Dragon Nest: The lag plague


I'm sure as a lot of DN player's have experienced when they're trying to PvP, there is a lot of crazy lag, sometimes it's actually so un-playable that it's not even funny, I do wish I figured out there was a in-game record function before writing this.

Rumor: AMD Working with TSMC for Bulldozer Manufacturing

Posted: 16 Oct 2011 11:48 AM PDT

BulldozerWhen AMD spun off its manufacturing arm as GlobalFoundries back in 2009, it was assumed their controlling interest would drive the bulk of its investments in the same direction. AMD has been forced to use TSMC, a rival to GlobalFoundries in recent years to keep pace in the graphics card wars, however new rumors are suggesting Bulldozer might be forced to shift over as well.

The move would be a strong indication of issues with GlobalFoundries 32 nm HKMG node, and doesn't bode well for GlobalFoundries as an independent chip maker if the two companies can't maintain a strong partnership. It's possible AMD is working with GlobalFoundries to gear up for Bulldozer's APU successor code named "Piledriver", but since current APU's already come from TSMC it's anyone's guess at this point.

Pirate Bay Co-Founder Gottfrid Svartholm Gets Jail Time and a $1.1 Million Fine

Posted: 16 Oct 2011 11:18 AM PDT

Gottfrid SvartholmA Stockholm District Court has handed down its sentence against Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm, and he'll be spared the whip, but little else. Assuming he ever turns up, he'll be forced to serve a one year jail sentence and pony up a cool $1.1 million to pay off his debt to society. Svartholm's fate was decided separately from his fellow Pirate Bay crew as a result of medical complications that prevented him from attending the original trial; however, these same complications prevented him from attending the new proceedings as well. As if being sentenced to a prison term without being present wasn't bizarre enough, Svartholm's lawyer admits he has no clue where is client is, or even if he is dead or alive.

In an interview with TorrentFreak, Peter Sunde, one of the three remaining defendants, claims he is appalled with how the court handled the case. "I think it's kind of strange putting a guy into jail because he's too sick to appear in court," Sunde says. "Also, nobody is in contact with him, for all we know he might be dead since no-one can reach him." "This is actually a really bizarre step from the Swedish court – he's found guilty because he can't defend himself. Way to go, democracy. It will be interesting to see how they will actually try to find him and put him into jail. If he's not alive – will they put his gravestone into a jail cell for a year?" 

Svartholm's failure to appear before the courts also means he is no longer entitled to appeal the sentence, and he has been ordered by the courts to turn himself over to the authorities. What do you make of the case?

Microsoft Launches New Browser Security Test; Declares Themselves the Winners

Posted: 16 Oct 2011 09:15 AM PDT

BrowsersEarlier in the week Microsoft unveiled a new online security test to help educate users on the dangers of surfing with outdated browsers. The concept is noble, but they also succeeded in stirring up the Mozilla folks, and with just cause. The site yourbrowsermatters.org gives visitors the impression it is verifying features to assign a well-researched security score between 0-4, when in reality, it does little more than check the agent string to see what brand and version you are using. Internet Explorer 9 rakes in a perfect score of 4, IE 8 comes in at 3, and the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome come up at 2 & 2.5 respectively. 

Mozilla has so far been the most vocal opponent of the site, and sounded off during an interview with Computerworld. "Mozilla is fiercely proud of our long track record of leadership on security," Johnathan Nightingale, the company's director of Firefox engineering, said in an email. "We believe that being safe on the Web means having a robust browser that defends against malware and phishing, includes new technologies to help sites and users secure themselves, and a responsive security team that gets security updates out quickly and reliably. Nightingale knocked the test, saying, "[It] is more notable for the things it fails to include," then cited three examples of criteria it lacks: HSTS, Do Not Track and patch response time.

Educating consumers with regards to online security is admirable, but it's hard to argue that Microsoft isn't a bit biased here. To further prove out the absurdity of the site in its current implementation, using the iPad's Atomic browser I was told "they didn't have enough info" to assign a score, but when I changed the identify to "Internet Explorer 9" in the settings menu, I was given a perfect score.

Should numerical rankings be left to third parties? Or is Microsoft within its rights to pronounce Internet Explorer 9 the most secure browser in town? I imagine a few Linux users might have a thing or two to say on this one.
