Theorizing how she could have been 'outed'
* She took steps from separating her 'real' life from 'work' life', but did she do the same to seperate her 'work' life from her 'real' life? Did she conceal her real identity from her workers? Does she avoid being photographed on smart devices? All it takes is for them to mention her real name in their 'work' social media or to tag her on a photograph for Facebook to make the connection.
* Does she avoid posting self-photographs on her 'real' life Facebook page? Facebook's photo recognition could be sophisticated enough to correlate her photos with any photos her 'workers' may have snapped and uploaded, along with location & timestamps to make the connection.
* Does she keep seperate smart mobile devices an/or turn off personal info collection like GPS? If she has location tracking turned on for her 'real' life smart device, then facebook can correlate that she frequents places, establishments, and timestamps and notice that she's often at the same places & times as her co-workers and that she may know them.
Lots of FUD here. Snowden's response only removes duplicates. If all 33k known emails were found & removed, the FBI would still have to sift 617k emails to look for secret/classified/confidential info.
Its nice that finally someone has used this kind of technique in a game, but unless Carmack gives more detail, things like this has been done before.
ex. SGI's clipmapping technique
Hmmm... If I read this right, it looks like the motherboard that came w/ the memory had its voltage increased to induce higher speeds. This would skew any test - not just overclocking, unless you knew to reset it.
From what was spoken at the SIGGRAPH OpenGL BOF, heres the news. Any OpenGL driver, default or native WILL be written as a layer over DirectX. The vendors reluctantly acknowledge this (nVidia, ATI, 3DLabs). Apparently Microsoft has provided no other ways for applications to transfer graphics commands through the hardware abstraction layer to the drivers.
As for those who posted that "most of the work is done in the card, not the api" hasn't written any serious OpenGL programs. Its a holy grail to write such an app, but in reality this isnt the case. True - the graphics card does alot of work, but its all the low level stuff - rasterizing, clipping, transformations, but every time you change a texture, change a geometry object, change the model matrix, etc, you access the API and use it to transfer data from application memory to video memory. By forcing the programmers to do this through a wrapper pretty much halves the data transfer rate.
The vendors also stressed that this may not be locked in stone - Vista still has one more beta release. Users, programmers, vendors can petition Microsoft to change their minds by letting them know how this will affect them and their willingness to switch to Vista.
Thanx:)

Thank god its April Fools: I can see it now:
Microsoft jumps on the bandwagon - Its not our software/OS - it was the OP client!
Some script kiddie in Timbucktoo decides to release a VB hack that infects everyones computer that tricks the OP client to blow up at the same time.
It maybe April Fools, but Im going to start wearing my bullet proof vest and welding mask...

More likely the connection was made via your address/location and/or IP address for the place you were renting from.
