New pictures-search-game for Amiga
Computer City will release in 2003 a new game for Amiga computers, more details
can be found on the provisional website. For further information please contact info@compcity.nl or the Attention programmers team.
The freeware game developed by the programmers group Attention, these are Philippe van Calsteren, Elvis Poldervaart and Patrick Henz is a game similar to a FindIt error searching game called Foto/Foto that will be available for many platforms. This will work in the way that a website will be created on the Internet where the game will be played. Two almost identical pictures will be uploaded with one of them containing five errors.
The game itself will be run locally, there'll be only a contact to the server to download the pictures or to upload the result and to be entered into the highscore list. The first betas are said to be shown on the Benelux Amiga Show that is planned for April 2003.

amiga-news.de: Amiga Link Directory Filled with over 1000 Links
Our Amiga Link Directory (ALD) set forth in January, 2000 to fill the big hole left by the closing of AWD [Amiga Web Directory -DM].
Since then the result has been positive: 29 categories with over 1000 hand-sorted links. Alfred Sturm is the man who labors
behind the scenes in this area, entering new links almost daily.
If your own homepage has something to do with Amiga we would be happy if you would enter it in this area. You can also help by notifying

Golem: Data Rights Group against the Collection of Flat-rate IP Numbers
Regulations designed to protect personal rights have been twisted to do the opposite.
After the government of Darmstadt, according to multiple press reports, directed Internet
provider T-Online to archive which customers used which IP numbers at which times (because
of many customer complaints), the Independent Center for Data Rights (ULD) commented on
the decision. The Darmstadt oversight officials pointed out that the ruling was limited, and that
the rights situation to the officials of other German states would be unchanged.

CHIP online: Hacker-Group: Spy Tool for File Exchange Software?
Roland 'Cyco Myco' Weigert writes:
I just read two very interesting columns at CHIP Online. The first is from January 14th and covers the topic:
"Hacker Group: Spy Tool for File Exchange Software." According to this there is apparently a hacker group
in the service of the RIAA which uses a covertly installed worm in Windows and Linux media players to see
what media files the user has, then sends the information back over the Internet to the music industry (RIAA).
In the second article, from yesterday, comes this:
(Music Industry: No Spying in File-sharing Software),
denies the RIAA, who have something to do with all this.

amiga-news.de: Small Changes in Design
In order to make our menus a bit more readable we have removed the headings for 'Sub pages' and 'Special Pages.' These links may now be found in the upper menu under the link ´Sub Pages´ (bottom row, all the way on the right.
The links to our Partner Pages, which were formerly in the upper menu on the third row, are now in the right menu under ´Amiga Network.´
This was reached by a clear division between internal (upper menu) and external (right menu), and the right menu has become considerably shorter and thereby more readable. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Met@box AG has been founded on May the 15th 1996 with the name PIOS Computer AG by Amiga-Commodore developer engeneers (Dave Haynie, Andy Finkel) and former managers of Amiga Technologies (Stefan Domeyer). The initial capital, contributed by seven formers, had the amount of DM 1.05 millions.

Amithlon: PuhDerBaer update
Bernd Meyer writes:
I just realized that the stereo-capable version of PuhDerBaer (the
Paula-to-AHI redirector) never made it out to the users. Well, it's never
too late --- download the archive and please make sure you read the
included README.
Please note that I packed this up under Linux, rather than under AmigaOS.
So it is possible that permission bits may not be set correctly --- so if
things don't work, look for that first.

amiga-news.de: Amazon partner program buttons built in
Along the discussion (German) during the last week about new possibilities of funding there was several times the proposal among the comments to join the Amazon partner program. We signed it up now and there are now the two buttons for that built in at the right menu.
Many of you are buying books at Amazon. If you will do so in future by using one of the two buttons we will obtain a provision, which we can then use to fund amiga-news.de. So this is a kind of possibility to support us financially.

TV card software: AmithlonTV beta version 230
Guido Mersmann has released the beta version 230 of his TV card driver software
AmithlonTV.
New with this version:
- BUGFIX:
Found the crappy crash bug, that caused the bt8x8 driver sometimes to crash.
The same bug seems to caused the video freezing, the picture startup problem
and some fuzzy system trouble. I made fullspeed resizing tests without any
further picture trouble or crashes. Sometimes it's worth to rework a trouble
making driver from scratch!
- FEATURE:
The new reworked bt8x8 driver is able to process as many picture buffers
as required.
- FEATURE:
The new reworked bt8x8 driver is pre calculating the risc code size before
compiling, which causes less memory usage.
- BUGFIX:
Fixed a window sizing problem with smear (reported by Carsten Siegner).

