What's your favorite Resident Evil game?
This series has had a long history beginning way back on the original PlayStation, moving onto the GameCube, and making its way into the HD console generation. Which RE game has been your absolute favorite?
For me, I have to go with the remake of the original Resident Evil for the GameCube. It will always be, to me, the perfect Resident Evil game. It had just the right amount of tension, just the right amount of fear, the atmosphere was amazing, the voice acting and writing were actually pretty decent, and it was just overall a great game. Here's hoping REmake gets the HD treatment.
It's always been RE4 for me. You're right though, the earlier Resident Evil's were far scarier, but it's kind of difficult to vote on this since the later games have the advantage of better technology. It's hard to say that a really old game is better then a more recent one. RE5 would have been #1, because co-op was a brilliant addition and it really improved on everything that RE4 had, but it had no element of fear in it and the fact that enemies eventually had guns tried to make the game into something it shouldn't be. It was no longer "survival horror." RE4 at least had some scary moments (Regenerators scared the shit out of me when I first played it, and so did U3.)
RE6, wherever they take it, should be open world with quests or maybe in this case "missions." I always thought that would put the RE series back on top. If they just made the next game scary like it should be, kept the same gameplay elements (and put the Attache Case and Merchant back in) and added open world, damn that would be sweet.
mine's RE4.
Resident Evil 2.
Absolutely jaw dropping when it first came out. Terrifying also.
I'm going to have to go with RE4. Playing that the night it came out was absolutely terrifying. REmake is a close second though, that also scared the crap out of me.
Resident Evil (Original) beat it soo meny times and d cut verson
2 is not only my fave RE title but possibly my favourite game of all time. This game had it all. Zombie action. Scary as shit enemies. Great characters and multiple playthroughs. I must have beaten it 200 times. Never had more fun on a game.
I voted RE 0. I love the fact that it switches between Billy and Rebbeca. Plus I Rebbeca!
Resident Evil (remake)
followed by part 2.
and then the outbreak games <3
Zero was good, but i got really annoyed at the whole switching characters part. Would be nice to have a co-op partner. But switching got pretty annoying after a while
Resident Evil 4. Followed closely behind by Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.
I still play re1 and 2 on my psp and 2 is one of my all time favorite games. I doubt the remake will ever be on xbox live or PSN because of Nintendo having exclusive rights but if it does with achievments I would be a happy clown!
Resident Evil 4 for me by far. I always liked the franchise but never was a huge fan the actual game play(Combat). Res4 made it more personal for me then aiming off screen and shooting something as it got closer to me. My second favorite would be Resident evil 3...Nemesis was...an ass. But he is officially one of my favorite villains.
Hard choice.
RE2 probably the best game in terms of atmosphere, scale and how much it seemed to improve the already good original.
RE4 just improves on what was a bit of a stale formula though did remove the horror and suspense somewhat as well as the zombies, but is almost a perfect game.
RE5 added in co-op which I love and tweaked RE4's controls for the better, I actually liked Sheva and the graphics were amazing. Unfortunately the levels were dull, a lot of the plot had gone into Manga/Matrix territory and there were literally no scares left to be had.
So I would have to say it'd be RE4 I choose, though RE2 remade with RE4's engine would be awesome and the greatest game ever!
Resident Evil 4, loved the whole concept and new style they brung to the series, never really had the chance to play the earlier ones but i heard Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was really good.
Not easy...
STRANGER, not THAT'S a quite interesting but also tough poll. :beer:
Now I voted for the Resident Evil (Remake) but honestly THEY'RE ALL MY FAVOURITES, no more no less! One cannot exist without the other, except the first one back in 1996.
resident evil 4 is the best resident evil for me so ive really enjoyed playing it again in HD but would love to see a remake of resident evil 2 some day
I think RE2 is my favourite out of the numbered series, though I think overall, it would be the Outbreak Games. Regardless of what anyone says, I thought it was far more scary to see glimpses of things around the corners due to the static camera before they pounced while you turned without being able to move the camera sideways and remove any aspect of horror.
Admittedly, it was damn near impossible for me at the time to work out how to play online with my PS2 but I did it just for that game. Looking back, I can see a lot of that game going into the Left4Dead games.
I've voted for RE4, but I prefer the Wii version.
RE5 is great on the PC. Quite a lot of nice user made mods. IMHO it makes the game a lot more fun than the console versions. Got it on PC, 360 and PS3 with motion controller but I always keep coming back to the PC version.
RE1 Remake would be my choice of the classic games.
Tough descision anyway. I've liked every game from the main series (except Nemesis) and the first umbrella chronicles game was great, too.
I'd say Nemesis for the sheer fun of being Jill with a huge B.O.W chasing you around the undead city, the fact that he can follow you ANYWHERE gets me every time.
Also, TC you made a typo with Resident Evil 2's name. ^^
By far the first Resident Evil is my favorite.
I remember going up to Funcoland everyday when they got their shipments in waiting for it to be released. I can't even remember how often it kept getting pushed back, this was before games had release dates on every Tuesday (US) My friend that worked there, my brother and I were super psyched once we got it.
I would always get into arguments with friends over which one was the best, but realized it was generally always the first RE game they played that's their favorite, fortunately I was able to get the first one on release while the majority of people I know got into RE when they released the second one.
To me the whole creepy mansion was just awesome, it seemed way scarier than most of the environments/areas in other RE games.
Edit: I should also give Resident Evil remake an honorable mention since it was almost as amazing as playing the original for the first time, and the graphics still stand up to this day compared to the original.
Had posted this in the Collectors Thread in the General section, but heres my collection of RE games (except not pictured my PS1 RE games, RE0 and OutBreak 1 & 2) and then obviously the PSN downloads and Code Veronica/RE4 for GoD.
Love the whole "Only for Gamecub" disclaimer on RE4, man I was pissed when it was announced on PS2.
RE2 is the best game in the series just out of memory. Today it would be terribly dated but back then it was a masterpiece.
RE1 Remake and RE4 duke it out for second place
Resident Evil....4
*Unpause* All I had to hear was,".....STAAaaahhhrrrrrzzz".
*Pause* "I think i'll go take a break for a bit:p".
Oh and @AltruismIsDead that is a epic collection! (I love how the nintendo 64 Resident Evil 2 just laying there casually with the others)
I believe I've only ever played RE2 (N64), RE4 (Cube), and RE5 (360). 4 was by faaaaar my favorite!
Nemesis was the first one I ever played so it still holds a special place in my heart.... I would have to say that Nemesis or 4 are my favorite... Though I haven't beaten 1 or 2 yet >_< It's cool to see so many RE fans here! :woop:
All that it is, is a metal tin, a laser cell/lithograph picture of Leon and a small RE prologue that gives a small history of each of the RE games.
OT: Anyways, it seems like all my friends that have played RE pretty much agree that normally the first RE game you play is generally your favorite, and for some odd reason even though RE4 & 5 were good games, they just weren't either scary, or with the change of gameplay, never quite felt like RE games but more or less action suspense games.
That and it seems ever since RE4 came out, the rise in Resident Evil experts has increased. Especially when I browse the forums and see people being called "noobs" for wanting infinite ammo, hell I remember blasting my way through the first RE just so I could get the rocket launcher with infinite ammo. To me it just made going through the game again more fun.
I do agree though that going through the game again with infinite ammo or really good weapons is fun. That's the only reason I'm even trying to beat professional on RE4 right now, so I can get the P.R.L. 412 and use it on my completed Normal playthrough to breeze through, and eventually save enough money to get the Chicago Typewriter and Infinite Rocket Launcher.
RE5 was super fun I thought with infinite ammo. Especially with the M500. Just KABOOM and down they go! It's pretty satisfying, especially when you get to those parts that were extremely difficult and being able to just say "screw you" and oust them in one shot.

