- Valve to take legal action against cheating - Valve software
has actually
started taking legal action against cheating. Gabe Newell speaks: "We've
started taking legal action against cheating (cheat-sites, cheat creators,...)
both in the US and abroad. This is in addition to the on-going investments in
anti-cheating technology. You'll see reports of this percolating up as various
actions happens." The German hoster of OGCNetwork, known for it's infamous OGC
client-hook, has already taken down the main OGC site after receiving an
action for injunction. As Counter-Hack reported, several other large cheat
websites have already gone offline as well. Whether this is a result of
similar legal actions or simply fear is unknown. Either way, this is good news
for all Valve's online gamers.
- U.S. Recording Industry Sues 482 More People - A U.S. music
industry trade group on Tuesday said
it has sued 482 more people for copyright infringement in a continuation
of its anti-piracy campaign. Including the latest suits, the Recording
Industry Association of America has now sued 3,429 individuals since last
September as it seeks to discourage music fans from copying and trading songs
through peer-to-peer networks like Kazaa and LimeWire.
- MasterCard to combat phishing and ID theft - MasterCard
International is working with digital fraud detection company NameProtect to
"aggressively
combat" phishing and the brokering of illegally obtained credit card
numbers online. Rather than reacting to online fraud and identity theft after
it has occurred, MasterCard said it would use NameProtect's technology to
detect online scams in real time as they proliferate across the internet.
- LayerOne Hacking Exposed - You are more exposed to data theft than
you probably already know, but you can also do something about it. That is the
message from
the LayerOne conference held in L.A. last week attended by over 100
computer security professionals, federal agents and hackers. There were also
some great wrestling matches to be had...
- Spamassassin Beats CRM-114 In Anti-Spam Shootout - A
new study of antispam software shows that
Spamassassin
performed well in various configurations along with
Spamprobe ,
Bogofilter and
Spambayes also came out good
while CRM-114 failed to live
up to its previous claims
(thanks Slashdot.org)
- Off-topic: NASA Eyes Cash Prizes of Its Own - Within hours of the
first private flight to outer space Monday, a NASA official said the agency
might
offer millions of dollars in prizes to encourage commercial missions to
orbit the Earth or land on the moon. Michael Lembeck of NASA's office of
exploration systems said such prizes would go to private explorers for such
landmarks as "the first soft landing on the moon, or for returning a piece of
an asteroid to Earth."
- Off-topic: Electric Warship Heralds Evolution in Weapon Technologies -
When the U.S. Navy’s first integrated power system (IPS)/electric drive
warship arrives in 2011 as the DD(X), the service will mark a
technological breakthrough that not only signals a new era for naval
engineering, but provides huge amounts of electrical power for uses once
considered fanciful, such as free electron lasers, high-powered microwaves and
electromagnetic rail guns.
- Off-topic: Clinton book mania explodes on the Web - Just hours
after former U.S. president Bill Clinton finished a first round of
book-signings for his new memoir, published Tuesday,
autographed copies were selling on eBay for $250 and more. Some of those
copies hadn't even been signed yet. One St. Paul, Minn., seller named Jason
Gabbert, an eBay regular and longtime Clinton fan, promised that his family
and he had tickets to next week's Los Angeles book signing and were guaranteed
a few autographed copies to sell.
- Microsoft poo-poos Xbox 2 backwards compatibility 'fiction' -
Microsoft today slammed claims that Xbox 2 will not play Xbox games as
"irresponsible... pulp fiction".
The statement, published by web site Team Xbox, a site that's done as much
speculating on Xbox 2's specifications as anyone else has, notes that:
"Microsoft hasn't made any announcements regarding the next generation, so
it's far too early to speculate about specifics, including backward
compatibility."
- US Army plans US Army II - One of the latest players in the
software games market
is
planning a new release. According to Wired the America's Army Government
Applications office has opened a software design studio with a team of 15
video-game creators, simulation specialists and ex-Army personnel to expand
their software writing efforts.
- Philips Launches World's Fastest DVD Burner - Philips Electronics
has launched
the world's first 16-speed DVD writer, which can burn a disc in less than
six minutes, the Dutch group said on Tuesday. Philips said it planned to
produce 600,000 of the devices every month. Computer makers will pay between
80 and 90 euros ($97-$109) per DVD writer when buying in large quantities,
while consumers will have to pay around 180 euros.
- Sharp intros 400GB DVD recorder - Japanese firm Sharp said it will
start selling a range of DVD recorders from July, one of
which will
have a 400GB hard drive. The firm is introducing five models altogether
over the next few months, with its DVHR450 and DVHR400 going on sale in
August.
- AMD reveals Opteron crash bugs -
AMD has pledged to fix three bugs in its Opteron chips that, if
unremedied, could cause host systems to crash in certain circumstances. In a
June 2004 Opteron and
Athlon 64 Revision Guide (PDF), the chip maker lists three processor
glitches - known in the trade as 'errata' - that could mean the "system may
hang". A misaligned 128-bit store could cause "processor deadlock" when "a
128-bit store operation (MOVUPS, MOVUPD, MOVDQU) occurs to a cacheable memory
type. The store is misaligned across two cache lines such that the upper eight
bytes span a cache line boundary. The store has retired but not yet written
the data cache. The store is followed by two other load or store operations to
the same cache index as the second half of the misaligned store (ie. bits 11:6
are the same)."
- Intel Prescott 3.6GHz CPU Review - The fastest 90nm Pentium 4
processor to date uses the new LGA775 socket format exclusively. ExtremeTech
benchmarked the 3.6GHz model 560 and compare it against other Intel CPUs and
the latest Athlon 64 offering.
Has Prescott improved enough to be king of the hill?
- Intel's 925X & LGA-775: Are Prescott 3.6 and PCI Express Graphics any
Faster? - So, the launch of the 925X and 915 has come and gone, with very
little excitement from the community in regards to platform performance - but
are there any other diamonds in the rough to be discovered? Alongside the
LGA-775 socket interface, Intel gave Prescott a bit of a speed bump - taking
it up to 3.6GHz, making it the highest clocked Intel processor available
today.
This article will be taking a look at the extra 200MHz and how it changes,
if at all, the Prescott factor.
- AirMagnet Surveyor review - In a nutshell, Surveyor takes
AirMagnet's WLAN scanning engine and marries it to an interactive display
tool. The display tool is actually the back-end for a data-cruncher that takes
the RF and location information gathered during a survey walk-around and
transmogrifies them into visual maps of the WLAN signal profile in the survey
area.
