I've downloaded the 32-bit, DVD version of openSUSE 11.2 4 times recently. First I tried the normal site twice, then a mirror, and finally bit torrent. Each time the MD5 checksum doesn't match. It looks like it's the same wrong checksum every time. So, in other words, I'm getting the same files, but the checksum on the file doesn't match the one listed on the site.
Any advice? I'm getting tired of bogging down my internet connection for 5 hours.
BTW, the 64-bit version that I downloaded when 11.2 first came out matches.

Blue Sky squeezes GPS onto a SIM
Just as we were predicting the end of SIM technological development, along comes a technology which really could be a killer application - a complete GPS system embedded inside one. At the SIMposium in Berlin, Blue Sky Positioning announced it has developed a complete GPS system, including the antenna, which physically fits in …
I wonder how long it took them to work this out....
".....but when we take away the battery, take the SIM out of the phone, the signal is no longer there."
I hate to piss on their picnic, but they seem to have invented yet another mobile device that (cue "ta-da" sound) stops working when you remove the battery.
I'd like to see the testing methods that they used to narrow the cause of this behaviour down to their secret antenna technology.
Phone chassis as ariel
".....but when we take away the battery, take the SIM out of the phone, the signal is no longer there."
What I think he's trying to say is the SIM is inductively coupled to the phone's metal chassis (via an air-gap), and thus is using the chassis as an ariel. If the SIM is connected to the phone with a bit of ribbon cable, or a case-less dev-board phone is used, then the SIM won't work correctly, as it hasn't metal plate near it to use as an ariel.
You don't think that maybe they use the phone body (if metal) or just a ground as the antenna?
Ariel is a washing powder (women know such things).
An aerial is an English antenna (the Americans changed the word because they couldn't spell it either).
No metal chassis
The last mobile phone with a metal chassis was dropped from high altitude to destroy a gun emplacement during the second Gulf war.
Modern phones simply do not usually have a metal chassis, the absence of which contributes to their light weight.
If you remove the battery from your phone you will typically discover that it has four electrical connectors, not the two that one would expect. The extra two are used for battery management.
From this we can conclude that mobile phone batteries contain WIRES, which if one is terribly smart and does not upset the circuitry, can be used as an antenna. This is similar to the technique for using headphone connecting leads as an aerial in small radios.
Risto Savolainen is doubtless biting his tongue, at least gently.
That's my guess.
Not "dur" but "ha-ha" actually
Personally I thought that my original comment was so obviously a gag that I didn't need to grace it with anything as unsubtle as a smiley.
It's like trying to raise a laugh in a Trappist Monastery round here these days........
Don't think they had washing powder in Shakespeare's day (qf The Tempest)

In a move that seems almost too petty to believe, it has now been confirmed that the official WWE account on Twitter is no longer following CM Punk after he walked out before Monday Night Raw this week. The decision could have been made by someone in the marketing or technology department as opposed to Vince McMahon or Triple H.
WWE has been pushing the wrestlers to use Twitter more often, especially on weekends, in order to get the fans talking more about the performers and company. The belief is that management has noticed how much of a buzz Ryback has been able to create through the social media website.
During a recent interview, Stephanie McMahon touted the WWE app by revealing that it has been downloaded more than eight million times.
While the backstage heat on Aksana has subsided over the last few months, some of it has returned this week, as a few people are blaming her for the eye injury that Naomi Knight suffered on Monday Night Raw this week, even though it was an accident.