If the infection isn't too bad, you can take antibiotics by mouth for a week to 14 days. Your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment. Your doctor may use IV or intramuscular antibiotics if:
- The infection is severe.
- You have other medical problems.
- You are very young or very old.
- The cellulitis covers large areas, is on your hands, or is close to body parts like your eyes.
- The infection worsens even after taking antibiotics for 2 to 3 days.
In serious cases, you may need to stay in the hospital. You'll get IV antibiotics until the infection is under control (2 to 3 days), and then go home with oral medicines.
Surgery for Cellulitis
Rarely, severe cases may need surgery. For example, doctors may need to open and drain an abscess or collect pus in the tissue. They may also need to cut away dead tissue to allow healing.
Prevention of Cellulitis
- Practice good personal hygiene and keep your skin clean.
- Wear sturdy, well-fitting shoes or slippers with loose-fitting cotton socks. Avoid walking barefoot outdoors.
- Wash injured skin with soap and water. Make sure it heals over the next few days.
Some injuries are at greater risk for cellulitis than others. Be sure to contact your doctor if you have:
- Animal or human bites
- Puncture wounds deeper than a half-inch, such as from stepping on a nail
- Crushed tissue that bleeds
- Burns that blister
- Frostbite
- Deep injuries with dirt in them
- Injuries that touch sea water (making them more prone to infection), especially if you have liver disease
- Diabetes or other significant medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease
- Swelling in your arms and legs that does not go away
Outlook for Cellulitis
Most people with cellulitis respond to the antibiotics in 2 to 3 days and begin to improve. In rare cases, the cellulitis may spread through the bloodstream and become serious. Even more rarely, surgery is required to drain an abscess or remove dead tissue.

