Delphi 4 - Ideal for all Developers

Advantages: Very cheap, Powerful, RAD compatible
Disadvantages: Can't distribute applications, No Help file compiler

...I have just finsihed writing a fairly major program, as part of my third year Computer Science degree course. It consisted of a total of 6000 lines of code, which for a program written by one individual is a fair amount. I undertook this development in the Delphi 4 programming environment. The choice of this was for two reasons. The first, and most important, was the applicability of the language to the program that I was writing. Secondly, it's free! OK, technically it is not free. Delphi 4 is now available as a 'Trial' version, which I aquired on the cover of a PC Pro magazine, back in Novemeber last year (Nov2000). The license does have several restrictions on it, such as the applications being produced must only be used personally, and not distributed comercially. Fair enough, after all it is free. Delphi 5 (and any new versions...

Review of Delphi 4.0 Standard Edition 4.0 Complete package

  The oracle's prophesy is you will love Delphi

Advantages: Magnificent views, well preserved ancient city
Disadvantages: Spread over a large slopping area which can be tiring

...the youths of Delphi for their education and practice. It was constructed in two levels: on the upper was a stoa and a free open space used for running practice, and on the lower was the palaestra, the pool and the baths. The Treasury of the Athenians, a mall building in the Doric order, was built by the Athenians at the end of the 6 BC to house their offerings to Apollo. The Polygonal wall, a retaining wall for the temple of Apollo is inscribed with the names of freed slaves. The Temple of Apollo itself is suitably impressive with Doric columns still standing. The Altar of the Chians. in front of the temple, was paid for and erected by the people of Chios, was made from black marble except for the base and cornice which were white marble. The result is a beautiful contrast. The altar was restored in 1920. The 4c BC Pythian theater...

Review of Delphi (Greece)

Hotel Amalia Delphi - Ok for a night

Advantages: Good location which is next to Delphi town
Disadvantages: Mostly for bus tours

...I stayed here for a night while I was travelling on the Kalambaka-Delphi-Olympia route. I have also stayed in Hotel Amalia Kalambaka and Hotel Amalia Olympia. Hotel Amalia Delphi belongs to the Amalia Group of hotels in Greece and their main target is bus tour groups. Places like Kalambaka, Delphi and Olympia do not have convenient public transport serving them thus tourists most likely have to join bus tours. Delphi is a small town which can be easily covered by foot. The historical site of Delphi is also easily accessible from Hotel Amalia Delphi. The hotel is rated as 4-star but mostly likely because of the swimming pool. Bus tours stay here as the small towns do not have other hotels which have over 100 rooms. Hotel Amalia Delphi is situated on a slope and overlooks the Corinthian Gulf. The nicest view from the hotel...

Review of Amalia Hotel, Delphi

Something for EVERYONE at DELPHI

Advantages: A Vast range of subjects, Easy to use, Chat-rooms
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Quite a while ago, I signed up for Delphi Forums, and they where not much cop, as a matter of fact, they where pretty plain and not much going for the site, but recently after reading Keith “Flashpointz” opinion on them and also getting recommended to them by Keith, regarding information on Paid to Surf Programs, I thought I would give them another try. WOW, were my first thoughts, how things have improved dramatically and the ammount of changes and added options are very noticeable straight-away. What are Delphi Forums? Well a lot of you who use the Yahoo Forums as well as other Forums, will have a firm idea what Forums are, and what use they are, but for those who don’t really know, A Forum is basically a site or a community, where you go and find first hand information about virtually any subject you desire...

Review of delphi.com

Delphi Is Worth The Hassle

Advantages: Has something for everyone. Is easy to join
Disadvantages: Difficult to learn how to navigage. Slow loading. Too many ads

...I started using Delphi.com when I joined PaidMania, a downline club. At the time PaidMania used the Delphi Forum for their members to learn about the program, receive information about other pay-to programs and to get acquainted with others in the program. At first Delphi.com seems easy to use. You can browse from a list of categories, or enter a piece of text to do a search. Either will present you with a list of forums from which to choose, and you simply click on the link in order to check out the forum. At the forum interface, which is done with frames (which I don't like), the default view is hard to figure out and lacks functionality. Switching to the advanced view, you can see a list of discussion threads. There are links to click on in order to post, view a visitor list, invite someone to the forum, or search that are all...

Review of delphi.com

It's worth trying Delphi.

Advantages: Very versatile, and extremely friendly place to go.
Disadvantages: Occasional technical problems.

...I first logged on to Delphi when I was dissatisfied with my old web community and asked people where else they went, and they suggested here. I chose a name and registered, which only takes a few minutes, and I went to look around. In the chatroom, I was astounded by the level of friendliness and the users' willingness to get to know you. If you are someone who is fed up of going to a chatroom and being ignored, then this is the place for you. I was greeted whenever I entered a room, and made to feel welcome everywhere. Delphi is different from many web communities in the way that you can set up your own forum, private or public, as a family and friends meeting place or to find people with a particular interest and talk about it. Your forum contains your own chatroom area (which is linked to the public one, and very helpful...

4th generation nano!

Advantages: sleek modern design and brand new features
Disadvantages: more memeory choices would be nice!

...This new stylish ipod nano is a must have fashion icon! The sheer range of colours will suit anybodys choice. The sleek alluminium finish on the nano means you will never want to go out again without your ipod. The new nano has a brand new shuffle feature where you actually shuffle the songs yourself by shaking the ipod, this feature works exelently if you are in quick need of a new song or artist.

COD 4 Review

Advantages: Every Aspect Of The Game
Disadvantages: None Really, More weapons and abilities perhaps?

...Modern Warfare 2 Sound & Graphics The sound of the guns on this game seem to get more and more realistic, and also your player online talks when reloading or planting claymores, throwing frags etc, car explosions RPG's Grenade Launchers. Very Realistic Sounds. The Call of Duty Franchise has always been good for graphics, RPG Smoke Trails, Giant Explosions, Muzzle flash, Weather Effects, Wall Marks (bullet Holes and scars) You Can play through a level seeing dead bodies and c4 packs flashing around. Difficulty Well the game is pretty simple on recruit and the one above i cant remember, but if you play on hardened or veteran expect a great challenge ahead of you. It is pretty much a 3 bullet kill on hardened and 2 on veteran. The A.I is very difficult to get past, and this can make the game longer and a much more challenging game...

Review of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)

COD4

Advantages: Graphics, Online, Storyline
Disadvantages: Co-op

...Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of the most best selling games of all time. It boasts amazing graphics and brilliant a brilliant story line. From the first mission it engages you into all of the action. It has made a brilliant step up, from the previous WW2 versions. The story mode is a little short, but never worry! because, if you want a challenge, try it on Veteran. Going online, and showing your skills is very fun, and is extremely hard to stop playing. The game gives you plenty of different game modes online and lets you show your ability with different ranks. Despite having most things perfect, there are no online achievements, which does not bother me to be honest. What the game could have next time to improve would be a online co-op player mode. This would enhance the game a lot, engaging yourself with people around...