Tornado Country
More tornadoes rip across the United States than any other country. Which states do they affect the most?
Each spring, huge cone-shaped clouds of swirling air sweep through towns and cities in the United States. Like vacuums, they suck up everything in their paths, tearing through homes and tossing cars. They're tornadoes—and they can happen anywhere at anytime.
Scientists are learning more about these deadly storms. A recent study shows where twisters pose the biggest threat to people in the U.S.
For decades, the area stretching from Texas to South Dakota has been nicknamed Tornado Alley. More twisters strike there than any other place in the world. But it's actually not where tornadoes can cause the most trouble.
Meteorologist Grady Dixon and his team have studied data on more than 50,000 tornadoes that have touched down in the U.S. since 1950.
"We looked at the entire path of all tornadoes to find out how often they pass through different areas," Dixon told Scholastic News.
He found that people living in states to the east of Tornado Alley are at greater risk of experiencing a twister. Why? Most tornadoes that form there are faster and last longer than tornadoes in Tornado Alley. That means they pass through more places where people live. Dixon's research helped identify what's being called the "New Tornado Alley."
Meteorologists are using this new information to raise awareness about twisters in states outside the better-known Tornado Alley. They want more people to know the signs of a twister and what to do if one is heading their way.
But predicting exactly when and where twisters will form is still difficult. Right now, most people have less than 15 minutes to prepare for one.
One thing that has helped alert people to tornadoes is new technology like smart phones. "If someone sees a tornado coming, he can take a video on his phone, post it, and 10,000 people know about it within minutes," says Dixon.
This article appeared in the May 6, 2013 issue of Scholastic News Edition 3. For more from Scholastic News, click here.

Book Giveaway For Hangtown (Janelle Watkins, Private Investigator, #2)
To celebrate its launch, we have 10 copies of Hangtown, the second Janelle Watkins mystery, by Karen Sandler to give away!
Marooned in her despised hometown of Greenville CA, private investigator Janelle Watkins wants nothing more than to keep her head down and make enough money to move back to the City. But even in the sleepy town of Greenville, the edgy, smart-mouthed private investigator seems to attract mayhem.
It starts with the apparent suicide of a nineteen-year-old off a highway bridge. Then another young man goes missing and Janelle begins to suspect that there might be a connection between the incidents.
With the help of her former SFPD partner and occasional lover, Sheriff Ken Heinz, Janelle begins to follow the convoluted trail, not realizing that the darkness of her past might finally be catching up.

Coverage of Virginia politics and the 2014 election.
Virginia leaders' statements on CT school shooting
Virginia's elected officials — including Sen.-elect Tim Kaine, who was governor at the time of the Virginia Tech mass shooting — are issuing statements today on the shootings at a Connecticut elementary school.
"Words fail to express the profound sadness I feel for the families of those who were lost and those who will carry the scars of this tragedy. Our Commonwealth knows too well the pain of senseless gun violence. Like all Virginians, Anne and I offer our thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences to the community of Newtown."
Gov. Bob McDonnell:
"It is with a heavy heart and the deepest of sympathies that I learned earlier today of the horrific shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those impacted by the events transpiring today, and to the teachers, emergency responders, and all others touched by this tragedy. Unfortunately, Virginia has our own painful memories of the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007. Those memories will never fade, and we continue to grieve for all those lost on that April day. We are all too aware of the impact that events like this can have on a community. If there is anything Virginia can do to assist Governor Malloy and the citizens of Connecticut, we stand ready to do so."
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe and wife Dorothy:
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families of those caught in the horrible tragedy in Newtown. As parents of five children we can't imagine the pain and heartache of losing a child, especially to a terrible act of violence like this one. We solemnly join our fellow Virginians and all Americans in mourning for the entire Newtown community."

Will Bears open the season with two rookie linemen? It's been done before
BY MARK POTASH Staff Reporter August 18, 2013 6:19PM

