I have a.ac.uk connection and would really like SUSE linux 8.0 when it arrives but I cannot really afford to buy it. Why can't i download the full cd set? I dont need the extra support from buying it
There is no way i could afford to buy visual studio and office 2000 (XP now) but m$ do/did them from £99 so I won both. The same goes for mathematica which i have on student licence again for much less that the retail price of the "pro" versions.
A lot of companies are no realising that people stick with what they know. Give a student a discount on your software and when they go on to ear big bucks they will buy the retail versions. (Hello calling macromedia)

Actually the scissors dont close instantly. The clsoing action propergates along the metal at the speed of sound in the metal. Same with waggling a long rod. Speed of sound in steel = 5000m/s ish right? (i dunno the real number)
Same with tugging on a lightyear long rope doesn't "instantly" send information to the otherend
Acer Travel mates (well my 312T) do the same thing in SUSE linux. If you shut the case it goes into suspend mode (function key +f3) to hybernate fully i needed to leave a fat32 40MB partition to dump the ram to as the bios didn;t seem to want to dump to the linux parition.
Obviously i dont use the laptop for large numerical simulations but i just tested it with a fortan numbercruncher program running and it woke up fine
With the VIA 266a being the fastest chipset out there.... Also being rock solid stable way beyond the 133(266DDR) with the epox boards going to 200(400DDR) with good ram chips
This is even more true with big numberical simulations (that you are too lazy to port to fortan) The new Intel Compiler running on a P4 really makes the code fly even compared to MS VS6.0 (student edition)
gcc is nice in that I can run a copy to develop for my pc or use it to cross compile demos for my Dreamcast but a good IDE for C++ in linux is always going to be a good thing for those who want such a thing. There is a time and a place for two terminals and a text editor and the same is true for IDEs
I am a bit of a geek with a few PCs in my room + lapto + stero equipment like many a slashdot reader has I am sure. However I find that I possitivly cannot sleep if there is anything electrical near my bed. I accidentally left a mobile phone near me the other night and couldn't sleep a wink. Probably caused by too mush slashdotting and irc. My GF is similar she cannot sleeo with her alarm clock by her bed as it gives her nightmares
They wont fly on the moon. No air..... Seriuoslt there is loads of new tech these days that would be cheap (for nasa) to send anywhere. I am sure some neat science can be done as well
The university network run in the UK by Janet is in constant need of extra bandwidth be it for normal use (downloading linux isos from mirror.ac.uk) or for filesharing. Janet charges the UK unis around 2p per MB which can mount up if 1000s of users in halls are pulling stuff over the atlantic but interuni stuff is free.
Some universitys are now capping people at around adsl speeds to try and limit the charges
I am always interested to try new varients of unix operating systems. I will refrain for making any comments about its use until i have tried it for myself

I think that is a personal matter between the compiler and the language. Slashdot is not the place for bedroom discussions
So, you've been to LA recently :o) *ducks*

No, you mean the browser wars of the mid ninties!

Well I thought what you said was funny
Where does ALL YOU BASE occur?
It's weird Al allowed to make his songs so similar to the original becuase they are parodies. Surely the the same is true for this film?

You wait until they port dreamcast games to it. MMM Chu Chu Rocket
Generally -4C and almost silent running. A few overclockers UK people get 1.4 g athlons to 1.8/1.9
You can have a -4C vapochill case
Are there really people who have to know UML within 24 hours?
I will let you know in 5 weeks when I need to han my UML stuff in for uni project!
That doesn't mean you cannot turn it off.
All seven discs are encoded with the Macrovision(TM) AntiCopy process. The above information pertains to the North American release only.
:o)
When are we getting them in region 2? Will ours be macrovision free? As we know only you US guys copy them to VHS for leet pirate salez

No we have to convince everybody to use it.
Nobody like having to find specific versions for their systems. (unless you're source junkies)