Water, food security and land stewardship are just as important as energy independence for this Texas ranch house, a winner in this year's Green Home of the Year Awards.
FAMILY AND COMMUNITY are the focus of this ranch, creating a space where the homeowners could age in place surrounded by family, food and the Texas countryside. Nestled on 100 acres in Texas Hill Country, this artist's compound is a colorful gem of self-sufficient living and connection with nature.
In the past few years, Texas has been plagued with drought and wildfire; the homeowners built this passive solar home in response to the changing landscape. A preliminary Wildfire Defense assessment was incorporated into the building site to minimize risk of loss.Read More

Beet Salad With Skordalia Dressing (Garlic-Potato Puree)
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 30 mins
This is a great 'salad' that may be best served as an appetizer. Crusty bread to accompany (and to spread extra skordalia on).
Ingredients Nutrition
- 15 medium beets, with their greens (or more)
- best quality extra virgin olive oil
- fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper
- skordalia
- 1 head garlic
- 3⁄4 lb boiled peeled potato
- 2 cups extra virgin olive oil (or more)
- 1⁄3 cup vinegar
- 3⁄4 cup roasted whole almonds (optional) or 3⁄4 cup roasted walnut, freshly ground (optional)
- Select fresh tender beets and cut off the tops and roots. Wash the beets, without removing the skins, and boil in a large pot with ample water.
- Meanwhile, clean the beet greens with the stems; add to the pot after the beets have cooked 30 minutes. When beets are tender, remove and strain off the liquid.
- Peel the beets and cut them into round slices; chop up the greens. Mound greens in center of a platter and surround them with the beet slices.
- Dress with olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the skordalia (the skordalia is served as a 'meze' - in it's own bowl, and dibs and dabs of the skordalia are enjoyed with forkfuls of the beet slices and/or greens). Make sure you have a good quality, artisanal loaf of bread to enjoy with this.
- To make Skordalia: Clean garlic and mash it completely (you may use food processor or blender). Mash in potatoes, one by one, until you have a thick puree. Alternately, add the oil and vinegar, beating constantly getting rid of all lumps (you want it very smooth). Many people like to add almonds or walnuts to skordalia, but this is optional.
Most Helpful
I made this recipe while participating in 'Recipe Dare', it was my payback recipe. Evelyn's recipe is well written and works out exactly as she states, the Skordalia Dressing ended up smooth and creamy. The beets and their greens were perfectly cooked and very good. I don't feel I'm qualified to give this recipe it's due. The flavor of the dressing is not familiar to us and we couldn't get past the tastes that we're not used to. I'm sure that someone more familiar with Skordalia will be able to review this recipe better than I'm able to.
There are many steps, but this is rather easy to make. The presentation is attractive and the Skordalia Dressing was out of this world. I will more than likely be using the directions for the Skordalia Dressing to use on other foods.
Judy, Skordalia is probably unknown to a lot of people. Basically, it's a very thick (consistency of mashed potatoes - and potatoes are a vehicle for this dressing, of course), very garlicky puree. In this salad, the creamy, garlicky skordalia offsets the sweet/tartness of the beets.

