But snubs 10GBase-T as too little, too late.Stephen Garrison, Force10's marketing VP, said part of the problem for 10Gig is that the upgrade steps are too big. In particular, buyers of chassis switches don't want an eight-port 10Gig linecard taking up a whole switch slot when they don't yet have uses for that many 10Gig ports.
So Force10 has developed a mixed-media linecard for its C-series resilient switches...

LibRaw is a library for reading RAW files obtained
from digital photo cameras (CRW/CR2, NEF, RAF,
DNG, and others). LibRaw is based on the source
codes of the dcraw utility, though some of the
drawbacks of dcraw have been eliminated. The users
of the library are provided with an API to be used
when writing their software programs.
License: GNU General Public License v2
Changes:
Calls for 3-component RGB-bitmap output. Gamma-corrected 16-bit output. Input/output ICC profiles via the LCMS library. Bad pixels map support (similar to dcraw). Dark frame subtraction (similar to dcraw). A bug in adjust_sizes_info_only() has been fixed. An API to list supported cameras. Callback calls for progress indication and fast processing termination. OpenMP support on Unix (gcc) systems. An up to 30% speedup on 2-core machines.

Sometimes the rumors prove true. As whispered about for months now and tipped pretty much everywhere the past few weeks,
Led Zeppelin have confirmed that they will indeed reform for a single performance in tribute to Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, who
passed away late last year.
The surviving members of the Zep-- Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones-- have enlisted drummer Jason Bonham (son of John, who died in 1980) for one big gig at London's O2 Arena on November 26. They'll be joined by the Who's Pete Townshend, one-time Rolling Stone Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings, Foreigner, and-- in wayyyy over his head-- Paolo Nutini.
Proceeds from ticket sales go to the
Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, an organization that awards scholarships.
Led Zeppelin were a flagship act on Ertegun's Atlantic label. Said Plant in a press release, "During the Zeppelin years, Ahmet Ertegun was a major foundation of solidarity and accord. For us he WAS Atlantic Records and remained a close friend and conspirator-- this performance stands alone as our tribute to the work and the life of our long standing friend."
This isn't the first Zep reunion with Jason. The four also performed at an Atlantic Records anniversary event back in 1988.
As previously reported, Led Zeppelin have another best-of,
Mothership, due November 13, while the soundtrack CD and DVD of
The Song Remains the Same lands November 20.

UCommon is a lightweight C++ library to facilitate
using C++ design patterns even for very deeply
embedded applications, such as for systems using
uClibc along with POSIX threading support. For
this reason, UCommon disables language features
that consume memory or introduce runtime overhead.
UCommon introduces some design patterns from
Objective-C, such as reference counted objects,
memory pools, and smart pointers. UCommon
introduces some new concepts for handling of
thread locking and synchronization.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds documentation for core library
concepts, use of
doxygen for library documentation, and new thread
synchronization
objects, including rexlock and condlock types.
Some classes have been
re-rationalized for clarity and simplicity,
including the cidr class and
socket/address classes.
Russ Meyer – All throughout, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls exudes unrestrained delight at its own existence. Watching it is like having Meyer right next to you bouncing in his chair, saying “Man, did we hit the big time! Look at this! Look at this! What a film! Amazing!” There are a lot of marijuana cigarettes – reefers – smoked in this film, but watching a movie this charmingly hyperactive makes you wonder if you took some sort of stimulant instead.

We
saw Sony's new
BDP-S500 Blu-ray player at
IFA last week, but just in case you felt like dropping more than $700 to get into the high-def media game, Sir Howie's got you covered with the
ES model, the BDP-S2000ES. You'll be getting everything in the S500, including HDMI 1.3, 1080p/60 and 24p output , x.v.Color, 7.1-channel Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD and DTS-HD1, as well as separate audio / video boards to minimize interference, and a "rigid drive bracket" to minimize vibrations. The S2000ES should be hitting stores soon for $1300 -- that must be quite the drive bracket.

With the premiere of The Office less than a month away, I doubt I?m alone in feeling the urge to jump for joy at the thought of the hour-long episodes we?re going to get in the first few weeks of the season. For those of you who aren?t good at math, that?s a whole extra half-hour of Office per week!

Gamasutra: We're getting a few years into the Xbox 360 lifespan experience; where do you think we are, technologically, in terms of the potential of the system, this generation?
* Rod Fergusson: That's a good question. I mean, I'm not the technical guy, so my ability to speak to where the engine goes is -- all I know is that with the two to three more years of optimization that we've had, we're much further along than I think, three years ago, we thought we were going to get.
So I think we're certainly approaching the upper end of it, as far as what developers are able to do with it, but just looking at all the demos we saw today -- ours and others -- it's clear that all the games just keep improving, and keep pushing that bar.
I think it's just a matter of, you know, it's a slow cycle; you only get a kick at it every couple years, and so it takes a while for people to see that progress. There will be games in development that won't ship until 2010, and I'm sure they'll look killer, just because, again, they'll have more time with it, and learn from mistakes and optimizations of others. So, I don't know; I think we're getting up there, but I still think there's room to grow.

Electronic Arts announced today that Need for Speed ProStreet, the latest version of the blockbuster franchise, will hit stores in North America on October 31 and across Europe on November 1, 2007. In Need for Speed ProStreet, you have to build the ultimate battle machine, take it to multi-disciplinary showdowns and pit your skills and reputation against the world?s best street racers.
A version of Pac-Man that administers electric shocks to gamers has been shedding light on how the human brain reacts to danger. Researchers at the Wellcome Trust Center for Neuroimaging at UCL found that the closer the gamers got to danger, the more impulsive was their response. "In effect, the less free will you will have," explained the study leader, Dean Mobbs.
Volunteers were asked to try and outrun a virtual predator who was stalking them round a maze. If he caught up with them, Bzzzzzt! they were given a shock to the hand.
If the ghostie was far away, players used the prefrontal cortex region of the brain, which deals with complex planning tasks. If the ghostie got up close and personal with Pac-Man, brain activity shifted to the periaqueductal gray, a more primitive area which governs quick-response survival mechanisms, such as fight, flight or freeze.
The research will be used to help scientists better understand anxiety disorders, such as panic attacks. [Guardian Unlimited]
