Yes, it's nice.. but check out Planet Potion too. It's the winning 64kb Amiga intro from this years Mekka Symposium. Excellent 3D engine, excellent textures, excellent synch and flow and excellent speech synthesis/vocoder effect:) All in less than 64kb on ancient hardware no less (yes I know it's ppc, but anyway).
I've played through Indy4 - Fate of Atlantis (whihch is supposed to be used as the story behind the new Indy movie), without much hassle. Monkey Island 2 also seems to work ok.
The national norwegian authorities for economic crime, that have indicted Jon Johansen, are genrally known to be clueless when it comes to technology. Their latest move in this regard was to reccomend outlawing anonymous email.
When it comes to Jon Johansen, he was initially quoted saying that he only made the gui for DeCSS and that the program itself was made by som german in his group. Only later did he claim to be the author of the entire program.
He was hired for his "skillz" by some startup norwegian dotcom, but was soon sacked.
Please read the article before you post! Even though they don't state this explicitly, the os will clearly be implemented as an Apache mod (modAPPLIANCEMULTIMEDIABROADBANDOS). Finally, the one thing Apache has been missing all along.
This is indeed a really sad day.
Does anybody know whatever happend to "Salmon of doubt"? I placed an order for it over two years ago, but it was cancelled just before it`s original date of release.
have really done well lately. Robert Llewellyn hosting Junkyard Wars and all. I last saw Lister hosting a show called Robot Wars.. I guess that job really was more appropriate for Kryten, but anyway.. what happend to the Red Dwarf movie?
Been ages since I heard something about that... growing impatient here.
For smp in QNX RtP check out http://staff.qnx.com/~cdm/smp/.
QNX Neutrino is the OS used for the QNX RtP (the "desktop" qnx). And QNX 4 is the os used for embedded applications (can probably be used as a desktop os aswell).
Check out http://www.scene.org/ (and ftp.scene.org) for some really impressive minimalism. It's called 4kb intro's. 4096 bytes of pure assembly code producing excellent graphical effects and impressive music and sfx. Check it out.
The technology is simply a virtual machine, much like the java virtual machine. However, where Sun messed up and didn't optimize for speed, the Taos vm is supposed to be really hot stuff.
It's interresting that the founders of Tao-Group are old Amiga game developers (read Optimized Assembler), and that they should know right from wrong in this department.
Also, rumours has it that Sun is wildly impressed by the Taos java vm. It's supposed to be the fastest in existance (faster by a large factor compared to the MS one).
The new Amiga OS is supposed to be the Tao Elate. This OS can be run hosted on for example Linux. However the announcements so far just states that the developer boxes will run the os hosted (just to speedup development).
We Amiga users have learned not to get our hopes up with every new announcement. And the fact that "they" are unable to deliver a new Amiga doesn't render my "old" Amiga useless.
When it comes to something that have a chance of success I'll have to agree with you that Linux might have a chance of survinving (due to massive hype lately), sad as it is. I kinda like Linux and have used it for years, but it isn't exactly state of the art (monolithic kernel and all) and it's not something I'd really like to see the computing future built on.
The best thing would be to start of with a nice, clean etc. kernel like QNX or something. Too bad it won't happen.
Actually I think norwegian lawyers are looking into the matter right now. That's what the major norwegian newspapers said when the program was released anyway.
That's right. But I don't really think there will ever be more than 400 DVD drive manufacturers. (It's not like there was 400 manufacturers who signed up from start, and those are the only ones who've got keys. They're assigned keys when they sign up for a license.)
The point here is that they got one of the 400 keys from the Xing player, used that to decrypt the data and then knew stuff like how the header of a dvd movie looks like. After that it's brute force.

You can download an evaluation version.
As for preserving the image, I've found at least the RDJ-album face in all mp3 versions of this song, so that shouldn't be difficult.
if you didn't understand that the 'get fit before summer' scheme was a scam before now, no need to bitch us about it.

For the no-Amiga crowd, there's a divx here.

The recent launch of QNX RtP is certainly a change in that attitude.
For smp in QNX RtP check out http://staff.qnx.com/~cdm/smp/. QNX Neutrino is the OS used for the QNX RtP (the "desktop" qnx). And QNX 4 is the os used for embedded applications (can probably be used as a desktop os aswell).
Check out http://www.qnxstart.com for lots more qnx stuff and downloads.
Actually, you don't have to manually swap, but you do need to manually turn on swap for each application.
The mediaplayer included with QNX RtP is supposed to incorporate the Xing DVD player. Guess you don't need livid then.
mp3 itself isn't proprietary.. several encoders are though.

Demoscene rules
QNX Neutrino isn't commandline. It's a fully fledged "media OS" with excellent networking capabilities (or so I'm told).
Granted, BeOS is nice, but it still lacks a lot of important features (like multiuser) which is needed in a modern os (desktop or not).

This is the Amiga Boing ball from one of the first demos of the Amiga. It featured this red/white ball bouncing across the screen going "boing".

Why don't you check it out for yourself?
The Amiga Research OS (AROS) are making an Amiga OS "clone" running on standard pc hw. It's even possible to run it under Linux.
Aros is for Amiga kinda what Wine is for Windows. You can even play AmigaQuake under Aros under Linux. Great stuff.
Foreign citizens have no vote in the US, and thus no power.
Since the US pretty much owns the world this leaves us foreigners right up the creek.
Reinstate democracy, abolish USA.

One of the really classic games. Getting all mushy and nostalgic here. And yeah, that holocube thing looks nice.