Oak Creek-Waukesha water talks make waves with Franklin mayor
PSC ruling throws wrench in works
Franklin - Mayor Tom Taylor this week said he is not happy with the way the proposed Oak Creek-to-Waukesha water sale has been playing out.
Taylor's concern is that no one from either municipality has formally approached his city's elected officials with a proposal. After all, he said, the proposed transmission of water from Oak Creek to Waukesha would require construction of a pipeline through at least the western part of the municipality.
"There has been no request for any meeting with the city of Franklin by any of the elected people representing Waukesha or Oak Creek and, from what I read, I would think Franklin has a lot to say," Taylor said. "One would think that if two communities are looking to construct something and it is going through another municipality, they would come in with a plan or a proposed contract."
Taylor said his concern includes just how much of Franklin's land will be torn up to install the pipelines and accompanying pumping stations.
Rate complication
Oak Creek and Waukesha were set to form an agreement last week that would have begun the process of Oak Creek's Water Utility selling water wholesale to Waukesha. But a Public Service Commission ruling denying Oak Creek's request to raise its rate for Franklin, another wholesale customer of the utility, by more than 41 percent has caused Oak Creek to have second thoughts.
Officials there had said they are set to challenge the PSC ruling - which agreed that Franklin's rate be raised 23.7 percent and demanded that Oak Creek's ratepayers pay a 22.13 percent increase - in circuit court.
Oak Creek asserts the PSC ruling hinders that community's ability to provide water to Waukesha. The appeal process will take at least another month.
Taylor said any increase would be unacceptable given the current economy.
"You have two communities working on a water deal that potentially will be very disruptive to Franklin and then you add to that the fact that our water rates would increase," Taylor said. He also noted that there may be opposition about the possibility of return wastewater being discharged into the Root River.
Because Waukesha is outside the Great Lakes Basin, the water deal also needs approval from members of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resource Compact. Those members include Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Year-long approval
Dan Duchniak, general manager of the Waukesha Water Utility, said the current application process includes an environmental impact study that must pass through the state Department of Natural Resources and that he expects to hear back from the other states in the compact within the next few months.
The entire process will take about a year, he said.
Duchniak said he expects Waukesha's eventual multimillion dollar annual payment for water will benefit all of Oak Creek's customers, including Franklin.
"I would think that the extra revenue could reduce costs to other customers," he said.
Mayors to talk
Taylor said Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi this week agreed to "talk about the situation over a cup of coffee."
While noting the water utility is a separate governmental entity, Scaffidi said he welcomes the opportunity to talk and do whatever he can to make a future plan work. He added that the recent decrease in Oak Creek's water rate proposal is not sufficient.
"There is a lot of work to be done before anything formal is in place," Scaffidi said, "but I am willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. I think everyone will benefit from it."
Waukesha is seeking a water deal for Lake Michigan water because water from its deep wells contains a level of radon deemed unacceptable by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Police were searching Wednesday morning for a 700-pound grizzly bear that escaped from a local zoo not far from a Lake Erie beach popular with Buffalo-area residents.
Residents called police about midnight to report seeing the bear from the Zooz Nature Park, about five miles from the popular Crystal Beach in Ontario.
Darlene Crosby told CHCH television she let her dogs out and saw the bear when they started barking. Police asked Crosby and her husband to leave their home as a precaution.
As a police helicopter equipped with thermal imaging gear circles the area, police asked people living near the zoo to stay indoors and to keep their pets inside.
The Zooz Nature Park is home to more than 400 species of animals.

