Actually you have only 1 true general-purpose license for the Windows OS (non-server) from an MSDN subscription. The other 10 (or would that be 9?) are development-only licenses, so you may be able to code and test with them, you could only play a game or check email (for example) on one of them. The same goes for Office from MSDN.
All other products from MSDN do NOT have this "one free use" license and are development-only. (You can't keep your company's customer list in an MSDN licensed SQL Server)
Iâ(TM)m still not clear on the rules for this software AFTER your subscription run out.
The orignal VC++.NET compiler has been out for awhile now. Actually, the *next* version of the VC++ complier is in beta, part of Visual Studio.NET 2003. It's supposta be very complient to ansi c++, when compaired to older versions, but I don't know if it's faster...
I have 2 21" monitors (ViewSonic p810s) on a Matrox G450... I've been using this setup for maybe 4 years (at work, so I'm in front of them all day)... I'm still waiting to develop some cool super powers...
> No one (that I know at least) wants windows that maximize across monitors
Ummm, I guy I work with leaves his IDE (Visual Studio) maximized across both screens... and manages his MDI windows among the two screens. (he uses a track ball too... geesh!)
Actually where I work most developers use dual monitors. Since I've been here I've used at least three different setups (including an expensive Appian Jeronimo card). By far the Matrox G450 has been the best... mainly for the fact it was the first single card solution with true WINDOWS multi-monitor support. Amen to Cecil's rant on the subject!
My company, a little over a year ago, moved offices. The software developers (including myself) went from private offices to cubes.
As you can guess no one was (or is) happy about it, this topic is the source of endless debate and complaints to this day. Now, we have really nice cube, with pseudo "doors", but it doesn't help.
The higher ups called the new layout more "collaborative". We collaborated fine before, now try to squeeze two people into a cube to try to work together. The conversation carries across half the office, disturbing everyone else. The only advantage is I yell across the room to others without getting up where before I had to actually go into the hall (gee, what a plus).
Here is a short list of other complaints (besides noise):
Lighting: I 'm really sensitive to glare from florescent lights, trying to unhook the ones above me isn't an option since others around me prefer to no sit in the dark.
Temperature: Our old offices had adjustable air vents. They really didn't work great, but what little they did was helpful to those who are cold/hot all the time.
Privacy: I know the intimate details of all those how sit around me from their personal phone calls. I've gotten good at talking in code to my wife about personal issues, that's a plus.
Walls: Hard to hang Pictures, whiteboards, posters, calendars, on cube walls.
Have and Have-nots: Some people have offices, some have cubes.
College course work on a game system? Is that right? Damn, we had to use a VAX;(
Anyway, don't you need a license from Sony to develop software for the dreamcast? If you don't have one, how is wrong to restrict access to a tool that's only purpose is do development, even if its academic.
Anyone remember the TProBSS software (Apple)? Certain versions had an integrated online RPG where you could fight other users...? Unlike other system's online games (doors?) it was completly intgrated into the entire system (to create a new account, you created a new charater)...

Polybius. It has the opposite effect.
Will Mono development switch from CVS?

Oh Yeah? Will it play Playstation 8 games?
Cool, now the way is paved for OS/3! I'm holding my breath!
Long, but a lot of info:

Well THANK GOD Lance Bass is safe!

If there is any way you could be sued then...
Say something good and it's not true: the company sues you...
Be honest and say something bad: the employee sues you...

This was way better then Everquest!
