Machinima Invade Hollywood's Turf?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/10/0450236
Thanks to Wired News for posting an article [0]discussing the rise of machinima, which are "animated movies.. utilizing the [real-time] 3-D graphics engines of games like Quake or Unreal." The article cites prominent machinima such as Jake Hughes' [1]Anachronox: The Movie and the [2]machinima-created music video for Zero 7's 'In The Waiting Line', and according to Bill Rehbock of Nvidia, "..machinima methods, in addition to providing a hobby for aspiring filmmakers, are starting to be used in the creative industries far more than is apparent. For example, George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic is using the Unreal engine to storyboard Star Wars movies." There's also a significant cash prize for machinima makers as part of Epic's [3]Make Something Unreal competition we [4]mentioned a few weeks back. Links

Restrictive Sales Practices on the Web?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/10/0215211
[0]Ed Almos asks: "I don't know about other Slashdot readers, who
happen to live outside the US, but I'm in Hungary, and am finding it
more and more difficult to purchase goods and services over the web.
The sites are there, the money is in my account, but the sites won't
sell me anything! Can someone come up with a logical reason for these
policies? Last time I checked I was using the WORLD Wide Web, and there
seems little point wasting bandwidth to post your website to the world
when only those living in the USA can buy and/or use the product. Then
again, is this yet another example of the Internet and the rest of the
world becoming more and more centered on the continental USA? The final
irony? I'm originally from Maine. These folk won't even sell to one of
their own!"

Russians Order Mobile Phone Encryption Removed http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/10/0036232
[0]PenguinRadio writes "The Moscow Times is reporting that Russian
security officers (The FSB, formerly the KGB) [1]ordered all mobile
phone providers to switch off their encryption systems for 24 hours, so
the police could eavesdrop on all calls. An alert, either an
exclamation point or an unlocked padlock, was sent to the phones in
question. This is the second time such an order was given - the last
time was after the hostage crisis involving Chechnya fighters in a
Moscow theater. At least the Russian has the courtesy to warn all their
phone users that this was going on. Not sure what the standard FBI
procedure is on something like this..."

Those Amazing Antigravity Machines?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/09/2256210
[0]surfimp writes "Wired is running an [1]interesting article about
'lifters', hovering UFO-looking vehicles that have no moving parts, no
onboard power supply, and are capable of levitating simply through the
application of high amounts of electrical current. Enthusiasts claim
their vehicles are examples of a nascent antigravity technology, while
more traditional scientists - including some funded by NASA - view them
as nothing more than contraptions harnessing ionic winds."

Switch On For Powered Data Networks
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/09/2220256
ReLik writes "The BBC has an article regarding [0]power supply via networks. 'Instead of needing adapters, computer networks could soon be supplying the devices they interconnect with both data and power. Some makers of network equipment are already putting the power via data cable system into their products. The basic plugs for computer networks are the same all over the world, raising the possibility that powered data cables could become a universal back-up power supply.'"

VIA Introduces A New Laptop Motherboard
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/09/1955239
arrasmith writes "It looks like there is going to be an upgrade to that
non-expensive [0]$800 Linux laptop. VIA just came out with a [1]new
laptop motherboard based on the faster Nehemiah core for the C3. You
can get all the specs at the [2]Antaur homepage. If they stay near the
$800 cost I can see this one selling pretty well. And they would have a
great mobile media system if they added a hardware DivX decoder on top
of the hardware DVD decoder. :) And now that the Linux [3]drivers are
starting to mature and the [4]sources are finally starting to come out,
by the time this is released to the U.S. market it should be a great
little Linux laptop."

[1]Webcaster Alliance is [2]threatening to sue the RIAA under the
Sherman Antitrust Act. In their [3]letter to the RIAA, the Webcaster
Alliance alleges that the RIAA and the [4]Voice of Webcasters
negotiated in collusion and, 'were apparently intent on either
eliminating their competitors and/or raising barriers to entry in the

RIAA also wanted to eliminate smaller webcasters, who tend to play more

FreeBSD 5.1 Review and BSD Roundup

[2]ExtremeTech's BSD overview and roundup ([3]single page) will be of
interest to BSDers and anyone else who wants to explore their open
source OS options. The review of [4]FreeBSD 5.1 says it lacks the
stability of v4.8 but adds features that some may find useful (for
example, more processor architectures are supported) so it shouldn't be
considered for critical deployments yet. And the BSD round-up speaks
for itself."