The Internet Society wants ACTA reconsidered
Writes to policy makers with concerns
NON-PROFIT GROUP the Internet Society has written to the European Parliament about the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA).
In its letter addressed to "Honourable Members of the European Parliament" the group says that ministers must use the time between now and official ratification at the end of June to carefully consider the treaty and what it means for the internet.
The letter follows worldwide protests against ACTA that took place this weekend, and comes after a number of countries backed away from the treaty.
"This is an important issue deserving of your close attention," says the letter, signed by Frédéric Donck, director of the European regional bureau of the society. "All that we ask is that before you cast your vote you ascertain the facts, listen to the views of all stakeholders, ask them questions if you need further information or clarification, and make the decision that you feel is right in all the circumstances."
Like others before it, the European Union rapporteur for example, the Internet Society has concerns about how open the negotiation of the treaty was, or rather how closed. The rapporteur resigned, but has been replaced by someone else considered to be more friendly to the treaty.
"Our over-arching concern is with the procedure. We consider there was insufficient transparency and participative engagement with all stakeholders throughout the negotiation process," says the Internet Society.
"We strongly believe that policies and legal norms regarding the Internet and its use (including the enforcement of intellectual property on the Internet) should be should be developed with the full and active participation of all stakeholders in an open and transparent manner."
It says ACTA was not, and therefore is not consistent with its Tunis Agenda for the Information Society. Perhaps worse that this, it said that because it was not developed in an open way, it could undermine confidence in the European political system.
"The Internet Society believes that further and more inclusive discussions are needed on these complex issues before binding agreements are made," it adds. "Further, our concern is that without the combined insight, experience and expertise of all stakeholders, it is difficult to ensure that the appropriate balance will be struck between all interests, and unintended and negative consequences may remain unforseen."
The Internet Society also offered to discuss ACTA with any interested members of the European parliament. µ

The seasonally adjusted national index for June was up 0.7
points from May to 53.3 and the sector has now been in
expansion for 21 consecutive months, according to the latest
BNZ-Business New Zealand performance of manufacturing index.
An index reading above 50 is expansion and below,
contraction. Otago-Southland booked 48.1 in May and 48.8 for
Otago Southland Employers' Association chief executive, John
Scandrett, said the ''dent'' in the June survey outcome for
Otago-Southland was from production not moving through to
customers in desired volumes or in a timely fashion.
''The June index, as we saw the previous month, has again
produced feedback of inventory build tracking out of step
with new orders and deliveries,'' Mr Scandrett said.
June activity levels were mixed for the Otago Southland food
and beverage and selected machinery and equipment operators.
As happened in May, the textile, clothing and footwear
manufacturers reported ''solid results''.
The Northern region declined but booked 50.6, the North
Island central region fell to 52.8, while the Canterbury
Westland region was unchanged at 56.6.
Business New Zealand's executive director for manufacturing,
Catherine Beard, said the slight lift in expansion levels was
welcome, albeit with a few headwinds.
''The fundamentals of both the manufacturing index and other
indicators of the economy still point to positive activity.
''However, the continued strength of the New Zealand dollar,
as well as new order levels continuing to fall, mean there
are elements of the sector that need to be watched closely,''
Ms Beard said.
Employment levels continue to show more jobs in the sector,
while the largest proportion of comments received were still
positive, she said.

Pench Tiger Reserve
Pench Tiger Reserve was created in 1992, becoming 19th Reserve in the Project Tiger network. The core zone of the Reserve, Pench National Park was created in 1983.

Parvati is the one of the most scenic locations in Pune. It is situated at a height of 2100 feet above sea level. The temples on Parvati hill are the oldest heritagestructures in Pune and reminiscent of the Peshwa dynasty. It offers an aerial view of the city and for the punekars, it is a respite from the noise and pollution of city life.
Shaniwar Wada
Shaniwar Wada (Marathi: शनिवार वाडा) is a palace fort in the city of Pune in western Maharashtra, India. It covers six and a quarter acres in central Pune. It was constructed in 1732 as the seat of the Peshwa (prime ministers of the Maratha Empire), and remained the political capital of the Empire until its annihilation. The fort itself was largely destroyed in 1828 by an unexplained fire, but has the surviving structures are now maintained as a tourist and archaeological site.