Starting two rookies on the same side of an offensive line is so fraught with risk, even bad NFL teams rarely do it — and hardly ever by design.
Yet, after an impressive performance by guard Kyle Long and tackle Jordan Mills against the San Diego Chargers last week, the Bears are on target to start both on the right side in the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 8.
Is that even possible? Can a team contend for the playoffs with an all-rookie tackle/guard combination? Long looks like the real thing, but he still started just four games at Oregon last season. Mills is a fifth-round draft pick from Louisiana Tech.
It doesn't happen often. The last team to play first-year rookies on the same side from Day 1 was an expansion team, the 1995 Carolina Panthers, with first-round pick Blake Brockermeyer at left tackle and mid-round draft picks Andrew Peterson and Frank Garcia at left guard.
The last playoff contender to do it was the 1990 Miami Dolphins, with first-round pick Richmond Webb at left tackle next to second-round pick Keith Sims at guard. But even then, the risk was minimized. Webb was the ninth overall pick in the draft. Sims was 39th. And Dan Marino's quick release made both of them better pass blockers. Marino was sacked only 15 times that season as the Dolphins went 12-4 and lost their playoff opener.
If Long and Mills end up starting together, the Bears will be using a similar tack: relying on the rookies' stronger run-blocking ability and hoping Jay Cutler can get rid of the ball quickly with three-step drops in coach Marc Trestman's offense.
Trestman and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer have not committed to starting Long and Mills in the opener. But neither is fazed by the possibility. In Trestman's first season in Montreal in 2008, he turned to two inexperienced tackles as his starters in place of proven veterans and the offense flourished. The Alouettes' offensive line, which had allowed a league-high 68 sacks the previous year, allowed a league-low 22 in 2008.
When Kromer was an assistant line coach in Tampa Bay in 2006, the Buccaneers played the final 12 games with two rookies on the right side — guard Davin Joseph and tackle Jeremy Trueblood — after tackle Kenyatta Walker suffered a season-ending knee injury. The Bucs, 11-5 the previous season, went 3-9 with the rookies and finished 4-12. They were ranked 31st in the NFL in total offense. But they had other problems — primarily, rookie Bruce Gradkowski and Tim Rattay at quarterback (though with Trueblood and Joseph starting, the Bucs forced the Super Bowl-bound Bears to overtime before losing 34-31 at Soldier Field).
The Bears are in better shape than that with Cutler, running back Matt Forte, wide receiver Brandon Marshall and veterans at the other offensive line positions.
Teams have made the playoffs with two rookie starters on the line — the 2004 Chargers with center Nick Hardwick and right tackle Shane Olivea and the 2006 New York Jets with left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold.
Assuming their showings against the Chargers weren't skewed by a substandard opponent, Long and Mills at least appear ready for the challenge — providing they get better with experience and not worse. You never know.
''As rookies, you need as many reps as you can get,'' Long said. ''I know it's beneficial to me and I'm sure Jordan will [say] the same thing. You get as many snaps as you can to be put in as many different scenarios as you can, so you can be prepared when the season comes around.''

Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis, a busy city in Minnesota that's known for its many rivers and lakes, is home to just over 390,000 inhabitants. The Minneapolis-St. Paul area is esteemed for both business and entertainment, and is outranked only by Chicago in terms of Midwestern business, and New York City in terms of live theater performances. It has been named a \Top Tech City\ by Popular Science, and ranked #2 in Kiplinger's \Smart Places to Live.\
Minneapolis is a modern city that's taken strides to reduce traffic as well as its carbon footprint. The city has built an expansive public transportation network that's used by over 60% of people commuting downtown. There are two light rail systems in the city, the METRO Blue line, and the Northstar Commuter rail, that ferry commuters between the suburbs and downtown. For those who prefer to walk, the Skyway System offers 7 miles of pedestrian walkways. There are also 10,000 people per day who rely on the 34 miles of bike lanes within the city.

The Minnesota Fringe Festival is the largest non-juried performing arts festival in the US. Every summer, from late July to mid-August, over 50,000 arts patrons flock to the city for 11 days of performances. The festival is renowned for its open format and the diverse nature of the featured acts. Nearly 200 performances occur in the many partnering theater venues, ranging from theater, to dance, to comedy, to opera, to puppetry. Viewers can even rate shows they've seen. Many performing arts fans find this festival to be an excellent proving ground for up and coming talent.

For some of the most stunning contemporary art in the Midwest, visit the 17 acres of the Walker Art Center. This center dates back to 1927, when it was the first public art gallery in the region. After 1940, the museum began to acquire works from artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, and Alberto Giacometti. Since then, it has grown to be one of the 'big five' modern art museums in the country. The museum focuses on Performing Arts, Film and Education programs. The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, an extension of the museum, is located at the north side of the campus.

