The rule was finalized recently so that, for the large defense contractors (i.e., those that have more than $11 million in reimbursed IR&D costs), in order to have their IR&D costs be allowable, they must submit annual reports to the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC). We wrote about the proposed revisions, and commented on the additional conditions they would create for many defense contractors. Carter’s goal was to be implemented through revisions to the DFARS (the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement). Carter clarified what he meant by the phrase, “encourage effective use of IRAD.” He wrote that the goal was to increase the Pentagon’s focus on contractor IR&D expenditures, so as “to improve the return on IRAD investments for industry and government.”ĭr. Limit B&P allowable costs in sole source contracts and encourage effective use of IRAD.Ī few months later, Dr. Identify and eliminate non-value-added overhead and G&A charged to contracts. Carter’s “Better Buying Power Initiative” objectives were: We first mentioned the issue in July, 2010, right here, where we wrote that two of Dr. Like most everything involving Federal funds these days, DOD has been looking at how it can maximize the bang it receives for contractors’ IR&D bucks. It’s not easy, especially for defense contractors, who also need to look the supplemental Cost Principles in the DFARS.Īnother emerging challenge for defense contractors has been the Pentagon’s heightened sensitivity to its reimbursement of contractors’ IR&D expenditures. As we commented in the ATK article- The Court had to interpret the FAR 31.205-18 cost principle, CAS 402, and CAS 420 in arriving at its decision. The parties’ contentions turned on the meaning of the phrase ‘required in the performance of a contract.’ Allowable IR&D costs are those that are not required in the performance of a contract, but the issue was whether the words meant ‘specifically’ or ‘expressly’ required, or whether they meant ‘implicitly’ required.Īs you can see, properly accounting for IR&D costs involves inter-leaving the FAR Cost Principles and at least one (and likely more than one) Cost Accounting Standard. Federal government through payment of indirect costs allocated to direct contract costs-generally in the General & Administrative (G&A) expense rate.Īccounting for IR&D costs can be tricky, as we discussed in this article that covered the Appellate decision in the matter of ATK Thiokol, which so far is the leading precedent regarding how to account (and allocate) IR&D expenses. As our readers likely know, defense contractors’ IR&D expenditures are largely (if not entirely) reimbursed by the U.S. They need to, if they are going to compete for next generation-type defense programs. Defense contractors spend considerable amounts on “independent” research and development (IR&D or IRAD) efforts. The result is a catalogue of nostalgia, humour and an abundance of affection for their homeland.Īlex thiab kuv yuav hlub, hlub, hlub lub caij nyoog kom khiav tawm peb cov qub pob thiab chains.Īlex and I would love, love, love the chance to escape our old balls and chains.

It’s especially convenient because you can install multiple cores at once without having to source their download locations. You can also go back a step by clicking the retro alien logo. The Backspace key helps you navigate menus. Maybe your coworkers want to play some Tekken, why not? I’m not saying you should run RetroArch on school or work machines, but it’s absolutely an option. A portable installation means you can take it and put it on a thumb drive or other portable hard disks as well. Click through the license agreements, decide whether or not you want start button icons, decide where the files go and you’re all set.įor the “download” file, just extract it (preferably into its own folder) and run the executable. The install wizard is simple enough, so let’s not go over it for too long. Getting bored of Vagrant Story? Switch to the SNES and play some Donkey Kong Country with your buddy with only a few clicks and with extremely quick load times. It’s more like sitting in front of a TV having all your old consoles plugged in right there. If a Sega Saturn game isn’t working with one emulation core, try it with another if the graphics look weird no matter how much you fiddle with the configuration, try messing with another core and see if you can get the game looking how you want. That might sound like a little much, but trust me, it can be very convenient. It also gives you the convenience of being able to run multiple emulators for the same system, and switch them depending on what is needed. Simply put, RetroArch gives you the convenience of having all of your emulators in one place. This question gets asked a lot, especially by folks who grew up emulating without RetroArch or other multi-system emulation interfaces. On newer versions of Windows, if you type in “64-bit,” a suggested search term will come up that you can click to easily check. If you go to the “About” tab of the System Settings on your computer, it will show it under “system type.” If you are not sure if your device is 32-bit or 64-bit, check before downloading the installer. Your current device, especially if you’re reading this from a desktop, is likely 64-bit. The version you run should match your operating system. However, be aware that you pick properly between the 64-bit version and the 32-bit version. Whichever version you choose is ultimately up to you and whatever is most conveinent. The “download” version is the portable version, and is a zip file that just requires extraction. On the RetroArch website, you’re given the choice between an Installer version and a version just labeled “download.” The Installer version comes with a setup wizard that will help you install the program to a directory of your choice.

Around the 1930s and the 1940s, Fergus met and befriended William "B.J." Blazkowicz, whom he would often refer to as "Blazko". Fergus would later train as an aviation mechanic, and was later promoted to airman after winning a bet while under the consumption of alcohol. When World War II started, Fergus moved to Perth in central Scotland, and later joined the parachute regiment. Around the age of sixteen, Fergus got a job in the Glasgow shipyard where he remained until the great depression of the 1930s. Fergus developed a cynical outlook on life, but developed a dry sense of sarcasm to deal with his hardships. He was voiced by Gideon Emery, who also voiced Gideon in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Balthier in the Final Fantasy series, Henry Blackburn in Battlefield 3, Poseidon in God of War: Ghost of Sparta and God of War III, Carlos Oliveira in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Steve Fox in the Tekken series, John Connor in Terminator: Salvation video game, and Laurence Nelson in The Wonderful 101.įergus Reid was born in 1908, Scotland's lowlands to unnamed parents, and his childhood was defined by poverty and hardships. in stopping Deathshead and Frau Engel, and later kick start the Second American Revolution.

