ChanKast Might come to the Xbox:
A few days ago we reported about the Spanish Dreamcast / GP32 party "MadriDC" which took place on Saturday 26th in Madrid, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Lucky we catched a lot more information about what happend at the partyplace.
The most interesting act was the conference conducted by Unai, a member of Chankast team and responsable of the graphics core. He announced a new core in OpenGL to attempt a Linux port. Also the last alpha will be released very soon, and the next release would be a beta that will probably run fullspeed at 700Mhz and... there's a machine that runs at 600Mhz that can receive a port... (and that might the Xbox, sad for all us die-hard Dreamcast freaks).
Interesting.

I am a Bush supporter as of now but I think this is the one thing, perhaps the only event, that could chance my vote in this election. If Osama is capable of pulling off a major attack (read: 30+ people dead) inside the US it will seriously show how incompentant our leaders have been. It will prove we have misdirected our resources and gone the wrong route on the war on terror.
And this isn't like Spain where I change my vote because I'm scared of the terrorists and fear being attacked again. Al Qaeda is supposed to be on the run. They are supposed to be hiding in small villages, in caves, and not communicating because our spooks are listening in. I supported the war in Iraq but everyone knows Saddam went from a bulldog with big teeth on no leash in the 80s to a weiner dog trapped in a kennel in the late 90s. To think there are more policemen in NY then there are after the biggest threat to the US sounds crazy.
Hopefully its Tom Ridge FUD bullshit and nothing serious. I know he has done this too many times but when its getting near our election time and we know what happened in Spain. After seeing Spain, Turkey, Bali, and other countries hit you would think its about time for them to try to attack the lead country again. Okay, /rant

This is in response to people thinking that Doom 3 won't be released before September because of comments made by the organizers for QuakeCon, like this thread:
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=8114341
The director of the BYOC for quakecon recently said on /.: "The Doom3 tournament is played on QuakeCon supplied computers, and they'll be able to run Doom3 without any problem." http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=113583&cid=9622585
That + the quote from the press release for the Doom 3 tournament
"With DOOM 3 launching this summer, there won’t be anyone who has had time to practice or master the game, and almost any QuakeCon attendee has a chance to walk away with one of the exclusive DOOM 3 prizes."
=
So unfortunately, no, there will not be Doom 3 before Quakecon 2004. Otherwise people would have had time to "practice the game", which the press release says will not be happening before QCON.
So uhm, maybe it'll come during Quakecon? All we know so far officially from id is "Summer 2004"... that could put us into September :( Why god why!?

Like on the fourth of July I pulled a James Bond and got a Vodka Martini, but the martini glass they brought me was huge and entirely awkward to drink out of. Could I have just said, "Vodka Martini, shaken, not stirred, and in a normal glass?"