Tungabhadra Dam
Tungabhadra Dam, which is the largest dam in Karnataka, is located approximately five km from Hospet town. The town is to the north of Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka. Nature has poured all her natural assets on this beautiful land. Thousands of tourists visit this site round the year.
Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are the two states that share the stored water among them. To reach the dam, tourists have to take a drive through a narrow road and some surrounding hills, which are bound with coffee coloured soil and green plants. There are some small and multicolored houses beside the road. If we discount the telephone and electric lines which moves in a zigzag way, the scenery of the road is beautiful. An entry to the each end of the dam is limited due to the security reasons. The dam has 33 spillway gates to release water.

Hampi - Dreams were made out of stones
Hampi (Kannada: ಹಂಪೆ) is a village in northern Karnataka state, India. The name is derived from Pampa, which is the old name of the Tungabhadra River on whose banks the city is built. Hampi is located within the ruins of Vijayanagara, the former capital of the Vijayanagara empire. Possibly predating the city of Vijayanagara, this village continues to be an important religious centre, housing the Virupaksha Temple. The village of Hampi contains several other monuments belonging to the old city. It extends into some of the old ceremonial streets of Vijayanagara. As the village is at the original centre of Vijayanagara, it is sometimes confused with this ruined city. The Vijayanagara ruins are listed as the Group of Monuments at Hampi as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Fort Karnalal. At the bottom of the fort is the bird sanctuary. Karnala is 120 k.m. away from Pune and 13 k.m. away from Panvel. The sanctuary is around 25 meters high from the sea level , while the fort itself is 370 meters from the sea level.
Maharashtra Government in 1968-69 declared this 4.5 Sq.Km. region as the bird sanctuary. Rich with natural habitats for various kinds of birds, in the sanctuary one can find around 150 species of birds. Specially, you can watch for Red Vented Bulbul, Horn Bill, Myna, Owl, Ashy Rain War Blur, Paradise Fly Catcher, RobinMcPie.
On the east of the fort, on the bank of the river Patalganga, is village Apte, on the west is Ransai, while on the north is Vhichwan. The whole area is full of greenery. The fort of Karnala and its famous steep rock always has been challenge for trackers. Bird watchers are advised to bring powerful binoculars to avoid disappointment. Karnala is worth visiting all year round except between March and June.

Devgiri (Marathi: देवगिरी) (sometimes Latinised to Deogiri). It stands on a conical hill, about 200 meters high. Much of the lower slopes of the hill has been cut away by Yadava dynasty rulers to leave 50 meter vertical sides to improve defences. The fort is a place of extraordinary strength. The only means of access to the summit is by a narrow bridge, with passage for not more than two people abreast, and a long gallery, excavated in the rock, which has for the most part a very gradual upward slope.
About midway along this gallery, the access gallery has steep stairs, the top of which is covered by a grating destined in time of war to form the hearth of a huge fire kept burning by the garrison above. At the summit, and at intervals on the slope, are specimens of massive old cannon facing out over the surrounding countryside.

