RP-Online RP-Online: Philips don't want to tolerate problems with copyprotected music CDs
»Some copy protected music CDs don't work with several CD or DVD players. If a note about that is missing at the cover this is a fault. Customers might bring in that case the CD back to the dealer and demand their money back.
The Philips company, the inventor of the CD technique and licenser for "Compact Discs", doesn't want to tolerate this fault anymore. Philips manager Gijs Wirtz said to "Computerbild": "CDs, which engender problems by replaying them do not fulfill the rule for a Compact Disc. A real CD should work with every device. Even with CD ROM drives, DVD and car CD players."«

Lars 'Ghandy' Sobiraj (ANF) Event: Website for THE PARTY updated
The website of one of the oldest scene parties at all, THE PARTY, was put online with an new design today. The Party is held, like every year, from December the 27th to December the 29th in central Denmark at the congress center in Aars. Unfortunately there is only little left from that scene spirit of the first years. The Party became more a meeting point for gamers and those, who only want to fill up their hard drives via network. Those who are atracted by the prizes (at least EUR 1000 for the 1st prize at the mixed double demo competition) and the professional organisation should have a view to the new homepage.

Chaos Computer Club e.V. Meeting: With the Hack Train to the 19th Chaos Communication Congress

Chaos Computer Club meets annually between Christmas and New Year's at the Chaos Communication Congress. The 19th CCC (19C3) occurs from 27th to 29th December, 2002 in Berlin, Germany at the House at Köllnischen Park. The Hack Train to Congress starts the morning of 26th December, 2002 in Mainz, comes up along the Rhein, through the Ruhr, and reaches Berlin. The return trip is on the 30th. The whole thing is only going to happen however, when 200 people sign up (85 euros round trip). On that account, everyone who wants to come is asked to sign up (non-binding) at http://zug.verbrennung.org. The deadline is the first week in November!

The train from the RHEB comes through Mainz - Köln - Düsseldorf - Bochum - Bielefeld - Hannover - Berlin, and will consist of two cars with about 100 seats. Further stops along the way are no problem, just say so in advance.

The Chaos Communication Congress is a three day congress about technology, society and Utopia. The congress offers lectures and workshops on a range of topics concerning Information Technology, computer security, Internet, Cryptography, and the critically creative handling with technology, and discourse over the effects of technological development on society.

A.D.A. ADA: Update of the 20th of October, 2002

ADA, the Amiga Demo Archive searchable databank has placed online the following new demos:

After Guardian Dragon in the previous update, yet another release of The Forces of the Pyramids, Kefrens (the 4th Kefrens production on A.D.A.). This time a cool slideshow called Masterpieces from R.W.O. Nice presentation, good tune by Laxity and some cool pictures... Released somewhere in 1992 I think...

Another new group appears on A.D.A., Limited Edition (LED) with a demo called Mind Abuse. Released at Assembly 1996 where the demo ended on 5th place. Hardcore tune, fast effects and lots of colors ...

A very famous demo from French group Complex, Origin was released at The Party 1993 and won. A very cool intro, classic tunes by Clawz and nice visuals make this a very cool production all around. Check it out.

Event: Pictures of visit to "BeGeistert" in Düsseldorf
Here is a selection of the pictures that have been taken today by Petra Struck on the BeOS event BeGeistert. Mainly, of course, pictures of the Pegasos/MorphOS and Walker presentations, which btw may be repeated on Sunday morning if required. An extensive report will follow.

Ulrich 'Scholly' Scholz (left) "guards" the entrance ...	... and collects the entrance fee of 10 Euro per visitor.
Most people are currently attending a BeOS demonstration ...	... thus the room looks nearly deserted.
While waiting for Nicholas, I have already shot a picture of the MorphOS surface. The windows' design is variable and, thanks to MUI, customisable.	Gert is having BeOS explained to him at length :-)
T-Shirts of all sizes and all BeGeistert event vintages are waiting for buyers, three of the old vintages can be bought for 25 Euro, the current "BeGeistert 2002" is 13 Euro.	Bertrand Presles and Sébastien Lokhamkhouak of Thendic France
Here a glimpse of the Pegasos' inside	The complete system
Nicholas Blachford of Thendic France	(This picture in 1280 x 960) A further look at the Pegasos' inside
The Walker! Nicholas has given it a try, and partly even managed to make it work!	The Walker's backside really strongly resembles a vacuum cleaner, the connectors however reveal that there is a complete computer with all the bits and pieces hiding inside.
Here two - to my knowledge never before published - drawings ...	... of Walker prototypes in a tower (well, rather a giant tower). The original pictures will be submitted to us later.
I have seldomly visited events where the empty pizza boxes were so neatly stacked for disposal!	Here now a couple of pictures from the BeOSers' room ...
Discussions here, object lesson there ...	... naturally, the pizza order is also important!
Gert is looking forward to dinner at a Chinese restaurant ...	... and I, too, am in the best of moods, for I have seen much and, obviously, I am totally delighted. Till next time with "Petra on Tour" ;-)

Thomas Nosutta (ANF) Mailprogram: YAM beta version 2.4 (developer version from 18.10.2002)
There is a new developer version 2.4 of the mailprogram YAM which in the meantime has become Open Source. This is a version which is still in progress and which therefore possibly contains bugs. The developer team offers no support and gives no guarantee! Any requests done by email will also not be answered. You use it on your own risk!

