Gravity Force 2 is still the best group game I have ever played, in terms of enjoyment and laughs, closely followed by Worms Director's Cut (also Amiga) and Mario Kart Double Dash.

Well, you need to work out how to convert "we're doing something right" into actually being popular and making buckets of money. There are countless companies that folded even though they were "doing something right&quot

Out of interest, how many people here have been in a startup company where it has been really hard to gain new customers, but once they realise what you are doing for them they love you forever? This was my position ten years ago. The com

Article seems a little content-free to me. Could someone in the know explain what exactly has been decided?

The article says that the Mac OS was the only OS to ship that ran on PowerPC CPUs. This is not true - later versions of the Amiga OS ran on PowerPC.

The Amiga 1000 first came out with 256KB of RAM. It didn't have much space left after the OS had booted up though. It was the Amiga 500 that came out a little later that had 512KB.

Yes, the Amiga had proper honest multitasking. A normal boot of an Amiga system would typically result in over twenty processes running in the background. In fact, its particular style of multitasking (static absolute priorities) was well-s

Just don't install a java plugin for the browser. Simple.

You mean connect to a VNC/RDP server, and be an X11 server? (Although where you'd get the mouse and keyboard input from, I'm not sure.)

Why are there so many reinventions of VNC?

Indeed. For two-way detection, the two ecliptics must be in the same plane. Or more accurately, the two ecliptics must be close enough to a common plane, where the common plane passes through both planets and "close enough" means

That's what that means. The Earth has to be on the plane on which their ecliptic sits. However, yes, our ecliptic needn't align with theirs.

This makes me wonder if these new hard drives will have a limited shelf life. I know they have spent so much research on keeping the He in, but it's more likely that they have just slowed down the leaking, so will this hard drive still

Unless of course they sell the infringing goods in a jurisdiction that does respect copyright. At that point, the jurisdiction can prevent further sales from that manufacturer.

One fairly major reason is the economics of the nuclear fuel producers (who also tend to be the people building the power plants). Simply put, enriched uranium fuel pellets require huge resources to produce, and are ! &^" expens

Another advantage with a liquid fuel is that you can do a continuous reprocessing cycle (pump the fuel through a chemical plant) to remove nasties from the system. With solid fuel pellets all you can do is hope that the pellet doesn't

Yes, the reactor shut down correctly. However, in a working uranium reactor, there will be large quantities of fission products that are also radioactive and are therefore spontaneously decaying in a long chain towards stable isotopes. Some

Yes, but the expected time of survival of a newly-installed WinXP machine was extraordinarily short eight or so years ago - not really long enough to enable one to connect to Windows Update and get the thing protected.

My pgp public key is a matter of public record. "Email isn't secure" isn't really an excuse in this day and age.
