I own several 70's/80's calendars - there is no better artwork than what the older calendars have.

Take a look at one of Alan Lee's 1993 calendars: http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/bosse/books/93cal.ht ml. Magnificent.

Books: canon. Movies: If I'd seen the movies (WETA) before I'd read the books ("theatre of the mind"), I probably would have been more impressed.

Those who CAN imagine: read. Those who CAN'T imagine: watch.

There's an old paper called "A Rape in Cyberspace" that covers this pretty thoroughly. It concerns a very similar event that occured on Lambda Moo (a MUD/text based virtual world).

Circa 1993:
http://www.ludd.luth.se/mud/aber/articles/village_ voice.html

Just had a panel discussion at RIT regarding computer ethics. One of the readings assigned was by Julian Dibble titled "A rape in cyberspace". You may wish to read it to help you wrap your arms around this question. Here's a link:
http://www.ludd.luth.se/mud/aber/articles/village_ voice.html

This paper was written many years ago about an analogous event on a text based 'Second Life'. It's a worthwhile read, not for the legal ramifications, but for the social ramifications which may be why we need legal ramifications.

The question of rules within an olnine environment and the reality of virtual crime came up in the early ninties: http://www.ludd.luth.se/mud/aber/articles/village_ voice.html (This is a very good read, for those that don't know the story).

That article is widely regarded by people who have actually played MUDs to be completely stupid and off-base because a "rape victim" can simply log off, walk out of the room, or /ignore. And yes, it was basically "someone being creative with /emote."

Definitly bears some resemblance to Thunderbird 2 :)

That's obvious, you ban the guy, even though you promised you weren't going to use your powers to interfere in the game anymore and then watch the society you built crumble into dust.

How about:

FFDSHOW - a top-notch xvid decoder, but more importantly also real-time high-quality video "manipulator" including scaling, transformations, noise removal, subtitling, color correction, macro-deblocking, etc - the list is huge. Play your DVDs through FFDSHOW with the right settings and the good ones start to look almost like HDTV. I don't know of any one proprietary product, or even group of products, that comes close to this level of functionality.

dScaler a very high-quality video de-interlacer for both live and batch processing

DRC - digital room correction and BurteFIR an audio convolver - together they are able to turn your $100 cheap-ass stereo system into something comparable to a $5K-$10K setup. (Ok, there is expensive hardware out there to do something similar, but no software, proprietary or otherwise)

Vikings anyone?

'A furore normannorum libera nos domine'
'Skona oss herre från nordmännens raseri'
'Oh lord, save us from the rage of the Nordic people'

[A common prayer in the French churches during the 9th century.]

Those other teams probably forgot the prayer.

Your questions have been solved in another project called CUE. It haven't made much noise about itself.

Q. Do I have to add a bunch of crap to my $PATH?
A. All environment is handled by an user application called HickUP. With this application you can even create multiple environments for one user which you can switch between as needed. It also has a project manager which allowes for good controlled development environments.

Q. Will it let me recompile critical applications, either to patch them or optimize them?
A. All source are build from a single RPM for all build environments. The RPM environment is heavily controlled and demands more then usal RPM does. As an example it clears the environment and setups the environment based on dependency set in the RPMs spec file. Making the build environment the same everytime you recompile. Ofcause don't you have to install the RPMs on each computer on a large network, those times the sysadmin installs it on a NFS server and shares it to all the others. For all different OSes there is only a single RPM.

Q. What about apps with hardcoded pathnames?
A. That haven't been much of a problem for most of those compiled. All configuration and application structure have been specified to be placed in /app and /env. For some server applications the configuration are placed below /etc/app. Logs and such below /var/log/app. Over the years of building and installing and using these application in CUE it haven't been many that have had this problems. In some cases a minor patch have been needed. The CUE concept have internaly also been building CUE RPMs for commercial applications with great success, license are handled by configuration in /env where each site can specify their own license server.

