Update) In a thorough article Foundation Stock Review summarizes what has changed since the 1st of January this year. Starting with altered highway signs, progressing to the changeover from 0190 to 0900 telephone area codes, and including all the important and interesting changes. Update of 2nd January, 2003: In the same vein as the new 0900 phone service numbers is the following interesting Golem article: Telecommunications: New Charges for 2003. Here is an excerpt: 0900 numbers change to the prefix of 0190 after January, 2003. After the regulatory officials partially approved the new telecommunications charges, they come into effect on the 1st of February, 2003. Along with that come reductions in urban and German charges, and increases in the monthly base fee for analog T-Net connections. Immediately after January the phone service will raise the setup charge for T-DSL. (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 02.

The entrance fee for one day for non-members is 20 euros, for a multiday pass it's 40 euros. There are discounts offered if a valid student ID is presented and children under the age of 12 enter costlessly, when accompanied by an adult. The Chaos Communication Congress is a three day event about Technology, Society, and Utopia. The Congress offers performances and workshops on a variety of topics having to do with Information Technology, computer security, Internet, Cryptography, and the critical creative intersection with technology, as well as the effects of technological development on society. The Chaos Communication Congress is the yearly specialty congress of the Chaos Computer Club e.V. (CCC). The congress takes place this year for the 19th time and has its origins in the "European Hacker Party" of 1984. The congress is not only for techno freaks, but also for anyone interested in the utilizations and effects. Near the conference program there are other elements of the congress such as the Art&Beauty project, the Labor, the Chaos Archive, the Hack Center and the 6th German championship in lock picking.

It's really a player built on mpega. Further, I would like to state that this player and a few other programs originated only with this Amiga editor, because the scripting language of Hollywood is very simple. Attention: the archive includes only executables (no script data). Because of this you can't examine the program code. In order to modify the program code, you'll need the complete Hollywood pack. Additionally the three most important libraries are in the archive, and these are needed to run the executables. Because the player currently only supports Amithlon's Soundblaster 128, you won't hear any music on a normal Amiga (so this should be seen as only a demo of what is possible with Hollywood).

This PPC version is of course much faster than the 68k one, so many effects can now be displayed in real time at an acceptable speed (on 68k computers most of the CPU intensive effects were precalculated and displayed then to make them appear smoothly).

AmithlonTV is a really, genuinely modularly built driver system for PCI TV cards. Only the necessary components and resources are loaded. New cards unknown to AmithlonTV will be automatically detected and may be configured by the user. In order to do this the components of the card are detected in a setup program. The advantage of such a system is that a new driver for any specific component will function on any TV card that has the component. Special modifications by me are generally unnecessary. We won't be involving ourselves with a bunch of supported cards that haven't been tested. AmithlonTV will run on practically any card. When certain components haven't been added they just haven't been added, but the rest of the card works. A further advantage of AmithlonTV is that multiple cards are supported. Two, three, or more are possible. This is easily managed and may be used in a security system. It is all the same if one wants a picture from each, or a channel list to switch between cards. The entire system is built so modularly that USB and Firewire may be possible. At this time there is support for the powerpci.library (Amithlon). The openpci.library support is currently implemented and functioning but is not yet officially available. What's new: As is already known through other channels, Amithlon TV has a VHI_Studio driver. Your computer will become a multimedia center, especially with the new accelerated functions of VHI Studio version 6.0. The channel seeker has also been greatly accelerated. In contrast to other options (such as Windows software) there is a real channel seeker here that doesn't just check for channels, but also VCRs and satellite receivers that are found between channels. There are other small improvements in the works. Especially noteworthy are the new audio drivers. All MSP cards should work with these. The new Hauppauge drivers achieve an automatic configuration, whereby the copying of special configuration data occurs. You'll find a lot more information by clicking on the title link!