It's easy enough to find all your external dependencies. Just run the program and open up the Modules info window. But how can I find all my internal dependencies? I know the program keeps a list of all the units, because I've traced my way through the initialization code a time or two. But is there any easy way to access this list from the debugger?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Another, but rather cumbersome way, is to generate a map file, it contains a list of all units used in a program.
see also this answer: How can I find all the units in my Delphi app?
The Delphi debugger can show you which units were compiled into a module (exe, dll or package). You can see this in the Modules view (View | Debug Windows | Modules). Click on a module in the upper left pane, and the lower left pane will show all the compilation units that were built into that module. If a particular compilation unit was made up of multiple source files (i.e a .pas and a .inc file), that will be shown too (when you expand the comp unit).
Alternatively, you can have the Delphi compiler show you a list of used .dcus by passing --depends when you compile a project. It will output a .d file with a list of the .dcus (and .dcps) that were required.
I use the GExperts Project Dependencies.
Here's the help:
Project Dependencies
The project dependency expert enables you to see what units a particular unit uses, and in turn what units use a particular unit. When this expert is activated, it parses all of the current project's source code for uses clauses and builds up a list of dependencies. To view the dependency information for a particular unit, click on it in the left pane. The right pane will contain the dependency information. Indirect dependencies are units that are used by used units of a particular unit.
You can refresh the dependency information at any time by clicking the refresh button on the toolbar and you can sort the file listing by clicking on the column headers.
OTOH, you can also use free Peganza's ICARUS as a more detailed reporting tool but less interactive...
GExperts has a Project Dependencies tool. I have used it before when trying to track down used units. You can't search in it but you can export the list to a CSV file and search there. This also only lists what is in the uses section. If you have a module included that is not being used it will still show up.
Have you looked at Pascal Analyzer or the free limited version, Icarus, from Peganza Software? They will create "uses reports" telling you what module uses what others, so that should give you the info you're after.
I know of at least two ways you could try to get a view of all the units used in your project
The easiest way is to compile program and check which
You can use a MAP file in conjunction with MapFileStats, this will not just give you all your dependencies, but the amount of code (and resources) they contribute in the final executable.
Useful to spot units you have dependencies to, but use little of, as well as spotting "fat hog" units, which take everything plus the kitchen sink with them.
FWIW, reducing dependencies and eliminating hogs isn't just beneficial to executable size, it's also beneficial down the road when it'll be time to upgrade to a new version.
There is a (rather old) utility called UsgParse. It builds a treeview of all units referenced by a project.
I found a copy on the NexusDB site via http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Delphi/borland.public.delphi.thirdpartytools.general/2004-03/0231.html

