Sorry.. In the process of deleting 25 spam I didn't unselect the sticky at the top. At least we can start afresh.

Free XP SP3 on cd - https://om2.one.microsoft.com/opa/CASea ... Code=en-us

I get an error trying to view it, can anyone confirm the website works?

It just gives me a cookie error on every browser I've tried (Firefox and IE).

EDIT: If nobody else can get it to work I'll delete all posts associated with it in order to keep the thread clean.

Here also ...

" In order to use this site, you must have Cookies Enabled on your browser. "

dans34: What Country and Operating System? Anything else that may be relevant?

UK , Ubuntu 10.04 , Firefox 3.6.8

I also get a cookie error with that site, even after enabling cookies.

UK, XP Home SP3, Chrome 5.0.375.127 non-incognito mode, not working here.

Remind me to try it on my Linux machine.

OpenSolaris Live CD: http://www.opensolaris.com/get/index.jsp [I got a free CD too but I can't find the order form]
Intel x86 and x86-64 developer manuals on CD or PDF downloads: http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/

Both ordered and delivered to UK mainland.

Sort of free - Windows Small Business Server 2008
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/eval ... 84870.aspx

I say "sort of" because I'm getting charged for shipping; you may have better luck.
Why doesn't Microsoft put a cancel button on their order forms?

The disc is charged for here too! Free trial my, erm, donkey.

Well, it looks like that URL is an SID of sorts (as in it is generated for every computer). Anyways, here are links for XP SP3 on CD:
North America
Asia
Europe

That links works for me, but its not free (here = Netherlands)

€8.00 .

Derp, any of you got PS3s?

This: http://www.atmel.com/forms/Samples.asp?family_id=607
Plus this: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools ... ol_id=3879
Plus this: http://www.ps3news.com/PS3-Hacks/psgroo ... -released/

equals: free jailbreak, sans paying the $30 for the AT90USBKEY.

I already had a Teensy2 on hand, so I didnt need an AT90USBKEY, but I did order some samples from Atmel a while back to build an Arduino shield.
Just fill out the forms with GOOD info, and please, do not use Yahoo or Hotmail accounts for the e-mail field. Use at least a Gmail account, or a custom domain account (e.g. hwqual@skynet.jp)

I ordered one of these 1 week ago, and I am still waiting to arrive.

www.freecycle.org you insert your Province/State/Country and city and you will be sent to a yahoo groups page where there are people offering stuff for free, it is a good way to prevent landfill stuff from going to the dump.

You can even get vintage computers as well as other things.

That VPN site looks a little dodgy to say the least...

It seems to be...

Obtain a free Holy Bible:
http://www.freebibles.net/ (US Only)
http://www.freebiblesociety.org/ (Unknown)
http://www.getyourfreebible.com/ (Philippines and Africa)
http://www.mormon.org/free-bible/ (US and Canada only)
http://www.biblesenders.org/ (Worldwide)

people like sending out free bibles, but if you stay at a hotel, you can even take the bible, Gideons who prints them encourages it. However don't think about taking the paintings or the furniture, they have a online store if you want stuff that you see in the hotel room
