Submission + - New server setups proving atypical of the internet

Submitted by
An anonymous reader writes: have you ever tried to relocate your own servers? i recently relocated my servers out of china to the states, one reason is the shifting internet laws such as what you can and cannot publish and the vague wording such as "media containing poses in a manner that could be sexual" and long delays for business in publishing sites (30day wait period to apply for the required government ICP license) then the forum license, both processes are a huge time consuming activity with 'authoritative' stages that can only be submitted from an IE browser, and, one account per domain! plus the new media distribution license requirements for anything that had moving pictures such as a flash movie or a movie.. as the story goes on, has anyone recently tried to setup a server and found that most emails will get rejected even though your ip addresses are clean, have PTR records for the reverse dns and so on? plenty of companies willing to sell you 'services' that deliver email to xxx sites. i thought i'd have a hard time 8 years ago with dirty Chinese ip addresses, but with US ip addresses its much worse! what steps have you taken and where is the best place to get a good reputation for new mail services?

i have to agree, safety is the least of their concern, much more work is done to get into a chinese datacenter unescorted than to pass security at the airports, but this is world wide not just America. security at the airports is for show, many times i've forgotten to empty my bag before flying and found out i've got a multipurpose screwdriver set and once i forgot to take my dive knife out of my carry on. and went through 2 international and one domestic airport.

Submission + - Intel Enter New HafniumTransistors Era with Penryn (techluver.com)

Tech.Luver writes: "Intel plans to roll out its newest generation of processors, Monday, flexing its manufacturing muscle with a sophisticated new process that crams up to 40 percent more transistors onto the Penryn chips. The world's largest semiconductor company expects to start shipping 16 new microprocessors — which also boast inventive new materials to stanch electricity loss — for use in servers and high-end gaming PCs . The chip maker will now use Hafnium in combination with a pair of secret metal oxides instead of silicon dioxide to craft the insulation layer of the gate that controls current. The tweaking of the materials counts as the most significant change to transistors in about forty years, according to Intel co-founder Gordon Moore. Fifteen of the new chips will run server computers, or systems that dish out data on corporate networks and the Internet, while one model is designed for personal computers.

Submission + - SPAM: Intel speeds past AMD -- for now -- with Penryn

Submitted by alphadogg
alphadogg writes: Intel on Sunday launched its long-awaited new line of power-efficient microprocessors, code-named Penryn, designed to deliver better graphics and application performance as well as virtualization capabilities. The processors, manufactured using a 45-nanometer process, feature smaller transistors and cut down on electricity leaks, which makes them faster and more power efficient than earlier 65-nm processors, Intel claims. AMD also has 45 nano chips in the works.

DragonFire1024 writes: "Spain to Chavez: 'Shut up' — During a summit of the Latin American nations on Saturday November 10, the King of Spain, Juan Carlos, told the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez to "shut up." The remarks quickly put an end to the meeting. "Why don't you shut up?," said King Carlos, interrupting a speech by Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero of Spain who was condemning words by Chavez who called the country's former P.M. a "fascist." The King was waving a finger at Chavez."

The spacecraft will deliver secure, high-bandwidth communications for UK and "friendly" forces across the globe." It's not yet the Skynet of Terminator, but how long before it becomes self aware :-)
It's funny. Laugh.

Submission + - The most politically incorrect games ever

Submitted by
The Bike Blog
The Bike Blog writes: "These are two of the most politically dangerous board games ever. In the first you play as either a superpower or terrorist organisation, and compete for world power. In the second you compete either as evolution or intelligent design. "This game didn't happen by accident," the creator said in a statement. "It was intelligently designed.""

First Wii Mod Chip Shipping Out 58

Posted by Zonk from the enjoy-your-indie-games-with-waggle dept.
Via Ars Technica's Opposable Thumbs blog, and their commentary on the device, a review of the first Wii mod chip at the MaxConsole site. The review offers step-by-step instructions for putting it in place, and then rates the resulting options opened up by the device. Most interestingly the chip is apparently updateable via a DVD, allowing for new functionality to be released for as time goes on. At $50 and with just a little soldering to get in place, the Wii CycloWhiz sounds like a great deal for anyone looking to do some outside-the-box thinking with Nintendo's console.

UK Propose Registering Screen Names with Police 282

Posted by samzenpus from the in-england-you-only-get-one-online-name dept.
Oxygen99 writes "In a series of kneejerk suggestions following this online rape plot, the UK Home Secretary, Dr John Reid has suggested that offenders on the Sex Offenders Register should register their online identities with the police. According to a home office spokesman this means that offenders, 'online identities would be treated in exactly the same way as their real name'. So, just how misguided is this and who's going to be the first to tell him?"