Linux in Government: Optimizing Desktop Performance, Part I
On a default Linux configuration, distributors provide six text-mode virtual consoles. You can access each console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 through Ctrl+Alt+F6; Ctrl+Alt+F7 switches to the graphical desktop. Each virtual console consumes memory.
Virtual consoles attracted me to Linux and they are one of my favorite features. But, I don't use those consoles much. I like having an extra one so I can get to a graphic terminal if I need, but as a desktop user, I don't need six.
I edit /etc/inittab (see Figure 2) and commented out four or so of the six lines that spawn gettys. This allows me to free up more memory to use with my OpenOffice.org productivity suite, which we'll reconfigure in a few moments.
One of the major complaints that I hear is how long it takes the OpenOffice.org applications to launch. You can add a quickstart applet to GNOME by installing the program ooqstart- gnome, which may help some. However, an internal adjustment to OOo Writer can improve the entire suite's performance.
To accomplish this, you need to start the word processor, Writer. Next, you need to open the Tools drop-down menu and select options. Once you open the options box, you are ready to adjust the memory and speed up your Linux productivity suite. Let's look at Figure 3.
In the above figure, you can see that we selected the first expansion box and then clicked Memory with our mouse. This exposed the window you see in Figure 3. I changed the default values under the Graphics cache for Use for OpenOffice.org and Memory per Object. I increased the first value from 6 to 128MB. I also increased the second value from .5 to 20MB.
After clicking OK, I closed the word processor and reopened it two times. On each occasion, the application took less time to open. Under Ubuntu, I found that OO Writer opened in three seconds, and in Fedora it opened in less than six seconds. Previously, it took 30 and 26 seconds, respectively, for the word processor to launch.
Due to space limitations, we have to break this discussion of optimizations into different parts. Hopefully, the first article enables you to make improvements in your desktop's performance. Each change we make in future articles will have a cumulative effect, and soon you will see your entire Linux operating system in a new way--as a fast desktop.
Tom Adelstein works as an Analyst with Hiser+Adelstein, headquartered in New York City. He's the co-author of the book Exploring the JDS Linux Desktop and author of an upcoming book on Linux system administration, to be published by O'Reilly and Associates. Tom has been consulting and writing articles and books about Linux since early 1999.
Uh... yeah.
Just like it is in every other distro. They all use the same base kernel, you know.
Start from the beginning...
Actually, very few general purpose Linux distributions use kernel.org stock kernels, and this has been the case for a long time. Execute 'uname -a' and you will see some distro-specific suffix on your kernel image that designates the patchset used.
On a similar note, not all 2.6.x kernels will export this vm control to the /proc interface. In general, the vm.swappiness variable is a control unique to the "O(1)" process scheduler used by default in the vanilla 2.6.x kernel. Readers should be aware that this is not the only option, and I will give some plugs to some of my favorite patchsets specifically crafted for desktop use:
ck: my favorite for mainstream desktop workloads, this patchset used Con Kolivas' Staircase process scheduler, which is designed to reduce latency in a concise and understandable manner. Read the website for more details, including its simple /proc variables:
cko: just like ck, but for those who can't sleep at night unless their kernel is dripping blood on the edges. This is what I use, because the Staircase + Reiser4 combo makes my Inspiron 500m sing. Also has vesa-tng framebuffer, Inotify kernelspace message passing, and the latest ALSA drivers built in. Also try the split-off Software Suspend 2 patch for cko, which allows for a suspend that resembles what Microsoft calls Hibernate.
nitro: similar to cko, but with genetic scheduling and some other goodies, and it's available as an ebuild for Gentoo.
love: Lovechild has his own ideas about low-latency linux kernels, based on Ingo Molnar's real-time preemption and Completely Fair Queing. In particular, he doesn't like Reiser4 for interactivity, and instead recommends a tweaked version of ext3:
I hope this was a useful introduction to desktop linux performance issues, and highlights the massive body of work that is being done to implement and test next-generation code that will speed-up desktop linux. It all starts with the kernel, and any multi-part guide to getting the most out of your desktop linux should start with picking a filesystem and picking a kernel source tree to work with. The differences can be night and day.
Of course, it is very easy to compile a kernel that will not boot or work correctly with your existing Linux system. If you don't know if your system uses devfs or udev, or what filesystem(s) your system lives on, or how to load a kernel module, then this guide will be a little over your head. If you want to learn about kernel configuration, check out what you're running on now:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
Good luck!!
I think the poster is referring to the apparent typo in the article, where it says "/proc/sys/vm/swappinessd".
Hope to have that fixed soon.
fixed - huh.
If you wanted OOo to be reall
If you wanted OOo to be really fast, you could store it on a RamDisk. Such is the power of Linux :)
The problem with this, as it
The problem with this, as it touched on earlier in this thread, is that allocating memory to a ramdisk is sometimes silly. It just means that everything else in the system will has less physical ram to play with. i.e. the swap will be used more often. The operating system should decide which files are being used and cache them - it can almost certainly do a better job than you can.
load OO into the RAM...
I would be very curious to learn how exactly (=> details !) you would achieve that !
Michael Bischof
I'd rather have a "swappy" desktop system
When I'm "multitasking" in the human sense of the word, sometimes I have a big graphic open in the GIMP, and I need to compile something.
If the kernel was willing to be "swappier" it would take all those pixels I wasn't working on at the time, and park them on disk while using RAM for disk buffers to make the compile faster.
How to tell if the system is swapping too much:
It does do this. Just not in
It does do this. Just not instantly. Imagine if as soon as you started to compile it immediately swapped out everything else. What if you decided you wanted to edit your image again, and it then had to swap it back in. What this thread is about is building a responsive desktop system. This means that it is responsive, and when you click something, you get an immediate response. It is not about getting the absolute fastest kernel compile times...

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

If I put a reverse proxy in front of a load balancer Then does it take thrice the bandwidth to do requests?
E.g. request 100mb video from http://site.com/
site.com gets request from proxy <- load balancer <- server
- server returns data to load balancer (100 mb sent)
- load balancer passes to proxy (another 100 mb sent)
- proxy to client (final 100mb sent)
is that how it works?

I was looking for a quick kettle corn recipe that I could use popcorn bags with. This was decilicious and quick. My hubby and kids loved it! Its really not that messy. I suggest melting the butter/sugar in a measuring glass with a handle, it get really hot and using the heat resistant spatulas to get all the carmeling mixture in the popcorn. Yummo-O!
