Wednesday reading - QuakeCon 2005 approaches - briefly
(hx) 03:09 PM CEST - Aug,10 2005 - Post a comment
Quakecon begins later this week, with lots of interesting things planned this year. There's Kyle's annual HardOCP workshop, tournaments galore with Real Cash Money prizes, footage screening from the upcoming DOOM feature film and finally the promised preview of Quake 4 multiplayer! To be honest, I don't have the money/time to attend QuakeCon. The US is just too far away (yeah I live in Czech republic) and the $1200 to Dallas is a lot of money to many people. Are any of you guys planning to be at Quakecon this year?

Here's some stuff:
  • Blu-ray backers announce DRM details - The Blu-ray Discs Association (BDA) has chosen the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to protect movies and music stored on the next-generation optical storage format. Indeed, Blu-ray's rival format, HD DVD, also incorporates AACS. However, the BDA has adopted two extra levels of security. The first is the so-called 'ROM Mark', which is intended to identify a given disc as genuine. Designed to defeat counterfeiters, the mark can only be stamped on discs by authorised mastering equipment. The second security strand is dubbed 'BD+' and is geared to hindering attempts to crack the encryption technology shielding the content. Essentially, it allows the BDA to update the encryption scheme should the current technique be cracked. If a coder comes up with the Blu-ray equivalent of DeCSS, the BDA simply updates the format's crypto engine on all future releases, limiting the volume of content that can be nabbed. BD+ also locks down players that have been tampered with to bypass the security system.
  • Man dies after online game marathon - South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said on Tuesday.
  • Tilt - New malt beverage - Anheuser-Busch, stepped into the booming market of caffeinated malt beverage drinks today with their nationwide rollout of "Tilt", a malt beverage featuring an assorted blend of caffeine, guarana, and ginseng. Tilt contains 6.6, 6, or 4 percent alcohol by volume based on state laws. It's rolling out on a state-by-state basis, with full distribution is expected by October.
  • What to do with spare CD's / DVD's - A simple spectrometer can be built from a CD and a box. Cut a slit on one side of the box. Place the CD on the other side with about 60 degree angle. Look down into the openning on the box. The slit should not be too wide, otherwise the spectrum lines will be blurred. It should not be too narrow either, otherwise the spectrum is too dim. I use a 0.2mm wide slit.
  • What's your personality type? - If you already know your personality type, or a friend's, you can read descriptions of the 16 personality types. If you want to take the test, read on
  • Pregnant Britney in Bikini  - Totally off-topic!
