France starts reporting 'millions' of file-sharers This week the controversial French three-strikes anti-piracy law Hadopi went live. Copyright holders are currently in the process of sending out tens of thousands of IP-addresses of alleged infringers to Internet service providers, and this will increase to over a million in a few weeks. The ISPs have to hand over the identities of the associated accounts to the authorities within a week, or face a fine of 1500 euros per unidentified IP-address. TorrentFreak

Oracle may buy a semiconductor company with technology for servers, said Doug Freedman, an analyst at Gleacher & Co. in San Francisco. Potential targets include AMD, International Business Machines Corp.'s chip division and Nvidia Corp., he said.
“You've got to think it's focused on enterprise hardware, on the server,” he said. “AMD jumps off the screen.”
This Mr Freedman is aware that AMD's x86 license is non-transferrable..right? So a theoretical buyout of AMD would be for some IP and it's graphics division. Likewise an nvidia takeover on the basis of acquiring Tesla GPGPU and CUDA seens a little far fetched. And as IBM's chip business is more or less a direct competitor to Oracle's SPARC T3 (8 core/128 thread) CPU..I'd have to say good luck with that...say Hi to the SEC and FTC from me when they meet up.
Surely Fujitsu would be the logical acquisition.
AMD and Nvidia shares rose in early trading todayNo doubt Mr Freedman's previous investments are now paying dividends....

Duke Nukem 3D should not be run in Dosbox, there exists a native port of it for Win32 after 3DRealms released the source code, it's called JonoF's Duke Nukem 3D Port.
It will give much better performance than Dosbox...

There exists ports for other architectures aswell, like the Symbian OS used on Nokia Phones, I love playing Duke3D on my Nokia N82

Dosbox is way wrong for playing Duke 3d. eduke32 is the best way if you have a good machine, as you can use the hi-res texture pack with it and make the game look quite good (appox. 2002 gfx with better lighting/shading and hi-res.) There is even a DX10 hi res pack coming, and it looks quite awesome.