Q. What about libraries?
A. The build environment when building the RPM controlls that we only use libraries from the CUE buildes or if it's a system library we allow that. Using the possibility to compile in the searchpath in each application/library for the libaray makes the application to find them without having to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Q. What about versioning?
A. Libraries are keep in the same order as applications, one version in each directory.

Q. DND Saving? What's that?
A. CUE haven't been made for end users yet on the installing part. The normal user in CUE uses the HickUP for choosing application. It was made for corporate environment for development environments from small project to distributed environments. That meaning a sysadmin are the one in controll of installing the application.

When having multiple application it's requires a strict building environment and disiplined builders to keep the quality high. Especialy when dealing with libraries.

The nice thing is that it was released by the main contributor with the GPL license. Other complaines have by that way been able to pich in and that saves alot on yor IT costs. By using signed RPMs it's also possible to know who contributed the RPM and that the build server was a valid one.

By using its own rpm it dosen't have any problems with systems already having rpm installed (normaly you don't use rpm but a wrapper script which fetches all depending rpms for the applications you want).

Kid, not everyone goes to a U of I, MIT, or even your Penn State. Schools like the one I go to betray even the most gifted of their students, and have a much bigger impact on the populace than the top schools in a state. Southern X University, University of Western X, etc have exceptionally weak curriculum, but are all that some of us can afford. Personally, I had to jump ship and go to Sweden to see my first block of code. The semester's only half-over, but I've already written more code and learned more about programming than I have in any given semester before at the University of Southern Indiana. Now that I've started a new batch of classes in the fourth quarter, I can see that, when this semester's done, I'll have done more coding here than I have in my entire career at USI.

When I look back at what I escaped, it's apparent that there's more than overcrowding and cheating to blame. Most American universities don't push a quarter of as hard as they should, and a huge portion of the blame must lay on their shoulders. You can't blame everything on students that haven't ever been challenged/tested/put in a position where they can really learn.

Those universities used to be able to turn out "impressive graduates" from people that hadn't ever SEEN a computer before they went to the university. It's time they stopped coddling the students and started teaching again.

Well, the features of the current generation (DX9 shaders) card are approaching the programability required to handle this kind of stuff fairly well. You could design a crisp, sharp-edged model and procedurally, with your shaders, dirty up the textures and put dents in the edges.

A really great demo of DX9 procedural textures I once saw was a fractal zoomer, where the fractal was rendered in real-time by the graphics card. With my Radeon 9600, there was no percievable lag and almost no CPU usage to be able to zoom & pan freely. Granted, there was a limit to the precision of the math so it did get blocky after a certain level, but up until that point, it was v.cool. If you have the hardware, check out what you can really do with it

Is anybody else here a little disturbed by the implication here that math is doing the directing, given that according to Godel, mathematics is by its very nature incomplete?

I'm by far no math guru, but the way I've understood it, Godel's proof showed that within an axiomatic system there are true statements that you cannot prove. That doesn't change the fact that they may be true.

http://www.sm.luth.se/~torkel/eget/godel.html looks like a nice place to review some Godel.

This is only the IE behavior itself. (27 kB)

Visit the containing directory to see a fix for IE's PNG rendering bug that also works on background PNG images.

This is a M.Sc paper that tries to explain how the open source development is working. It's an interesting read.

If you're saying that the performance of a GF4 can be equivalent to the performance of a TNT2 + fast CPU, then you my friend are on crack.

So, there is no reason for game designers to code to the least common denominator, they just have to code for the newest DirectX/OpenGL and the user's pc turns on available options for their card, and disables the others.

When you say "user's pc" I hope you mean "configuration item in application program". The app can make an intelligent guess at what features to turn on, but the user still may have to decide what to do to get acceptable performance.

There is some stuff that can be done in software on the CPU fast enough. But that's a pretty short list. If you don't believe me, turn on NVIDIA's emulation driver and try out a couple of the demos at Humus' site. If you don't have an NV30, you're SOL.

The dev still has to work his ass off to make sure that the app will run at 30fps on a GF2.

