By Demand [Nov 2009]

[Anorion]

Preview up in 20 odd days. Post software demands in here, along with section suggestions for the DVD.

[rhitwick]

??
OCT is settled so soon? Its only 4th of Sept.

Are you guys going to take a one month holiday hence working 30 hours a day? :razz::razz:

[topgear]

WoW! That's really quick !!!

At this kind of speed they can release two mags in one month :p

[clmlbx]

if oct is settled then pls let us know which demands are fullfilled. just a rough1 no need to be precise.

graphix card reviews will be great .. Dx 11 cards.. Ati cards must be out and nvidia must be in process . so what to lookout before you buy and that can be accompanied by Psu reviews .

[sjoardar]

Windows 7 RC 64-bit version installation image, P L E A S E !

[Anorion]

^Unsure if they are still giving out serials

[topgear]

Yup, I want that to. But for serial you guys need to obtain a legitimate SN which may still work while activation. If not you will have to find some other method which I will not discuss :p

[jai sayan]

Please Review Multiplayer Browser Games such as

1] Quake Live - Multiplayer FPS
2] Evony.com - Empire Building Strategy
3] eRepublik - Global Strategy Game

eRepublik has been reviewed around the world by many magazines & newspapers like Newyork Times. eIndia (India in eRepublik) needs more Indians to be active. Indian states have been occupied by countries like Iran and indonesia.

Here's eIndia MAP : http://www.erepublik.com/en/map/India

[Anorion]

^Ooh good idea. Was trying out Legend of Katha, its an MMORPG by Amar Chitra Katha http://www.legendofkatha.com. Not great IMO so far.

[raj_v1982]

Windows 7 entreprise edition
32bit and 64 bit :)

[sjoardar]

^Unsure if they are still giving out serials
Yes, they (MS) are indeed!

Yup, I want that to. But for serial you guys need to obtain a legitimate SN which may still work while activation. If not you will have to find some other method which I will not discuss :p
I already have the keys for both the 64-bit version and the 32-bit version, but only the 32-bit installation image.

I have been using the 32-bit version for a couple of months, first on my old Pentium-IV 2.8 GHz PC and now on my new PC. I like it a lot, but the greatest gripe is lack of full support to my old HP DJ printer and SJ scanner. Nero 7 Ultra is also not working. As for the rest, so far so good.

1. iTunes9
2. iPod tut. (Just can't seem to get the pictures working.)
3. I would like a good free game level editor which I could use mainly for architectural building / landscape presentation, you know, one where I could go down in detail to at least about 1 cm, huge poly-counts, etc. Quake and many other game editors I've come across manage down to about 2in (5cm) which is not good enough.

Old Digit Archive Please

Fifa 2010 or PES 2010 Demos
NFS Shift is also released so Demo please

reviews about Gaming Consoles and
Operating Systems :D

[Technocratamit]

Why look for demos instead of free games , I mean games like Urban Terror,Battle for Wesnoth,etc etc there are plenty of free games, I would appreciate if more free games which can run on both linux and windows machines are given on digit dvd ! One more thing videos covering entire webinar including question answer section should be given.
Thanks

[topgear]

Demo gives us a fair idea about gameplay of those commercial though great games :p

So we can decide if we want to go for a commercial game or not coz once you buy it there's no way to go back. So demo is really important.

As for free games I also play small free games a lot and I reall like them. Games like Trilby, Super-Mario, Cave story etc. are a great fun to play. :p

[qarch]

I have noticed that most free large games of FPS, strategy, MMORPG, etc genre are basically multi-player games to be used in a networked environment or the internet and that these free games are basically the clients.

I would like to see a free large game which is single-player FPS / strategy type with a long storyline like in Doom, Quake, Half-life, Call of Duty, etc.

[layzee]

+1 for PES 2010 Demo

I agree with you

[mlijo]

Adobe CS4 Master Collection....

[Anorion]

A couple of discs were added after I put up this thread, so I threw in some of the demands from this thread into the Oct DVD. Working on the Nov DVD now, so keep the requests coming in. Not seeing any requests for sections... screensavers, desktop customization... things like that.

[layzee]

@Anorion
Ok lets see -

Desktop customization :-
1. Stardock WindowBlinds skins
2. Stardock IconPackager and skins
3. Concept car wallpapers
4. FinderBar

Request for sections :- Please bring back "My Desktop"

[Krow]

Give us mac4lin, ubuntu look for xp, and themes of the like. In case of mac4lin, we would also like a tutorial for uninstallation.

I ad demanded for a tutorial of QuarkXPress, is there any progress on that? The good news is that I learnt the software on my own through trial and error and I'm very willing to help or write a tutorial, if you guys are interested. :)

[Anorion]

^^Not the individual contents of the sections, but the sections themselves... say something like kids, or developer tools, or web design tools - considering hobbies (Chess enthusiasts have been asking for chess related software for some time now)

^The tutorials usually accompany the theme of the magazine. Great that you already learnt - t&e is the best way to learn these things. But the possibilities are endless, and nifty little features are hidden in improbable places.