Individual Computers: New year, new drivers, new prices
Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper is not only a PCI-card, it can also be used in an
Amiga. The first SID-driver has now been released for AmigaOS: Stefan Haubenthal
has written a 6581sid.library for common C64 emulators like Frodo or MagiC64.
Download: 6581sid.lha - 1442 Bytes
Unfortunately, the new year also brings bad news: Higher taxes, higher energy
cost and higher wages at our contractors force us to increase some prices for the
first time in the nearly nine-year old history of the company. This mainly affects
the new products. On the other hand, we will decrease prices for the existing
inventory.
The new pricelist is valid from February 1st, 2003.
Prices at your local reseller may be different from the prices listed here,
especially because of differen VAT rates in the European countries. Prices
listed here include the German VAT of 16%. Price lists published previously
become invalid with the publication of this list.
Buddha Flash IDE controller 49,90 EUR
Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper 89,90 EUR
Catweasel Z-II (incl. Buddha) 74,90 EUR
Catweasel ISA (PC-Version) 39,90 EUR
Gemini SCMS-killer (opto in) 149,00 EUR
Gemini SCMS-killer (coax in) 99,00 EUR
Graffiti Videocard 19,00 EUR
IDE-fix Express upgrade A1200 24,90 EUR
IDE-fix Adapter A4000 14,90 EUR
ISDN-Surfer w/o OVP 59,90 EUR
ISDN-Surfer w/ OVP 79,90 EUR
Silversurfer 29,90 EUR
Silversurfer limited Edition 34,90 EUR
A600 adapter for Silversurfer 9,90 EUR
X-Surf 2 ethernet 89,90 EUR
Lyra keyboard adapter 29,90 EUR
VarIO (Zorro/26-pin version) 49,00 EUR
VarIO (A1200 version) 59,00 EUR
PCI POST code display 39,90 EUR
Indivision Flickerfixer 99,00 EUR
Retro Replay 50,00 EUR
Retro Replay incl. Silversurfer 75,00 EUR
C-One reconfigurable computer mainboard aprox. 250,00 EUR
The products Kylwalda and IDE-fix express A1200 will only be produced on special
order. We're currently considering production outside Germany to keep the target
price of 189,- EUR for the Delfina soundcard.
Something funny at the end: Individual Computers is being massively attacked by
viruses in the past few weeks. Up to eight emails containing a virus arrive every
day. The amusing part about this is that it's viruses that only spread through
Windows and Outlook. Those who want to harm us should know that we're not using
sub-standard software, and attacks like this are simply ineffectual.

Pre-Releases of the new RC5-72 Clients available
Under the title link the AmigaOS-Clients (68k, PowerUp, WarpUp) for
the RC5-72 contest can be dowloaded. As said on amiga.org
the PowerUp-version is 100% MorphOS compatible. The clients
are so called "release candidate" versions. The versions have the numbers v2.9001.479.
The aim of the project RC5-75 is with as many computers as possible to decode a
72-bit-key. There are trillions of possibilites to compute. To take part in this you
do not have to have knowledge in programming, only free computer capacity. Jut
install te client, get some blocks and after decoding send them back. Help, a FAQ and
more explanations you will find at Amiga RC5 Team Effort.

Amiga Inc.: AmigaOS4 Feature Set: Release 1
January 13, 2003 - Snoqualmie, WA
Amiga is pleased to publish this first version of the feature set of the up
and coming AmigaOS4.0. The document will undergo revision in subsequent issues
but because of the massive demand for information made by the public, we have
decided to release it in its current state.
Due to the large amount of work and the obvious technical nature of OS development,
the document is both considerable in size, laden with jargon and, to save download
time, diagrams have not been included.
For those using older Amiga based PDF viewers, there may be a few minor issues
with displaying the front page graphics but this is due to issues with these
viewers. On official PDF viewers, and on the new AmigaOS4.0 viewer, the document
is rendered true.
Amiga would like to thank both those in the AmigaOS4.0 project team, who have
worked on this project with passion and commitment and those who have patiently
waited for their favourite platform to bloom once again. It has been a huge
undertaking and no one company, entity or person can take the credit. It has
been a fantastic demonstration of what makes the Amiga platform so special,
the coming together of like minds to build something extraordinary.
AmigaOS4.0. The legend continues.

AmigaOS4 Feature Set PDF

There is also a HTML version of this PDF document:

Sixgirls Computing Labs is under attack
John Klos from Sixgirls Computing Labs writes:
Sixgirls Computing Labs, which is known for being one of the only hosting
services which uses an Amiga as a full time server (reva.sixgirls.org), is
experiencing a massive denial of service attack of unprecedented
magnitude.
A previous attack saturated the 10-base-T connection of the Amiga server
with over 7 Mbps of syn packets, which caused loss of most connectivity
for part of a day, but the machine was put behind another Sixgirls server
with 100-base-T connections which filters this traffic.
Another attack began at midnight EST Sunday morning. Information from the
upstream router shows that this attack is using 150 Mbps of traffic to
make the connection unusable. Measures will be put into place to block
this traffic upstream, and normal service should resume sometime Monday.
The authorities are investigating.
Temporarily, you may have trouble accessing sites which are hosted on
reva.sixgirls.org, such as:
http://distributed.amiga.org/
http://www.totalamiga.org/
http://www.seal-amiga.co.uk/
http://ireland.amiga.org/
and others.
Please check back.

TV software: AmithlonTV beta version 229
Guido Mersmann published beta version 229 of the TV card driver software AmithlonTV.
- CHANGED:
Complete rework of the current video_bt8x8.lib.
Many routines replaced, improved or completly removed.
- BUGFIX:
Fixed a memory allocation problem. The video_bt8x8.lib didn't
work on non powerpci.library systems, now this is fixed.
- BUGFIX:
TVCard.library is now able to detect the Philips video chip
which is using the pci subclass "other" instead of video.
- FEATURE:
New option "Push in screen"! When using PowerWindows you're
able to drag windows out of the screen, which is very useful.
My TV window is placed at the right bottom of the screen by
default. When using the menu/hotkey to enlarge the window it
stays there and grows into the screen border. By using the new
option the window position is automaticaly changing to fit
on screen.

New URL for ylf's home page
As Amiga browsers apparently are learning and thus are slowly getting problems
with my hitherto domain redirect service in the form of annoying banner ads and
popup windows, I have now set up a new URL. As from now my site with the well
known hardware tips and the \"Amiga ist ...\" page can also be reached under
http://www.ylf.de.vu.
At the same time I would like to thank everyone for their feedback, and ask
those who have linked to my page to update the link at the next opportunity.
Regards, Jörg Thomas (ps) (Translation: cb)