One of the signature aspects of Minneapolis is its intricate parks system. The parks cover over 16% of the city, giving Minneapolis the most parkland per resident out of similarly-sized cities. A major part of the parks system is the Chain of Lakes, which includes seven lakes, as well as waterfalls and a creek. There are separate paths for bikes, cars, and pedestrians that connect these bodies of water. Perhaps as a result of this focus on outdoor recreation, Runner's World has named Minneapolis the 6th best city for runners, and the American College of Sports Medicine named it the 'fittest city' from 2011-2013.

FORT WAYNE – When Cody Hess turned down a chance in 2011 to play in the North American Hockey League – one of the better junior leagues in the United States – and play for the Fort Wayne Federals, it was met with skepticism by people he knew.
After awhile, Hess, who is from Decatur, second-guessed the decision himself.
When people ask me now if leaving the NAHL was the right choice, I say, It was the best of my career,' Hess said.
The reason is that playing for the Federals propelled him to professional hockey in the Czech Republic for HC Slovan Ústeètí Lvi.
Leaving the NAHL has been brought up a lot, said Hess, a forward. It was my last season of junior hockey, though, and I had spent three years away from home. I didn't know if I would go to college or what my plans were (for hockey). So I decided to play in my hometown.
At the time, I might have said it was the worst decision. But we had a goalie from the Czech Republic on the team, and he asked if I would be interested in getting an agent from there. (That agent) got me a tryout, and they signed me.
Hess had three goals and five points in six preseason games, but his momentum was halted when the legalese of getting him approved to play in the Czech Republic's second tier – below where NHL legend Jaromir Jagr is skating – was held up for about a month.
I have played eight regular-season games and have no points yet, he said. Mentally, I can't find my groove. The transfer (holdup) took its toll mentally.
Last season, Hess had 41 goals and 109 points in 40 games for the Federals in the Great Lakes Junior Hockey League. Before that, he played for the Helena Bighorns, tallying 41 goals and 114 points in 46 games during 2010-11.
While he would like to play in North America eventually – perhaps for the Komets – he's enjoying the European experience.
Living in the Czech Republic has been great. It's a totally different lifestyle, he said. When you can't find something in the store, you just forget about it and move on because it's hard to find someone to speak English to help. Another thing is gas prices. I have to pay (what amounts to) $8 a gallon. Driving here took getting used to. It was hard to find an automatic, so I bought a stick shift and I had never driven one before. The good things are all the sights we've gone to see – castles, waterfalls – and we go hiking in our free time.
The NHL's lockout has also affected Hess, since there has been a trickle down of players in Europe's top-tier leagues, forcing young players to the bench where they aren't gaining the necessary experience.
The hockey is great, Hess said. It's a higher level than I am used to, and it's hard to get accustomed to the style they play here.
While a lot of hockey players go to Europe and find it's not what they were promised, forcing them to return, Hess is having a blast.
I would like to stay and play here for a while, he said. I like it here, and the team is great to their players.

