I've had a look of the latest KDE via the SUSE Linux 9.1 LiveEval CD and it's fantastic.
I've never liked Gnome (never bothered with it) and looking at the screenshots and "features" it now seems further behind KDE than ever.
Gnome is now completely dead to me and isn't Novell dropping it or something?, which is a shame if it means KDE guys will work less hard.
stop crying that no one likes you. it's not about your PhD or your Mensa membership, it's about you being sarcastic and belittling others' work when in fact you are just wrong.
I've heard people talk of these ridiculously high costs for books in the US before. in my experience it isn't true here in the UK: to me an expensive book is above 30, and a book above 40 has no chance. also I've bought ~6 books over my 4 year degree, mostly because I wanted to, you are never required to buy a book.
in my courses (physics) the point of lectures is to obtain a set of notes good enough to work completely on their own in most cases. questions and answers are also provided by lecturers.
without wanting to sound like a flame or anything, is it possible that in the US lecturers just can't be bothered or aren't given the resources to teach their pupils properly and so fall back on textbooks which the money-grabbing publishers are happy to exploit (I've heard tales of unnecessary book-CD bundles etc. all just to inflate prices).
seriously, we have a 16 node beowulf cluster and each node has an unnecessarily good graphics card in them. a lot of the calculations are matrix-based e.g. several variables each 1xthousands (1D) or hundredsxhundreds (2D).
how feasible and worthwhile do you think it would be to tap into the extra processing power?

let me guess, you have a degree in humanities?
don't take it out on scientists just because you wasted the best years of your life.
no, the media is full of ignorant people who consistently fail to report linux etc. are not affected because they are fundamentally more secure - they make it sound like, "THIS time linux users were lucky to not be targetted".
please MS DO NOT allow updates. once people start having problems with Windows it provides the "activation energy" to bother thinking about changing to something else.
if MS made a genuine attempt to stop piracy it would be the beginning of their end.
but also some responsibility on the retards who didn't get a secure system - MS is officially unsuitable for this sort of thing.
if the virus writer is the "terrorist" then the coast guard admin is the idiot who ignored the "we're coming to bomb $building at $time on $day in a $colour van with registration $reg" message.
yeah, I don't think MS has control over TCP/IP. plus if they make Windows incompatible with Linux servers, guess what - MS users can't use the internet, not the other way around.

using something as small, cheap and common as a hammer I may cause significant disruption to *all* computer activity within walking distance.
that's great if it's replacing windows and if the business use stimulates development, but I'll stick to KDE for now and the forseeable future.

extrapolating to the general state of 4 billion people from one 14 year old?
damn, that's a new level for retardedness. how about we extrapolate from Columbine?
...over an AMD-style rating system instead of GHz.
the resulting transfer of angular momentum changes the Earth's orbit moving it slightly further away from the Sun.
the increased distance and lower temperature makes cooling easier. AMD stock set to skyrocket.

>How about if somebody else did this for you and called it a "book"?
possible for some courses but not others where we are learning stuff that won't be published in a good text book until next year.
actually the number of foreign students to the US has dropped hugely recently due to excessively difficult visa apllications
an .mp3 to see what it sounds like?
... if it's open source it'll be easy to spot a rip-off, if it's CrossOver-style proprietary then what's the point - just use CrossOver anyway!
like I said problems are supplied by the lecturer (better since it's more relevant to the actual course and exam) and so are copies of diagrams etc.
understanding copyright law is your friend - you are allowed to copy a certain amounts of textbook for private study etc.

your huge ignorance was blocking the screen.
it stands for "Graphics Processing Unit".
a beowulf cluster of them.
seriously, we have a 16 node beowulf cluster and each node has an unnecessarily good graphics card in them. a lot of the calculations are matrix-based e.g. several variables each 1xthousands (1D) or hundredsxhundreds (2D).

tires are not designed to run over multiple nails at high speed, Windows *is* designed to access the internet, handle email etc.
no, I find it surprising that there are people on /. who still see ads and expect other people to see ads too.

how about finding the cure instead of wasting time on /. ?
if you're too stupid to help find a cure, you could have worked some overtime and donated money instead.

>the average home users is close to (if not above) 3.0 HT procs today
if that's true there must be loads of people running 5GHz processors - where can I get mine?
maybe we know it's BS but still find it funny?
guess what, you know that Monty Python sketch with the dead parrot? IT WAS COMPLETELY FICTICIOUS!!!!
no thanks!
seems like JD combines the worst aspects of linux with the worst aspects of Windows.
plus Sun is dying, or so I've heard.

you obviously didn't read the /. article about MS patenting "working out how long someone holds down a button"
