I ran this code on "2.6.5-gentoo-r1 #4 SMP Thu May 27 19:12:27 GMT 2004 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux" and although it didn't crash, gnome started acting all odd, and none of the terminals were responsive. They just kept printing out the prompt. Still, I could browse slashdot while the code was running, and could run some applications. Although when I went to open another terminal it opened 6.
I think you are wrong or lying about eircom and your heavy usage. I have many friends who use them and generally use up their 8Gb a month, and sometimes more. Satellite connections are readily available, do a search. IOL have unmetered dial up to 180 hrs a month.
I live in Ireland, I have looked and experienced at what is available. I think you are being very childish. If you truly are moving to Madrid because of this reason alone, then you are moving out of pure ignorance.
Your wrong about broadband. It's quite readily available, and at a reasonable price. IOL has 16Gb cap at 47Euro/month, or 8Gb at 39Euro. UTV has 8Gb at 30Euro, Eircom have something similar, at to netsource. There are many, many companies offering satellite or wireless broadband in the country too. The situation with broadband in Ireland was very bad a few years ago, but its very reasonable not. Get your facts straight.

Slashdot Mirror
With the crap stories that have been posted today, I think perhaps the slashdot editors ARE taking it easy on the seventh day