WOONSOCKET — Maple cabinets, granite island, plush, multi-hued carpets with that brand-new smell.
There's a feast for the senses in Paul and Lorraine Jacob's new house on Hillsdale Street. But the most important component of the only new house built in the city this year is something you can't see or touch.
Call it generosity: When the Jacobs' 46-year-old cape was destroyed by fire last winter, a citywide network of supporters launched a prolonged and persistent fundraising campaign to help the couple rebuild bigger and better than ever.
"It's great to be home," said Paul Jacob as he settled into the new place Tuesday, ending nine months in the exile of a North End rental. "We were really getting homesick."
Well-known figures in civic circles, the Jacobs run Jacob Video and Sound, the company responsible for cablecasts of City Council meetings on Cox public access stations. Paul Jacob has also been entertainment chairman of Autumnfest for about 20 years, and he's been associated with the annual civic bash even longer. He also runs municipal cable programming for neighboring Blackstone, Mass.
Still, the Jacobs were surprised and humbled by the outpouring of help that materialized to get them back on their feet after the fire, on Feb. 4.
A bubbly, outgoing woman who is rarely at a loss for words, Lorraine Jacob had trouble finding the right ones to express her appreciation.
"You don't expect it and you want to give back somehow," she said, throwing up her hands in a gesture of exasperation. "There's so many people you want to thank."
The Jacobs say insurance covered the replacement value of their existing home, while the fundraisers – most of them organized by the Autumnfest Steering Committee, brought in another $12,000 or so.
But somewhere along the way, Paul Jacob says, he and his wife realized the money, however badly needed, wasn't as important as what it represented.
It wouldn't have mattered to them if their supporters had only raised $1,200. The mere fact that so many people and organizations rallied to their side in a time of need is what he and his wife find so gratifying.
"It made us feel good," he says. "We were so down for a long time. We lost everything in the fire, all our furniture, all our possessions."
The cause of the fire was never determined, though the Jacobs have their theories. The couple wasn't home when the fire started, but they say there was a wood stove in the breezeway that was running when they left to run some errands.
Still, they've been told by firefighters there was no conclusive evidence the stove was the cause, shifting their suspicions to electrical appliances that were turned on when they left – perhaps a small fan circulating warmth from the cast iron stove.
Half the main level of the house was gutted by the fire, the rest ravaged by smoke, water and intensely hot temperatures. The two-story, which they had just finished sprucing up with new paint, wood trim and roof repairs, collapsed in heartbreaking heap of charred rubble.
They turned to a family friend, John Cote of J.B. Construction in Manville, for hands-on expertise. His advice: Demolish what was left and start rebuilding from scratch.
"The only thing we kept was the foundation and we went up off that," says Cote.
The Jacobs wanted Cote to be their general contractor at a time when a number of builders were vying for the work. But Cote told them he wouldn't take the job unless the Jacobs hired an architect first.
"There were all these guys out there throwing numbers around before they even knew what they were going to build," said Cote.
The Jacobs took his advice and ended up enlarging the footprint of the original house from a rectangle of 24 feet by 32 feet to a 32-foot square. They blew out the peaked roof a bit, too, so now they've got more headroom in the upstairs bedrooms and more closet space.
The six-room, two-bath house is a showstopper: New maple cabinets, granite counters and hardwoods in the kitchen, creamy ceramics in sparkling bathrooms, vibrant, fresh carpets in the bedrooms, and a composite deck overlooking the backyard.
The Jacobs were living in a rental on Glen Road whose owner offered to sell them the property while the construction project was under way. It was an interesting offer, but the Jacobs never took it very seriously.
"We've been here since 1965," says Paul. "We were only the second house on the street when we moved in. We're so glad to be back."
I guess the city will be helping EVERYONE whos house is destroyed by fire.
Yeah right!!!!!!!!

Nurturing these new contestants through all the aspects takes a lot of skill. Danni has the experience and knowledge how to develop artists. Cat Vas has demonstrated several times that she has the potential to be a good performer and artist over time. She has also shown her nerves can shake her performances as exampled in Boot camp and Judge's House. A lot of their personality has to be crammed into about two minutes each and every time.
Overall I felt pleased with her performance but each week she will need to improve to remain in this competition. Don't underestimate the Mino

