  2. Scala on Building an Unattended Computer Presentation? · · Score: 1

    Take a look at Scala, it's exactly what you need. If you can get your hands on an older version, you won't need anything more than a Pentium or Pentium 2.

  4. Error: GameOn is already in use on GameOn New York Consumer Show To Debut In November · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wouldn't it be a good idea to check if the name GameOn is already in use?

    GameOn is a touring game exhibition in Europe. I visited it at the Barbican in London and at the National Museum of Scotland, and it's really great. AFAIK it get updated once in a while with the newest games (there were a couple of additions at the Scotland exhibition).

  6. Re:Yeah, because this is an excellent idea on Video-Game Publishers Outsource Development · · Score: 1

    A quote from the developer website:

    The highest technical caliber of Stellar Stone developers coupled with low offshore Russia-based engineering costs gives us sustainable competitive edge to employ more and higher quality engineers than a typical US company can afford, staff up projects faster, put more developers on a project for a better gameplay value and graphics visuals. For our customers that transfers into richier product feature set at the same price point.

    Look at the size of that thing!

    Check here for a picture of the Zaurus in use (big thanks to Tom for letting me use his Zaurus while on vacation in Japan). I'm not sure which model it is.

    (Notice the Air-H CF card on the side of the Zaurus, I was SSH'ing to my machine in Norway.

  15. Re:This book is under an Open Source license on C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 · · Score: 1

    I guess i should answer my own question here. The CD comes with non-commercial windows versions for Borland 5.5, Borland 6 and MSVC (6 and 7).

  16. Re:This book is under an Open Source license on C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 · · Score: 1

    The book is on its way from Amazon right now, but I just have to ask. Do I have to use Borland C++ to use the Qt/Win-library or will it work on other windows compilers?

    (The main reason I bought this book is because of the free Qt 3 for Windows. I already have Qt3 Enterprise installed (I'm using it at work) but the license probably doesn't cover my own programs I write at home (I won't distribute them without a proper license))

  17. What about Europe? on Namco's Taiko Drumming Games To Debut In West · · Score: 1

    Will Taiko No Tatsujin ever be released in Europe, or do I have to go on with my plans to chip my PS2 and get the game from Japan?

  20. Re:Eww. Looks worse than an iMac on Sun's new UltraSPARC workstation: the Blade 1500 · · Score: 1

    Well, at least they don't light up the entire room as the Blade 1000/2000's do.

    Anyway, we've recently bought a bunch of these 1500's at work, so I may be able to do some benchmarking on them. I've got an old 1000 myself and it works just fine. (It's amazing how you don't need to upgrade every 6 months when you don't run games. I even got a 2,5 year old PC (a dual p4 xeon), and it works just fine for what I do (software development)).

    Betamax was the better format. Yet VHS won; it set the standard.
