- Europe busts Nintendo for keeping game prices high - Console outfit
Nintendo broke European antitrust laws, and an announcement of the level
of fine is possible by next week, according to today's Wall Street Journal.
Nintendo's sin, says the Journal, was obstructing cross-border sales, thus
allowing it to keep prices high, and keep a frim grip on its distribution
channel.

that weighs 6.4 pounds and measures 13.9 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and 1.2
inches thick.

Gene program is directed at creating, by late 2005 or early 2006, a new family
of supercomputers that will be able to perform a quadrillion calculations per

contain
65,000 processors and 16 trillion bytes of memory. Due in 2004 or 2005,
the system will be able to perform 200 trillion calculations per second.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will use the system for performing
nuclear weapons simulations.
- Bank error gives woman billions - Following
an error at a
Swedish bank, a woman was credited with a sum of money twice the size of
the country's defence budget. When Gun-Britt Marklund checked her account to
see whether her monthly child allowance cheque had arrived, she found that the
government had very kindly given her more than 93 billion kronor (L7bn). The
mother of three told Associated Press: "You never see amounts like this. I
thought that this money doesn't belong to me, and that something must be
wrong."
- Domino effect creates smallest chip - IBM has announced the latest
development in
the battle to create the smallest chip. Scientists at the company's
Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California have built and operated a
computer circuit in which individual molecules of carbon monoxide move like
toppling dominoes across a flat copper surface. According to online
publication Science Magazine, each circuit is so small that it would be
possible to fit 190 billion of them on a standard pencil-top eraser.

- Unreal Tournament 2003 Tweak Guide - With UT2003 the incredible
game engine developed by Epic Games is combined with the innovative gameplay
and fast-paced action designed by Digital Extremes. And for a touch of
nostalgia, the whole kit and kaboodle is distributed by Atari. This is one
game dripping with atmosphere and charged with adrenalin,
and it deserves nothing less than a tweak guide from TweakTown to do it
real justice!
- UT2003 Beta Patch 2126 - Here's a new
beta patch for UT 2003 that was released on Epic's master server.
- How to create a Voice Pack for UT2003 using Unreal Editor 3.0 -
Voice Packs were one of the great ways of personalizing Unreal Tournament.
When UT2003 (finally) came out, everyone was very disappointed that voice
packs didn't seem to be possible; there is no obvious way of selecting the
player's voice in the GUI, and all the taunts for all characters appear to be
in a single file (PlayerSounds.uax). Well, after several hours of enjoying
UT2003 I just had to get my Homer J Simpson voice pack back.
So I went to work, and finally figured out how to do it.