[Krow]

I agree in the sense that one can never stop learning softwares. I know some ppl who have been working on Photoshop for 12 years and don't even use the toolbar (all kbd shortcuts) and even they say that they are still learning the software. :)

About the sections :

Bloggers page and travel page. Travel where people could get their travelogues published as anyway Digit has ads of travel products and has carried features on what to carry on a travel (gadgets).

Also, one page could be dedicated to a sci-fi story written by readers.

Photography could be given some space in the mag. Some tutorials and guides and how to choose the right lens/camera/accessories.

Open Source section is mandatory IMO as now anyway you guys are considering giving DVD distros. I believe that more space should be given to it every month. I am a big fan of your Open Source issue and I believe that it should be given more importance that merely a sub-section in toolbox.

I like the DIY section, could case-modding be included in it? As in, how to mod a mid-tower case to fit in a bulky cooler like the TRUE 120?

OFFTOPIC: One last request, could admins post regularly here? Anorion, you posted here and this motivated me to make such a long post already. If you guys appear more on the forum and join in some discussions here and there, many more people will join in. This is the only forum where Ive seen admins with such a low post count. Please do appear regularly on the forum admins. Please. :)

[layzee]

^^
+1 for DIY Case Modding
Also a guide related to airflow in cases will be appreciated

[Krow]

Also, a special section on cable management in mid-tower cases as these are the ones which become cramped. :)

[layzee]

+1 for cable management in mid-tower cases

[Krow]

I was thinking and I also thought up some more things. Like already the DIY section is there. Can it be pimped up to the extent that Digit readers can do pretty much everything related to computers by themselves. Do you guys get my vision? Every month a new thing can be introduced, with demands from us of course. Whatever we want to do, Digit can teach us. That would be pretty cool, eh? I am of the opinion that Digit readers should be self reliant and many people will look forward to the next DIY.

[Anorion]

@layzee and Techalomaniac: Intense do it yourself workshops... yeah that's a great idea. The travel idea needs some kind of tech hinge to be seriously considered though. We are however, contemplating cable management as a whole, not just within cabinets. Cable management within cabinets could be covered, but would be theoretical guidelines - as the layout differs from cabinet to cabinet, and the PSU plays a role. However, for general cable management, we can show images, and the different things used to organise and tag cables, and discreetly hide them.
@topgear FT to Gaming is a great idea, but we had it first :p
@pravinbv: Linux drivers coming up, but what applications in Linux tax graphic cards? does anyone here use Linux to such an extent that they need a decent amount of graphics memory? I'm not doubting the OS...
@drsubhadip: we barely give away Linux distros, 64 bit versions are some time coming... and Debian would eat up what two and a half d/l disks... although I have been thinking of Debian Net Edition for sometime.
@vishalgmistry: Comparing gaming consoles would be terribly unfair... I'm guessing... however it might seem like a good idea to educate people about what console they should get depending on their needs. Will note the point down, but such efforts would be derailed if buyer considerations include how suitable it (the console in question) is for certain illegal activities.

[Krow]

Tech used in various places... Could that be considered? Like I visited a remote village in Bihar and the best tech they had was mobiles, one solar cell (for charging mobiles) and motorcycles.

I'll keep thinking meanwhile, please do keep posting here, its good to see you regularly here. :)

[vishalgmistry]

by review i mean the same thing educating peoples (like me) about gaming consoles cause i am planning to get one for myself ...& what about OS, you can do the same thing for OS too...

[Krow]

In this month's Digit, the same Q has been answered. They rightly said that OSes are made keeping certain factors/uses in mind and it would be unfair to compare OSes directly. Each person's needs differ and so does his choice of OS. :)

[iBot]

Microsoft Visual Studio Express would be nice in the next DVD.

[topgear]

Give all XP to Windows 7 customization tools discussed in OCT 2009 issue :p

[crownabhisek]

*NOTE: I only included these 64 Games because they are LARGE! & GREAT!!!

So do u have any "FREE" full HD movie in mind that Digit can download and share?
Please mention here, I think they will sure provide if they can...;-)

[anuragingle]

i think last year Digit had provided Terminator Part 2 on DVD,

maybe the can do the same with an old movie but instead in full HD

[topgear]

They gave that on dec 2005. How come you can say that last year :p

Also full HD movies requires a lot of space. So it will take atleast 2-3 Dual Layer Discs.

[anuragingle]

sorry my bad,

no wonder time flies away so fast

will just have to wait for blu-ray drives to come under 5000 bucks and that might just take another year