When new apis emerge that let you use the video card to do more stuff it is very difficult to learn that much more crap.

Agreed.

Nobody, sans Carmack, knows this stuff well enough that they can use the graphics card 100% of the time it is possible and better to do so.

The card that is supposed to be able to run Doom3 at full-blast is a GF3. A card that is about 2 years old. And careful with the JC word, you wouldn't want others to mistakenly persume you were an easily blinded fanboy. There are tons of knowledgable developers out there that don't have the same noteriaty. (I'm not saying that I'm one of them.)

However, I do urge game developers to try to use the GPU more than the CPU. It results in many advantages for the gamer.

You say that as if developers don't understand this concept or aren't even trying.

• Bright (download) is the best non-dithering quantiser in the whole world, and reasonably fast, too; based on dlquant
• pngrewrite sorts the palette
• pngcrush removes junk chunks, fixes Photoshop's gamma bug and tries many filters to find a smaller filesize
• OptiPNG is similar to pngcrush, but executes much faster
• pngout uses an alternative deflate, yields sometimes even smaller filesizes
• tweakpng manipulates chunks comfortably with a GUI
• pngquant quantises PNG24 with alpha transparency to PNG8 with transparent palettes, the result is alas mostly ugly

sleightplus demonstrates how to overcome IE's rendering bugs without polluting your markup or styles; no silly style inlining required, either. Use PNG images or backgrounds all the way they were intended.

Predecessors with only support for foreground images: Youngpup sleight, WebFX PNG behavior, mongus pngInfo, Bob Osola. PNGHack, a server side solution, is doomed to fail because of dysfunctional browser sniffing.

If that was useful for you, and you are a C hacker, I have a plea. Take the dlquant sourcecode (see above) and massage it so it works with PNG instead of the archaic PPM. I want a functional Bright clone for Linux that takes a true colour PNG and outputs a paletted PNG. Can you do that?

Sad that such a topic shows up on Slashdot without mentioning open source solutions which are cheap to free. Check out Digital Room Correction and BruteFIR for instance.

System Shock (the original) -- still one of the most cinematic games in history, IMHO.

Absolutely!

Check out this page for an ICQ and IRC software for mobile phones. It has so far only been tested on the Nokia 7650, though, but why not give it a go? Most up-to-date info is in this paper,
Mobile Instant Messaging. I have not tried it myself, but it sure looks pretty awesome.

She may not be the best, but she's darn good. And she has some cool nude self-portraits ;-).

Lulea University of Technology has had this for over a year (or is it two?) now..
BSc in Computer Graphics (CG), 180 ECTS and BSc in Gaming Studies (GS), 180 ECTS, both aimed at development of computer games...

In 1996 when I started collecting mp3 files I very quickly hit the 50Mb quota at our Unis computer society. I didn't want to erase files and since the CD-writer was booked for the next week I had to backup my mp3's to tape.. :) .. Thus I learned the true purpose of the tar command.. I later continued using the tapes for backup and storage since hardly anyone used them. I had to go from the terminal room to where the tape device was: in the serverroom which was deep down in the basement of the Uni.. :) .. Those were _those_ days..

Here are a few people I wish were in the movie.

They have not made it onto the ftp site yet.

Until then you can download a (non-official) copy from http://www.cdt.luth.se/~teilo/tmp/emacs-21.1-win.t ar.gz

Proving software correct shouldn't hold much weight. Testing is really the only way to go.

For instance, here is a pdf that mentions Naur "proving" a very simple ALGOL program correct, but obviously not testing the code. The program was only 25 lines long and reformatted text (basically a word wrapper). Later on there were (at least) 5 bugs found in the code.

Which goes to show that testing is what makes software robust.

Just tune in at Radio Data System(RDS) WWW interface website and enjoy...

Explanation on legality of this information:

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

Attention

www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace.

UPDATE: Here is a 2600 story with more details on how rhythm.cx was shut down.

I have taken it upon myself to mirror the mirrors. So until such time as the hounds of hell come a-knocking at my door, I present for you this list:
