  • Justice Dept. sweeps suspected "warez" groups - The U.S. Department of Justice said Thursday that it conducted an international sweep of suspected online copyright pirates. Dubbed "Operation Fastlink," the sweep consisted of 120 searches in 27 states and 10 countries. Officials seized 200 computers, 30 of which were alleged to have been used as storage and distribution servers, containing thousands of copyrighted works, including newly released movies and music. Another article can be found at Reuters, TheRegister
  • Cyber-cops arrest trio in piracy crackdown - The raids took place late last night as part of Operation Fastlink, which also saw raids in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, the Netherlands, Singapore and Sweden. A 30-year-old from Belfast, a 34-year-old from Manchester and a 22-year-old from Sheffield were arrested and officers from the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit seized cracked software from all types of media, as well as seven computers and more than 100 CD copiers.
  • Spamhaus breaches great firewall of China - Anti-spam organisation Spamhaus is taking its crusade to China following an invitation from the Chinese government. After the US, more spam is sent from China than any other country, and Spamhaus hopes to persuade the Chinese authorities to implement effective anti-spam legislation and technologies.
  • Instantly stop illegal P2P with PacketHound 3 - Palisade Systems announced the release of PacketHound 3.0, its network application management appliance. The newest version of PacketHound detects and stops the illegal sharing of copyrighted materials using peer-to-peer (P2P) and other applications including instant messaging, e-mail, and FTP. PacketHound’s ability to detect and stop copyrighted materials from being shared illegally eliminates serious liability issues associated with all file-sharing applications.
  • Entangled photons secure money transfer - An electronic money transaction has been carried out in at a bank in Austria using entangled photons to create an unbreakable communications code. Although commercial quantum cryptography products already exist, none of these use entangled photons to guarantee secure communications. The link was used to transfer money between Vienna City Hall and Bank Austria Creditanstalt on Wednesday. The cryptographic system was developed by Anton Zeilinger and colleagues from the University of Vienna and the Austrian company ARC Seibersdorf Research. Entangled photons obey the strange principles of quantum physics, whereby disturbing the state of one will instantly disturb the other, no matter how much distance there is in between them.
  • Legislator seeks to block Gmail - Blasting Gmail as a horrific intrusion into Internet users' privacy, a California state senator has introduced legislation to block Google's free e-mail service. State Sen. Liz Figueroa, a Democrat from the Bay Area city of Fremont, said Thursday that it should be illegal for a company to scan the text of its customers' e-mail correspondence and display relevant advertising--even if customers explicitly agree to the practice in exchange for a gigabyte of storage.
  • Exploit found for Net flaw, but risks remote - The vulnerability primarily affects routers and other devices that handle traffic on the Internet. Discovered by Paul Watson, a security specialist for industry automation company Rockwell Automation, the weakness could allow a knowledgeable attacker to shut down connections between routers--if left unchecked.
  • Arbitrary file overwriting in Unreal engine through UMOD - The UMOD file format is a simple archive that contains all the files to install plus a manifest.ini file read by the UMOD installer and used to know some informations as the author of the mod, the description, the needed minimum game version and more. Using the classical ".." pattern in the filename and in its name into the manifest.ini file an attacker is able to go outside the game's directory and to overwrite ANY file in the partition on which the game is installed, without alerts or messages from the installer. (download exploit)
  • Disable PCT 1.0, SSL 2.0, or SSL 3.0 on IIS - When you use HTTPS to connect to Internet Information Server (IIS) versions 3.0 and later, or Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 and later, the client and browser will negotiate a common protocol to secure the channel. In cases where the server and client have multiple protocols in common, Microsoft Internet Information Server will attempt to secure the channel with one of the protocols it supports using the following order of preference: PCT 1.0, SSL 3.0, and then SSL 2.0. In some instances, it may be desirable to disable one or more of these protocols. This can be accomplished through changes to the registry.
  • Hard disk "speed limit" discovered  - An upper speed limit for writing magnetic information to a computer's hard drive has been discovered by physicists. In order to work out the speed barrier, the researchers used a 3.2-kilometre-long particle accelerator to fire a tightly packed bunch of electrons at magnetic material. They found that the limit was about 1000 times slower than previously thought, but say there may be ways to get around it in order to make hard drives even more efficient.
  • Factory Testing of Airborne Laser Cannon Completed - Lockheed Martin has completed factory testing of the optical benches for the Airborne Laser's Beam Control/Fire Control (BC/FC) system. The Airborne Laser (ABL) is the first megawatt-class laser weapon system to be carried on a specially configured 747-400F aircraft, designed to autonomously detect, track and destroy hostile ballistic missiles." (thanks Slashdot.org)
  • ATI R420 slips from April to May - ATI is unlikely to release its next-generation R420 chip until May and not 26 April, as previously thought, The Register has learned. But to lighten the burden of waiting a week or so, pictures of the part have already begun to surface on the Web.
  • Notebook Storage Hits 100GB - Toshiba has developed a hard drive for notebook computers that can hold 100GB of data. The company expects to begin selling it later this year, it says. The new hard drive offers a quarter more storage space than the company's current highest capacity notebook drive and is the first 2.5-inch drive from any manufacturer to store 100GB, according to Toshiba.
  • Samsung introduces 8x dual format DVD writer - The new burner has the model name SH-W08A and it looks to be near identical with Toshiba's SD-R5272.
  • Library without books - The ebook reader (the Librie EBR-1000EP) launches in Japan on Saturday. Whisper it quietly, but first impressions of the Y41,790 (L220) Librie are that it looks a little dowdy. Its grey plastic case is vaguely reminiscent of an old-school PDA, albeit a slim one. Any disappointment vanishes the instant Ukita flips the power switch to bring his baby to life.
  • Hitachi 7K400 400GB Deskstar Hard Drive review - ExtremeTech has posted a Hitachi 7K400 400GB Deskstar Hard Drive review.

  • ATI Accuses Nvidia of Cheating - ATI says that CryTek's representative told it that what Nvidia showed us in Geneva was a 2.0/3.0 path versus 1.1 path. The key message is that Shader model 3.0 and 2.0 look exactly the same, the ATI representative added.
  • DX9 Gaming - Pixel Shader 3.0 and 32bit Precision - What's it all mean and who's right? - check it out!
  • Geforce 6800Ultra Forceware 60.72 Image Quality Investigation - The final issue is why have Futuremark stated that these drivers should be considered as approved? Its very clear to me that the 6800Ultra is not rendering the reference image as desired by 3Dmark, regardless of any performance impact and therefore isnt comparable to any other card. This in result is no different to the optimisations in previous drivers which Futuremark have frowned upon.
  • 174 Tips to a Better Windows Experience - PCMag has posted 68 Windows and 106 Microsoft Office tips.
  • Interactive painting guide v2.2 for AMD Thoroughbred and AMD Barton CPUs - OC-Inside have published an updated interactive overclocking/painting guide for AMD Thoroughbred and Barton core CPU's.
  • Nvidia Overclocking - CoolBits + other hidden features - NVIDIA has built several tools into their drivers that they don't want normal users to use. The overclocking tool is the most important one. Any of you wanting to overclock your Geforce should use this tool instead of anything like Powerstrip that you have to pay for.
  • Windows Media Player (All Versions) patch - After installation of Update for Windows Media Player Script Commands (KB828026), some URL script commands do not respond correctly. This package helps resolve the issue. In addition, it helps resolve an installer issue that could cause 100% CPU utilization in certain scenarios

I knew that PS3.0 vs PS2.0 screenshot didn't look right. I have Farcry with a PS2.0 card and the PS2.0 they showed was way off. Well, it wouldn't be the first time nVidia has cheated on something... :)

Tomposted - Apr, 23 2004 - 22:06
here we go, it's not enough we got ATI fanboys here crying about their cards being the best(when they aren't) now we got the actual ATI company crying..Please nVidia, kill them off completely.

FX5900posted - Apr, 24 2004 - 05:44
ATI are whiners. If they're not the claiming the crown (by .1 of a FPS in more instances) they are whining about nVidia. Such SORE-LOSERS. And they are about to get even sorer. :-)

GoldenBearposted - Apr, 24 2004 - 07:05
Ok, come on now. I can agree that nVidia has the crown as soon as they get the 6800 out. But lets be real here. nVidia tried to show off that PS3.0 is vastly better that PS2.0 by giving us a picture with PS3.0 on one side and PS1.1 on the other. How can you nVidia fanboys say that that's not the slightest bit odd/unfair. You know that the idiots out there who know nothing of tech will see that and buy nVidia's card just cuz of that. Ati has everyright to point out unfair play. And lets not forget the whole driver fiasco with Futuremark.... :)

FX6800Uposted - Apr, 24 2004 - 08:00
what fiasco with futuremark??? :-)

Billy Bobposted - Apr, 24 2004 - 11:28
Or Chris should learn some grammar and spelling lol...

FX5900posted - Apr, 24 2004 - 17:51
chris just typed fast because he has better things to do with his time... like play games on his nvidia card. :-)

GoldenBearposted - Apr, 24 2004 - 21:09
Seeing as how nvidia doesn't have their 6800 out yet, he must be playing them slowly...but to get back on topic, I would really like to see a side by side comparison of pixel shaders 2.0 vs 3.0....a real comparison though, not nvidia's version.... :)

satanposted - Apr, 25 2004 - 21:29
i would really like to see and end to all the sad geeks bumming each other while arguing over whose graphics card is better and ass kissing some company who couldnt give a fuck about them other than to take their money. somehow though, i cant see it happening. oh well...

Billy Bobposted - Apr, 25 2004 - 21:39
If Chris really wants his comments to be taken seriously, he could do us all a favor a check his atrocious grammar and spelling. I have an Nvidia card and he embarrasses me. :(

GoldenBearposted - Apr, 25 2004 - 22:59
satan, it's just a friendly argument...I'm sure a geek with the name satan, who posts on the comments section of a gaming website, could understand that.

satanposted - Apr, 26 2004 - 11:12
well when you find one called that, let me know and ill ask him
