In a year two CS class, Applications Programming (an introduction course to APIs and whatnots), we have been offered "educational" registration keys to SQL2000, WinXP and VB.Net. Apparently these keys are for life (I haven't tested this yet), but only for non-profit use. We are given access to the software via borrowing the 8 cd set over night, to freely burn. Now, that's quite a package for free *cough* when the course costs (US)$300.
Weta, the graphics power house behind Peter Jackson, have recently purchased NZ Herald: "[476 systems] at 2.2GHz with four gigabytes of memory each. The 950 processors will be added to 350 existing 1GHz Pentium 3 systems as part of a dedicated "render wall" comprising 22 racks." These will be running Renderman software on RedHat. For all those army sceens in LOTR, Grunt (Guaranteed Rendering of Unlimited
Numbers of Things) was used, an in house product by Jon Allitt.

On the second day of January, Linux had generated more Love and Community Spirt than the Microsoft Corporation (will for the entire year).""
Imagine the headlines: "America Hack's England"
Shocking?
But after the "media hype" filter: "MPAA DoS's London Business"
Still shocking?
