The Unreal virtual world is known as a subtractive space which means that as we define shapes we'd like to have in the world we have to subtract them from the world itself. Try to imagine the world as one big solid, with each object you subtract removing mass from it. In other words, you're not building rooms you're hollowing them out!Read more
BitBender has posted a new guide: How to Setup Windows 95/98/Me on a Windows 2000/XP System
I love Windows XP. Best version they've come up with yet, in my opinion. It makes setup of new computers and networks a breeze. But, it does have a few problems running some older programs that can't be solved by running them in compatibility mode. I did a quick search of Google, but was unable to find a definitive list of programs that have known compatibility issues. I did find 2, both utilities - PowerQuest's Partition Magic 6.0 and Norton's SystemWorks 2001. The program that I couldn't get to run in XP was Easy CD Creator 4.0. The solution for me was to either buy upgraded software, or using the tools I had on hand, create another partition on my hard drive and install Windows 98 on that, in order to run the older programs. Not wanting to spend money to upgrade software that had worked well for me before, and having plenty of hard drive space, I chose the second option.Read more

I have completed my guide on Slipstreaming Windows XP SP1 and hope I can contribute to the awareness I feel Microsoft could of done a better job at for home users.Read more
Microsoft released Service Pack 1 for Windows XP late this summer which brings it to the latest available update to core components of XP. What Microsoft neglected to mention was that simply installing SP1 isn't always enough, system changes require you to re-install SP1. Thats where slipstreaming comes in. System administrators have favoured this approach since the birth of NT4 and Windows 2000 meaning companies and home users alike can install for example NT4 SP6 or Windows 2000 SP3 clean from CD. My guide shows you how you can backup and upgrade your Windows XP CD to Service Pack 1 level so that if you need to re-install you can go immediately to SP1 and skip frequent re-installs of the SP1 package.
