gone into XFree, just so that it can be given a slightly different licence?
After looking at their website, it seems you have to use special software to connect to the 0800 service. Is this really true? If so, I guess there's no hope for linux connectivity.
Maybe it's possible to connec via windows, grab the connection parameters then use linux.
OK, so the humour icon might be a little tasteless. However, to me, this really shows the power of the internet (if not the power of the host computer and its internet connection!), and the way that current affairs and news coverage is changing (although admittedly this probably wouldn't make a terribly interesting TV program).
Gibson is an ideas man. The concepts within Neuromancer were mind-blowing, especially considering he was writing in 1984. However, he really is a very bad writer, and it was quite easily one of the stodgiest, most heavy-going books I've read in ages.
I know this may sound a stupid question, but how does one actually go about running, say, a Fortran program on a Beowulf cluster?
Is a special compiler needed, or libraries?
And is it reasonably straightforward to convert a non-parallel program to run on such a cluster?
I've done some programming on a Cray-T3D and for the right kind of problem it's actually very simple to effectively exploit its parallel nature , for instance, using High Performance Fortan or one of its newer incarnations, such as 90.
For the correct problem is it this simple to get the full benefit of the Beowulf cluster?
I know this might sound naive, but whatever happened to going to college for its own sake?
My degree in physics didn't really give me much of a background in computing (aside from learning Fortran!), but was extremely interesting and allowed me to study in depth an important and even (although not often!) exciting subject.
Having said that, my PhD afforded me with much time to mess around with Linux...

Come on! Mallrats is Smith's best film. Easily his most watchable, and funniest.
And for those of us who own a Volkswagen, it's even funnier...
if only i had mod points right now!
i thought exactly the same thing. NY the kernel of western civilisation? I don't think so
Brilliant: slip-on latex protectors for preventage of VD!! (Voltage Destruction) Pill packaged devices do not require protection!
My god, what is it with Americans that they think they have to work 12 hour days and take 2 weeks holiday a year??
Europe has certainly got it right here...
You're totally correct - the article makes a ridiculous comparison, and trivialises the abhorrent crime of rape.
For example, a FAR better analogy to have used would be selling tape recorders with a 'Record' button, say.
Can somebody please explain:
Is it possible to just make an exact copy of a DVD disc, without having to worry about decrypting the information?
If so, CSS is no protection whatsoever and can ONLY be seen as a ploy to restrict playback to registered machines.
Check out this issue of Graphics Muse for a nice piece on the academic version:

I saw this on some mailing list. You know what to do ;)

The academic version is available for Linux, although it is unsupported.

What better way to name a computer than after your favourite tipple? You'll NEVER run out of drinks, surely?
Budvar,
Glenmorangie,
Staropramen,
Stolichnaya,
Deuchars...
Mmmmm...

Man, that is funny! I NEED to download now!

If so, then be my guest
my thoughts are that it would be a complete and utter waste of effort.
;)
what is wrong with you guys and your 'politics'???
(bit of a troll, i know
Qt 2.x would NOT be a waste of space. It's an extremely simple-to-use toolkit, which has tons of widgets and *excellent* documentation.
;)
(This could easily spark off YAFW - yet another flame war - so i'll stop here
Apologies in advance, as this HAS been done to death already, BUT:
;)
Could someone please explain in simple terms why QT is not seen as 'free'? (as in speech)
Didn't it get the seal of approval a while back, with the new QT2.0 licence?
Now, a cynical type might believe that RedHat not including KDE and QT is not *entirely* ideologically based...

Does anyone have any experience of this service?

Quick question everyone:
When printing a page WHY does it have to be downloaded again? Surely, if it's sitting there in front of me it doesn't have to be downloaded once more?
No attempt is made to even use a cached version...
Most bizarre.