The changes which were made you can read in this list. You can get further information on the Yamos SourgeForge-site.

Thomas Schulze (FAJ) Music/Sound Expert Sought for Crossfire II

Dreamworlds Development is looking urgently for a music/sound expert who can also add music to animations, in order to prepare Crossfire II. The animations are in MPEG format or if needed in single pictures on a CD. The result of adding the sound should therefore be a timed sample in a common format

There is not going to be much monetary reward involved (because of the overall market situation). The best case scenario would be approximately 100 Euros when the project is published. You can get further details by expressing your interest in an email.

Soms3D Seeks New Partners

Soms has been on ice for a long time because there was a lot of programming to do. This made us really think about things. We decided not to make a 2D adventure, but rather a realtime 3D online role playing game.

To do this we already have a 3D programmer and our first internal beta version. The capabilities of Soms3D will be made public at a later date (assuming our new webpage is online). The adventurers will reach, more or less, a common solution. And naturally all that one may do online must also be doable in an online game.

To reach our goals we still need a bit of help. We are looking for:

A musician who can deliver his music in MOD or MIDI form.
A programmer who knows his way around Online-Programming.
Because Soms3D is based on PPC it would be better when partners have a PPC, especially when programming.
Applications or Inquiries go to Sylvio K..

Armada is a round-based game for two to five players. It is a version of a game formerly played with paper and colored pencils. To start off each player places his sea port on the map. As the game progresses players select their ships and attack opposing ships. It depends on the distance and a roll of the dice if the opposing ships are sunk.

Armada-Homepage is here, and here is the Aminet download link: Armada.lha. The author would like to hear some feedback about the game and its homepage.

Linux/APUS: Kernel V2.4.18 with CyberstormPPC UW-SCSI support
The Linux/APUS kernel is available in version 2.4.18-2 with CyberstormPPC UW-SCSI support. The following changes have been made, compared to the previous version:

Change: The CyberstormPPC UW-SCSI driver should now work. Please mind that it still has more of an experimental character - You have been warned.
Change: Deactivated PCI, as this apparently does more bad than good at the moment.

We thank the participating companies Vesalia, bplan and MorphOS who made it possible for us to show the Pegasos. On the one hand we didn't want to put the beta testers at a disadvantage but on the other hand we wanted to show the computer to the publicity and we believe that we succeeded. Because of an article in Bremen's biggest newspaper on Sunday we had 5432 visitors on both days. Via the U.d.N. came interested users who wanted to see the Pegasos. more ... (ps) (Translation: wk)

Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail) Amiga Arena: Interview with Chris Hodges (Poseidon USB)
Many users considered the name "Chris Hodges" a concept since the mid-nineteen nineties, since Chris (in addition to writing demos and tools) also authored PD games like "Tubes."

Most recently with the introduction of the USB cards "Subway" and "Highway" developed by Michael Böhmer, most users will again consider this concept, because Chris has authored "Poseidon USB," making it possible for Amiga users to use standard USB hardware.

In the interview with Amiga Arena he discusses how this development came about, the concept behind "Poseidon USB," and what more great stuff users may expect in the future.

You'll reach the interview here in German and English. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Cyborg (ANF) BenderIRC: DCCCHAT Now With PGP

Cyborg writes in: Well, it took a while but BenderIRC is finally making progress again. The program components that were lost in the hard-drive crash have been fully restored, and it is now possible to add a PGP-encoded communication over the Internet with BenderIRC's DCCCHAT.

At this time it's unfortunately still not possible to comfortably go from BenderIRC to the PGP-DCCCHAT, because a specialized CTCP command must be defined. Whoever would like to take part in this effort can let us know via email. Attention must be drawn to the fact that PGP2 and PGP5 are both supported but must be separated.

For some time now a help system has been on the BenderIRC website. It is for the purpose of simplifying the reporting of bugs, so that more people will send us bug reports. The future plans are to eliminate some of the smaller bugs and then add the long-awaited configuration/installation tool.

Today the official website for the German Amiga exhibition of this year is on-line. Jens Schönfeld of Individual Computer organizes this fair, which will take place on 7th and 8th December 2002 in the Eurogress Aachen. Thus Schönfeld breaks the good old tradition to let the exhibition take place in Cologne but Aachen is a city worth seeing, and the proximity to the Benelux countries is reliably a large advantage. Refrained from it the organizer gets ready to break with another tradition since he would like to turn around the trend of the last years after, and attract more visitor than before.

The current website is only a preversion of the final one. It will be filled up with contnent bit by bit. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Amiga Society Amiga Society: Schlachtfeld page updated and Status
From the Amiga Society site:
"The Schlachtfeld page has received a new design. The contents is not that far yet, but the first graphics for a second level can already be seen.

Over the next weeks, some submenus etc. will be added to the page and some more information will be provided.

Possibly the page will also get its own domain soon.

We still hope to have at least a beta of Phase I (with the old graphics) until the show in December.

According to current estimation of the situation, Phase I will probably not get over the beta stage.

The graphics of Phase II have advanced that much already that a parallel development of code and graphics is beginning to make sense." (sd) (Translation: cb)
