Gamasutra: Technology Inspires Creativity: Indie Game Jam Inverts Dogma 2001
Developing games today is very time consuming and costly. Furthermore,
developers tend to first concentrate on familiarizing with new hardware
to technically make the best use of it. Both go at the expense of new
game ideas. In above article Ernest Adams describes the "Indie Game Jam"
as antipole to currently adopted game development practice.

CCC: EU-parliament said yes to data retention
Despite of many protests the EU-parliament has agreed to loosen the data protection in the EU.
»The passed order "about the processing of personal data and the protection of the private sphere in the electronic communication" enables the memebership states to loosen the regulation of protection for data of connections to "carry out penal persecution and to save the national and public safety. Thus the way is free for the so called data retention.
Data retention means that the data of connections of the participant of the telecommunication are not only individually saved and kept after an official order but for all participants in advance and without a starting suspicion. Because of that the authorities can use also data which are far away in the past. Up to now the data of connections had to be deleted after 80 days after making the calculation.
Data protectors and people of the human rights warn before such a general data saving because thereby they say the fundamental rights for private sphere and freedom of opinion are endangered. Besides this such actions mean a turn away from the assumption of innocence because the data retention above all disadvantage the innocent poeple. Even the committee of the civil rights of the EU voted against it. The 16206 signers of a summons to the parliament refer to it.«

Amiga Arena: Interview with Felix Schwarz (IOSPIRIT)
After we have not heard much of the software publisher "Innovative" we
were surprised that on April the chief developer Felix Schwarz has come
back with his newly founded company "IOSPIRIT" and new software-products!
Should this be a first sign of a change at the weakened Amiga market?
In this interview Amiga Arena talks with Felix Schwarz about his reasons
to go on developing for the Amiga market, about his new software products
as well as further new developments.
Felix Schwarz explains how he has found a solution for himself to
simultaneously support AmigaOS, MorphOS and emulators and how he is
able to do something against not permitted copying.
I completely agree with Felix Schwarz when he says: "Negative signs, negative effect - postive thinking and good products, positive feedback. Let's tackle!"
Finally it is in the hands of the users if they want to set a sign by buying Amiga products and thus make further developments possible.

AmigaOS XL: Experiences with the H&P Big-Tower 1800+ (Update)
Dietmar Knoll writes:
In my report, I describe the experiences I have made with the Big-Tower.
Version 1.18 of the report finally contains the promised chapters, in which I more closely describe "AmigaXL" and "QNX". Furthermore, I included some links to the "Software" chapter and added the latest "Patches for Amithlon".
Note: The last update was released one month ago. Since the webserver of Compuserve is frozen since the beginning of May, I uploaded this update to Fortunecity, although this server is a bit problematic. In QNX-Voyager popups are generated, in Amiga-Voyager only ads are displayed instead of the images. Therefore, I recommend to use AWeb or Amiga-Voyager (with background images switched off).

He writes: "Dear sufferers of the SoundBlaster and FastEthernet lockup problem.
If you have been using ResetInt for the last couple of days to clear these problems,
then you may be getting fed up of having to run that program every time that error
happens. I have now written a version, called PatchInt, which you can put in the
user-startup. You need to run it with the line: "run <nil: >nil: PatchInt".
You can find information on PatchInt and all other Mediator programs on the
3rd Party Mediator Software Page.
If you see a program missing email the information here:

IOSPIRIT: Calibration targets for fxSCAN 4.0 and ICS
Scan like the props! You can now order professional calibration targets at a very low and attractive price that give you best scanning results when used together with ICS and fxSCAN 4.0.
And its easy to use, too! Just scan the target with your scanner and let ICS create a profile out of the result. From now on, you can automatically reach best and optimized results by selecting the ICS-filter in fxSCAN! The results are very close to the original template and mostly can't even be distinguished from it!
- Meets the IT 8.7/2 and ISO 12641 standard requirements.
- High color volume.
- Printed on high-quality Kodak(R) Professional paper.
- Meets the error tolerances required by the standard. Addmissible tolerance is 5 dE for reference files and 2 dE from CIE Lab for single measured targets. This target reaches an average of 0,3 dE in production!!
- additional reference files for scanners with light picture background. The standard only requires reference files for black background.
- also recommended for owners of older targets that may contain color errors after years!