The Oric-1 is 30
The Oric-1, which was formally launched 30 years ago this week, was produced with one thing in mind: to take on Sir Clive Sinclair at his own game. "The Oric is a competitor for the Spectrum," one of Oric developer Tangerine Computer Systems' software team, Paul Kaufman, emphatically told members of the press. "We are convinced …
Sniff! —My first ever computer.
Chosen in preference to the Speccy because it had an amazing "hi-res" graphics mode.
This must be the first article I've ever read on the Oric which doesn't make the connection with the Orac computer from Blake's Seven.
Random memory: For some reason, you had to type "CLOAD" instead of "LOAD" to start loading something in from cassette.
Might have to fire up the Oric Emulator tonight, just for old times' sake.
Re: Sniff!
'C' for cassette. As opposed to the disk drives that no-one could afford I suppose.
I owe my career in IT to my dad buying the 10 year old me an Oric... Once I'd bored of the handful of games I'd managed to find I had to have a go at learning to program. The awful fussy cassette interface taught me about audio signal paths, how to wield a soldering iron and how to get the best out of crappy cassette recorders. Ordering software from Eureka in France was my first attempt at conducting a business transaction in another language.
After all this time, there are still people making new stuff for it..
There is still a very dedicated following, and they even produce new software for the Oric. Have some nice links.
Definitely not a dead platform here. I've also met a couple of them in the past, nice people too.
Re: After all this time, there are still people making new stuff for it..
Most of the 8 bits still have a very active software scene. This is a rather nice new Spanish platform game for the Spectrum, CPC and MSX for example. CPC version was only completed a few weeks ago:
I don't think the Oric scene is quite as vibrant as the major 8 bits, but there is this Space 1999 game:
"the Oric - the name, conjured up by Tullis from a partial anagram of 'micro'"
Was it not taken from Orac, the supercomputer with a 'personality' of Blake's 7 fame?
Re: Name?
No, it wasn't. Anyone ever involved with Tangerine seems to need to re-explain this in every single interview.
Awful design though. A tape CRC routine that didn't work, a power on initialisation process that was massively timing critical (you're supposed to let the PSU warm up a little first before plugging it into the computer). Lots of errata and modifications for stability.
I have one sitting about waiting to be fixed for a friend but I never seem to get around to doing it.
Yep, a lovely machine
.. shame it didn't actually work properly.
I remember them well
My best friend at school had one of these. I remember the many minutes waiting for Manic Minor to load. The sound quality from the Oric was very good, particularly the hall of the mountain king and the blue danube.
No complaints about the serial attributes?
My understanding of the standard Oric conversation is that somebody has to point out that...
When the ULA scans a video byte it's either an instruction to change the current two-colour palette or to output pixels. The net effect is that you have to leave a gap anywhere you want to change output colours. Teletext did a similar thing but got away with it because words naturally have gaps between them. Video memory was more compact but it was very hard to write multicolour games when compared to the other micros of the day.
(and access to the sound chip was only through the versatile interface adaptor, which was a further pain)
Re: No complaints about the serial attributes?
The serial attributes indeed have been a pain for a while, but like many things they just required some lateral thinking to actually be no more than just a feature to use correctly.
Since then there's been quite many games that pushed the envelope in the graphical department, like Stormlord, Impossible Mission or SkoolDaze.
If you are interested about what changed on the Oric in the last 30 years, I invite you to take a look at the Oric Birthday page: https://www.facebook.com/OricBirthday (and associated site: http://oric30years.defence-force.org), there are some cool pictures and small articles explaining for example the issue you are talking about like that one about the graphics:
Ah, them were the days...
A nice trip down Memory (hah) Lane for me, too.
In 1978-80 I was transitioning from programmable calculators (PCW published my AI-like Noughts & Crosses program for the Casio fx502p) into computers and after a false start I ended up with the TI-99/4 (the chicklet keyboard precursor to the 4A, that in the UK came with a modified Skantic TV as a monitor) after selling my soul financially...
I remember the UK101, the Rockwell AIM65, and the excitement that "hobby" computing generated in the UK - it was a real compute-by-the-seat-of-your-pants time. All those ingenious tricks to reduce the size of programs - like LET A = SGN(PI) instead of LET A = 1 for the Sinclair - and the mean trick of turning a QL upside down to see if all the key caps fell off...
I ran a TI-99 group back then, and friends I made through using the TI in the early 1980s I still correspond with today. I got into a bunch of things including investigative journalism (even wrote a book on the TI) and eventually moved from working in an NHS research lab into what wasn't even called IT back then.
Almost 35 years later I don't regret one moment. It's been a blast.
The C64 was the home computer on which I actually learned BASIC and assembler, but I remember one of my old teachers bringing his Oric-1 into class and having us take turns tapping a BASIC program in from a magazine, with him narrating what the code was actually doing and why. A very strong memory, and a defining moment, so even if my intersection with the Oric-1 was brief, it was incredibly important.
