1.1 was pretty darn slow sure, but performance has continued to increase to a point where 1.4 is pretty snappy And just how much faster has the average CPU got in that timeframe? I'd have thought that would have been a fairly large contributory factor...
"Fightbox" is being pitched as a replacement for "Robot Wars" (which the BBC just lost to a commercial rival).
If the comments I've read so far are accurate, I don't think it'll last very long (but then I'm hardly in the target age group, so I may be very wrong...)
She (Sarah Flannery) made a claim, and during a review process someone found a flaw in the underlying theory (Cayley-Purser) as used by her work, and so the whole thing collapsed as it was essentially useless as a high-grade encryption engine. Details can be found in the (amended) paper here.
As for documentation, I'd say the link above covers it. Also, she wrote a book about the whole thing, including the problems found.

Unfortunately, as has been stated many times here in the past, all that will happen is that Microsoft will state "look at all the X-Boxes we've sold". Anybody wanting to write stuff for it will have some sort of license from Microsoft, so the licensing discussion can be summarised as:
Bigger sales => bigger potential market for game => bigger license fee
So guess who really loses out in the end... not Microsoft I'll wager...
I've been using PFE for that long, I almost can't remember ever not using it.
Other editors have come and gone, yet PFE remains, trusty as ever - only Ultraedit has come close, and that was only because it was a freebie on a magazine CD.
I do sometimes wish that the macro handling could do more, and I believe there was to be some development in that area (before it stopped completely), but for reasonably simple repetitive tasks it was ideal.
One thought - has anyone tried getting Alan Phillips to release the code, given that he presumably no longer has the time to carry on?

What about the rest of the planet?
I'm at work, so can't install anything useful
Got curious...
Had a look at fark.com...
Saw way too many ads (all flashing, hence even more annoying)...

Well that's my daughters' games accounted for - what about the rest?

Very curious...
If Windows accounts for 90%, how does (Windows + Linux) account for less than 1% ?

It was supposed to be here back in February as I recall, but no show...
Anyone any clue as to when it will finally arrive, so I can placate my 7-yr-old?
Rest of the World: we don't care what you think

A movie can take several years to be produced
Look at the Bible. Took getting on for two millennia before they made the film.
By movie I presume you mean the TV series?

Earth gets fatter at the equator, hence more localised mass as opposed to that at the poles, hence more gravity at the equator...
