schestowitzAccording to the FBI information, the DNS hijack bot also had code to guess passwords to NAT boxes by using default passwords but that's not a proper hijack and it's That too could be used to misdirect people at coffee shops and what not.

DaemonFCfrom two sources, I figured that Catalyst 11.11 will support X.org server 1.11 (meaning Fedora 16)Nov 12 07:57
DaemonFCwill support OpenGL 4.2Nov 12 07:57
DaemonFCand will be out next weekNov 12 07:57
DaemonFCthey also worked on their cross platform OpenGL driver to squeeze some more performance out of it (because of RAGE on Windows)Nov 12 07:57
DaemonFCthis probably also means they had to fix some bugs this month, because RAGE is literally using every OpenGL 4.x feature there isNov 12 07:58
DaemonFCIt makes so much sense that RAGE is targeting OpenGL 4.2 on Windows if you think about the clusterfuck situation Microsoft has made regarding DirectXNov 12 07:59
DaemonFCXP won't run DirectX 10/11, but it will run OpenGL 4.2 if your video driver has an ICD for itNov 12 07:59
DaemonFCVista won't run DirectX 11 without a massive Platform Update (which is almost a GB to download and takes over an hour to install)Nov 12 08:00
DaemonFCAnd as with most Microsoft updates of that magnitude, a significant number of Vista users claim their system failed to restart after that and they lost everythingNov 12 08:00
DaemonFCand Windows 7, which supports DirectX 11, is on about ~20% of Windows desktop computersNov 12 08:01
DaemonFCso unless they want nearly 80% of Windows users definitely unable or probably unable to run RAGE, they target OpenGL, if they want modern graphics API featuresNov 12 08:01

DaemonFCyou can take 800 mg of the otc stuff and it's the exact same as a prescription doseNov 12 19:29
DaemonFCbut you shouldn't make it a habitNov 12 19:30
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[glynmoody/@glynmoody] hmmm...Nov 12 19:31