It is admittedly admirable of them to at least try to break new ground in order to make their game more immersive than FMV was before. Never mind the fact that FMV games were already seen as a fad on it’s way out in 1996, with 3D gaming being the desired direction of the industry and of players by then. I can’t say I’m too surprised players who tried the game during development were not impressed. You would also be occasionally surprised by an enemy jumping out in front of you and attacking you.ĭropping you into such an alien setting without much direction however, the game feels a bit too cryptic. Along the way there were several cryptic puzzles and signs and various clues hidden about for those puzzles. It was structured like a maze, where you would move in first person toward any given direction through hallways and doors, all without any cuts to the video feed. The Sacred Pools character “Spider”, portrayed by actress Natasha PavlovichĪll developers involved touted a special new FMV structure called VNRS, or “Virtual Navigation in Real-Space”, to make the game feel less scripted and more free-roaming and immersive than FMV games were known to be. The Code Monkeys had previous FMV experience, developing Tomcat Alley, Wirehead, and Surgical Strike for Sega CD. Segasoft was on producing duties, Sega Studios LA in Beverly Hills, CA did the filming, and The Code Monkeys handled programming. It was always meant to be risqué, but would stop just short of being straight up pornographic. The game featured many attractive actors in sensual fantasy outfits. With those crystals gone, the once tranquil land of Amazonia became overrun with debauchery. The game dropped you into an alien world called Amazonia and tasked you with finding special magic crystals. The Sacred Pools was meant to be an exploration/action based FMV adventure for adults, though it is not known to feature full frontal nudity or sex scenes. Bones, and Scud: The Disposable Assassin, before their closure in 2000. They released several games for Windows 95/98, such as Rocket Jockey, Lose Your Marbles, and Net Fighter, as well as a few well known Saturn games like Three Dirty Dwarves, Mr. Their focus was not only on Saturn, but also on expanding into other platforms, most notably PC gaming. In short, they were formed in 1996 to replace Sega of America’s usual development studios such as Sega Technical Institute. If you’ve never heard of Segasoft, we do have an article on the defunct development studio on Sega Retro. See more of the brief history on this game after the break. The latter had held onto several CD-Roms, each containing alpha builds of the game for Saturn, PlayStation, and PC, which were all thankfully preserved online with no trouble and now playable on some emulators and on real hardware. Now, in late 2022, the game was released online with help from former Sega of America employees Joe Cain (Game tester) and David Grey (Associate producer on The Sacred Pools). It was actually shown at E3 in 1996, where it was slammed by press, causing Segasoft to quietly shelve the game despite all the work that was already done on it. According to The Gaming Alexandria, who made and released this discovery, The Sacred Pools was developed as an “Erotic Thriller” sci-fi FMV (Full-Motion Video) game for Sega Saturn, PC, and PlayStation (I did not stutter, thank you). An unreleased Segasoft game named “The Sacred Pools” has finally been found and dumped online for all to try. For a comparison of 24 bit vs 8 bit color, view the following page (in 24 bit PNG and 8 bit GIF formats respectively) The color lookup table then specifies colors in the full 24 bit true-color representation but it is so small relative to a normal sized image that the space it takes up is negligible. Thus, each pixel only requires 8 bits (1/3 of the space) to represent it. Instead, each pixel is represented by a single number (for 8 bit images, a value from 0-255) which is an index into a color lookup table. Image formats such as GIF also, generally, do not directly specify colors in the manner shown above. Additionally, some image formats allow for a much smaller range of colors (example: GIF is an 8 bit format and allows for only 256 different colors to be present in any image). Most image formats, therefore, are compressed to shrink the size of the image. This, however, is a very simple way of representing an image and takes a very large amount of disk space. It is also shown as an enlarged image (in the GIF format since the PPM format shown can not be displayed by most web browsers) where each pixel is replicated as a 50×50 solid colored square. The following is a super-simple image definition (3×3 image in ascii PPM format- from upper left, black, medium red, full red, medium grey, medium green, full green, white, medium blue, full blue). In the right proportions, red, green, and blue can be combined to form black, white, 254 shades of grey, and a vast array of colors (16,777,216 colors total). The simplest representation of an image has each pixel specified by three 8 bit (24 bits total) color values (ranging from 0-255) defining the amount of red, green, and blue respectively in each pixel. Each pixel (picture element) has one or more numbers associated with it, specifying a color which the pixel should be displayed in. For example, a large bitmap image saved in the lossy JPEG format will have a smaller file size than the same bitmap image saved as a losslessly-compressed PNG file, which in turn will be smaller than that image saved as an uncompressed BMP file.A raster image file is a rectangular array of regularly sampled values, known as pixels. NOTE: There are many file formats used for raster graphics, some of which include image compression to reduce file size. Scaling one up requires creating new data between the existing pixels, which can result in an image that's either blurry or blocky. Shrinking one down requires the data from multiple pixels to be combined, causing fine details to be lost. Since raster graphics consist of a grid of pixels, resizing one to change its resolution will necessarily change the contents of those pixels. An image with 24 bits of color depth uses three times as much data but can use more than 16 million colors. An image with 8 bits of color depth can only display 256 colors. A raster graphic's file size also depends on its color depth - how many bits of data each pixel requires. For example, an image 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels tall consists of 307,200 pixels total, while a larger 3072 x 2048 image requires 6,291,456 pixels. A higher-resolution image has more pixels and thus requires more disk space to store. The first is a raster graphic's image size, also known as its resolution - the number of pixels it is wide by the number of pixels it is tall. The file size of a raster graphic depends on several variables. They are one of the two primary image types for computer graphics with vector graphics. Most images on the Internet and your computer are raster graphics. Raster graphics are computer graphics that consist of a grid of pixels, also known as a bitmap.
