ATI releases Catalyst 8.12 display drivers - Download

Posted: 10 Dec 2008 11:56 PM CST

Several days ago we reported that nVIDIA released GTA 4 optimized v180.84 ForceWare. If you were an ATI video card user, here is some good news – ATI have released Catalyst 8.12 drivers. These drivers are supposed to increase performance, fix graphics corruption issues and compatibility issues on number of games including Grand Theft Auto 4.

Although Catalyst 8.12 is supposed to optimize GTA 4 performance, release notes mention nothing of it. I could not test these drivers myself as I do not own an ATI graphics card. Anyways it is highly recommended to to update your drivers to the latest version.

Mathematica 7.0 - Modeling, simulation, visualization, development, documentation, and deployment.

Posted: 10 Dec 2008 11:05 PM CST

Here is a nice piece of software which I'm sure students and professionals in scientific, engineering and mathematical fields will find useful. Data and function visualization, visualizing and analyzing graphs, formula manipulation and optimization and report generation are just a few of the functions Mathematica is capable of. As of 11/12/2008, v7.0 is the latest available version of Mathematica.

Developer Description

If you're doing anything technical, think Mathematica--not just for computation, but for modeling, simulation, visualization, development, documentation, and deployment.

Why Mathematica? Because this one integrated system delivers unprecedented workflow, coherence, reliability, and innovation. Rather than different toolkits for different jobs, Mathematica has been built ground-up over nearly 20 years to deliver one vision: the ultimate technical application and environment.

Features

The following is a summarized feature set obtained from Wikipedia. For a detailed explanation of full capabilities of this software, please visit this page.

Libraries of elementary and special mathematical functions
2D and 3D data and function visualization tools
Matrix and data manipulation tools including support for sparse arrays
Solvers for systems of equations, ODEs, PDEs, DAEs, DDEs and recurrence relations
Numeric and symbolic tools for discrete and continuous calculus
Multivariate statistics libraries
Constrained and unconstrained local and global optimization
A programming language supporting procedural, functional and object oriented constructs
A toolkit for adding user interfaces to calculations and applications
Tools for image processing
Tools for visualizing and analysing graphs
Data mining tools such as cluster analysis, sequence alignment and pattern matching

Ace Torrents signups open – 11/12/2008

Ace Torrents is a private torrent tracker which tracks General/0-Day content (Software, movies, games, TV series, E-Books, music, etc). Currently Ace-T tracks over 4000 torrents and has a user base close to 5000. My personal opinion is that this tracker is very underrated – it has good download speeds and excellent pre times.

How to unlock Prince of Persia 2008 (PC) bonus content (extra skins)

Posted: 10 Dec 2008 12:31 PM CST

A few hours ago we reported about Prince of Persia (2008) getting leaked to BitTorrent networks. Like Far Cry 2 and Red Alert 3, Prince of Persia too has some bonus content which is supposed to be exclusive to those who preordered the game. So called bonus content in POP basically includes a few sets of extra skins for the prince and Elika. Unlocking some of these skins is very easy, even if you did not pre order the game.

Launch Prince of Persia
Once on the main menu, go to 'Extras' then launch 'Skin Manager'
You will see an option titled 'Pre Order Code' to the bottom of the page. Click that, enter the code 525858542 and press ok.

This code unlocks Sands of Time classic skin for the prince and Farah – Soft skin for Elika.

Jade (Beyond Good and Evil) skin for Elika can also be unlocked once you beat the game.

In the console version of POP, Altair (Assasin's Creed) skin for the prince and a few others can also be unlocked. However I have not yet managed to find a way to unlock these skins on the PC version of POP. If you figure out a way to do this , feel free to share it with us via a comment.