Ahh the Oric
I had one briefly before upgrading to a C64... its an interesting machine...
Many years later, I wrote an emulator for it entirely from scratch, just for something to do on my train journey to work...
Re: Ahh the Oric
Thank you sir, I've just enjoyed a step back in time with a machine I owned briefly. Shame it never took off, as the graphics and sound were streets ahead of the Spectrum, but the Spectrum served me well.
How come no one has mentioned the pun that was used so often back then on its demise, "Alas poor Oric..", or does no one want dare mention it because it was such an awful and obvious pun?
All three machines and others of the time, Johnson maintains, contain TV-out circuitry inspired by his pioneering work on the Microtan.
Cite? Everybody at the time just used an Astec modulator. The Microtan-65 photo even shows exactly that.
According to Paul Johnson, the ULA was originally created as a TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) integrated circuit.
Some confusion in this paragraph - the ULA emulator would have been a PCB with discrete TTL devices on it. The quote at the end of the paragraph doesn't make any sense.
I think Barry Muncaster was being a little disingenuous with this one:
"The 16K Oric [was] exactly the same design as the 48K Oric," said Muncaster. "We would have had no problems if the specification of a particular chip had not altered just prior to manufacture. However, it did, which resulted in us having to change the 16K circuit board. This has meant a 12-week delay in production."
The only thing that could have caused a 12-week delay would have a ULA re-spin. So, was it Tangerine's own spec alteration that caused the problem?
Were they rubbish?
I had a 16k one, still have it boxed in the loft. I waited six months for it to be delivered then used it loads ...
I wrote loads of stuff in BASIC that could now be used as great examples of bad programming but I'd migrated from a ZX81 (which I hated and was almost impossible to use sensibly). I learned how to program (sort of) I learned assembler (sort of) and I learned how the hardware integrated with the firmware ... At that time I programmed the Oric-1 or I tried to get time on the 380Z and it's (black and white) basicsg interpreter at school ... the Oric inevitably won.
Clunky and made of plastic it might have been but it worked and, most importantly, I could afford it ...
Graphics memory
It had stacks of Ram: 64KB attached to the Z80A for CP/M, programs and data, and 96KB given over to the hi-res, 512 x 512 colour graphics sub-system, plus 2KB for the 6809
512 x 512 is 256k pixels. How do you do high-res colour graphics at 3 bits per pixel? Is that red, green and blue each on or off?
Re: Graphics memory
Yes, most likely. We're talking the early 80s here, colour graphics meant "not monochrome". And back then, monochrome meant "black and white, nothing inbetween".
And you were lucky if you got to specify colour on a per-pixel basis. The Spectrum could only do it on a per-8x8 basis, the underlying image was still monochrome, the attributes colourised that. Saves a lot of memory.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Tiger's graphics, even via the NEC chip, were monochrome at 512x512, and colour only comes into the equation at 256x256.
and you can make toasted cheese sammies on the case...
The "original" Microtan seems to have twice as many RAM chips as the Speccy boards I've seen.
http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/images/speci1pcb-s.jpg is a pic of an issue 1, original Sinclair Spectrum.
I can only imagine the energy savings to anyone running one of THOSE in winter....
I owned the larger-cased but still-a-Speccy Timex/Sinclair 2068, which was one hell of a box for the time, had Turtle graphics, a ROM cartridge slot, and everything but a floppy drive control port...
which might have been enough to help Timex Computer Company do some sales damage to its nearest competitor HERE, the Commodore. But Timex bailed before they could find out and went back to having automated BP cuffs, alarm clocks and other, more salable kitsch made for them in Korea.
... easy to brick
Back in the 80's I bought an Oric Atmos for less than £30.
I bricked it by clumsily making brief contact between the power plug and the pins in the ports on the back when trying to push the plug into the power socket.
The Tiger looks very much like my
266K Hyperion. Nice package, limited expansions. DOS 1.25. I may still have a 720K floppy around with a 3D spreadsheet AND the operating system on it.
This missive typed on a 12 GB 3 GHz quad core etc etc.
XYZZY, dammit!
Brilliantly nostalgic..
What fond memories I have of this, my first computer. Got one in 1984 on the cheap from Dixons (£80 I think). Problem was that none of my mates had one, so couldn't swap games in the playground. With the lack of software available from WHSmith, Laskys etc., plus lack of funds, it meant I *had* to learn to program so I could create my own entertainment.
The Oric-1 manual is an amazing - takes you from PRINT "Hello" through to 6502 op-code in an appendix! I learnt programming with this manual as well as listings in magazines. I was hooked on programming and computing in general and wanted to do this as a career at the age of 13.
The sound effects BASIC commands were a great way to demonstrate the capabilities and ease of use of the machine. Funny thing happened though when I showed my mate PING, ZAP, EXPLODE and SHOOT - he was like 'great let me have a go!'. He proceeded to type in FART. The Oric's syntax error response cracked us up.
The Oric helped make it happen for me. Still have mine (and works), the most important memento I have.
Bless you Oric and all who sailed in her!
And all the Cuthbert games !!!!!

