On my last trip to Melbourne in November 2007 , I spoke to a small business operator (IT / networking / PC build & repair business). He told me the last 32 jobs he had done were all removing Vista and reinstalling XP. Vista may well be fine if you work in a large organisation with a dedicated IT...

Ummm - just out of curiosity ...is there any connection between Uplink Studios...( http://www.uplinkstudios.com ) and Uplink Studio?

Can't the poice trace the last registered owner off the engine or chassis number and trace the current owner that way?

I think you'll find that the child pornography charges came up because he either started (or threatened) to distribute the footage for money, status etc. There have been other cases of wild parties by teenagers in Australia in years gone past, but charges have never been laid. What makes this case s...

How disturbingly tragic (and chilling) that McNamara's lessons in The Fog Of War still remain unheeded.

Apparently Corey has now been charged with creating child pornography - as he filmed two minors going at it at his party ...oh dear what a pity! That's put paid to all those juicy (ie:stupid) business offers he was receiving. :lol: ...And I now have a new favourite website: http://slapcorey.com. My ...

Frost, bug on a leaf and berries are probably your best bets.

The berries is nicely exposed & nicely framed with a lovely use of a narrow depth of field.

The composition on the fronst image is lovely.

And the bug on a leaf has a nice emotive quality to it.

Best of luck.

...I think I smell a trend in the making here.

Is anyone aware of any other reasonably substantial attempts to rebuild / relaunch / revivie old gaming franchises? (D4 rumors aside)

Is this a trend? Is Gen X getting nostalgic perhaps?

Has the US initated a differing greenhouse reduction program / standard / initative that aims to accheive the same thing as Kyoto? (a genuine question - I don't know if they have or not) Personally I hope this is the case - because in the absense of such initatives, it does paint the US Government i...

Just how viable does everyone think it is to create a Descent-like game for a console? The controller seems to be the biggest issue for me. Personally I don't give a toss on what platform I play on - but if the majority of the market (and the future of gaming) lies on consoles, then any game develop...

I guess I'd feel better about the whole CD project eventually getting made if I saw evidence that Uplink have gotten at least ONE game off the ground ...those other non-6DoF games they mention on their web site. Is there any progress with those? What gives? I remember them saying that they were no l...

Doesn't the wii have a gamepad that is motion sensitive like the wiimote? If you mapped banking to the gamepad's motion-sensors, you could bank left/right by tilting the controller on a horozontal axis ...that would make it a bit less of an adjustment. (I do this kind of stuff instinctively whenever...

You should probably look at domestic fights before video games gekko. No arguement there Ferno, I quite agree - still, there are parents out there who aren't domestically violent who really don't give a s**t what their kids watch or play, which has the potential to be damaging. And I'm with you lob...

I'm of the \"If you don't like it, don't buy it\" school of thought - but there's a big caveat there. It's long been recognised that there is a direct link between exposure to violent behaviour and a rise in criminality in children (this research goes back to the 60's - it's a big part of ...

I think the Descent community are gagging for some way to keep interest in the game alive outside of the regular die-hards here. Many a topic on these boards have revolved around the idea - so far, very few of them have panned out. Core Decision was looking like bringing new blood in, but that game ...

Best of luck with it Rij - just remember, if you can't protect what you're doing: with a patent, a licence fee, non disclosure agreement, fixed term purchasing contracts etc, then you could find yourself with a whole bunch of competitors very quickly... and going broke even quicker.