Abbas Kiarostami: Image Maker
July 7, 2007 - August 30, 2007
"When Satyajit Ray passed on, I was very depressed. But after seeing Kiarostami's films, I thanked God for giving us just the right person to take his place."—Akira Kurosawa
"We are living in the era of Kiarostami, but don't yet know it."—Werner Herzog
One of the most critically acclaimed and influential filmmakers of the past twenty-five years, Abbas Kiarostami (b. 1940) is the equivalent of a Godard, Kurosawa, or Fellini—a director whose films have given new direction to world cinema. Honing his craft as a documentary filmmaker concerned with the lives of children in Iran, he later gained a following in the West with a series of remarkable films that were at once documentary and fiction, "real" and created (And Life Goes On, Close-Up, Through the Olive Trees, and Where Is the Friend's Home?). Kiarostami solidified his standing with Taste of Cherry, which shared the Palme d'or at Cannes in 1997, and with 1999's The Wind Will Carry Us. Starting with the barest of scripts, and improvising specifics with his nonprofessional casts, Kiarostami crafts fictions that are barely removed from real life, works of deceptive simplicity and indefinable poetry that philosophize on how we film reality, view reality, and most of all, how we understand reality. In recent years he's nearly abandoned narrative cinema, instead channeling his passion for photography and fine art (he studied painting and design at Tehran University) into digital video works such as Five, a Buddhist-like study of the rhythms and beauty of the natural world.
We are proud to present this Kiarostami retrospective, which captures each stage of the director's remarkable career, along with a companion exhibition of his photography in the BAM galleries. Together they showcase an artist who has not only entered the pantheon of world cinema, but refigured our very idea of what "cinema" can be.
For the Family
Many of Kiarostami's films, especially his rarely screened early works made for the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults, speak to adults and youths alike in their poetic, often humorous evocation of the world of young people in Iran. The Traveler, The Experience, The Wedding Suit, and Where Is the Friend's Home are all particularly suitable for younger viewers.

Do drivers here get hit for failing to stop and then having to be pursued. In NSW they cop a heavy hit.
Should be a mandatory prison term for fleeing the police in a motor vehicle, I reckon. The very act of trying to out-run police on public streets demonstrates a selfish recklessness deserving of a short stay in the clink.
So is that 7 passengers plus a driver? Either way trying to haul around a clown-car as a getaway vehicle was never going to end in success. Thankfully it seems no one was (seriously?) injured.
I mean I once got 9 people in a Honda Civic back from the Cotter, but there's no way I'd try my luck trying to leadfoot it away from plod (Even if it was just me in the thing).

Q: I think all this talk about Kevin Durant's new and improved all-around game, and being right up there on the throne with LeBron, has provided exactly the spark and motivation that LeBron needed this year after the back-to-back malaise of winning set in. -- Brian.
A: I agree that LeBron often can create motivation, whether it is genuine or otherwise. But NBA players also have an internal body clock of when the season truly begins to matter, with a wake-up call in place after the All-Star break. Just as the East hardly is settled at this point, with the Heat just two games behind the Pacers in the loss column, I also believe it is foolish to declare anyone an MVP frontrunner until after the break.
