Chapter 1231 NET
August 17, 1998.
On the eve of the first round of the second round of the full-score global tour, the final equipment debugging was underway in the gymnasium. With the sound of huge switch and electric doors, the stage lights kept changing, and several workers squatted on the edge of the stage to check the jet dry ice device.
Song Ya ran out of the backstage and looked around for a while. The beautiful girl in Earned It's song "Fallen from the Sky" is still retained, so he had to personally ask about the safety of the slings and he had already developed a habit.
“BOSS…”
Hayden called him in. A few hours ago, the commander of Arkansas had just finished his testimony in the grand jury. He once again denied having a relationship with White House intern Lewinsky, completely ending the ridiculous farce.
"Enough! I want to say... enough! It's time to end here! The House should immediately push for the closure of the Special Attorney's Office of the Whitewater Case... It's time!"
Donkey party politicians expressed their support, and Underwood also delivered an inspiring speech to Congress, "Nearly 80 million, Prosecutor Starr and his team have spent nearly 80 million yuan of public funds for all Americans. The taxpayers' money has been wasted on his boring and vulgar attacks and party disputes for several years!"
"Hahaha……"
Song Ya, Hayden and McLaren, the visiting 3DFX CEO, laughed after reading this news, "I've seen enough jokes in the UK, right? McLaren... Sir." This British man got the title of Knight Bachelor at the beginning of the year, and seemed to be the lowest-level lord. I don't understand, but he is also a lord.
Last year, Americans were crazy gossiping, conspiracy theories, and attacking the British royal family in various ways. This year, the feng shui of the United Kingdom was also very happy to eat the melons that were anecdotes of the White House.
"The technology industry still supports him and Vice-President Gore."
McLaurent is quite old-fashioned and has no comment on the gossip field. "APLUS, Sega's new generation game console Dreamcast will be launched at the end of the year. Our career will take another big step forward. This is all your credit. If you hadn't gone to Tokyo in person and convinced Mr. Akiichiro Irika..."
"It's been something of the past."
Song Ya smiled and waved her hand, and took the document he handed over. Sega's new game console, abbreviated as DC, just disclosed some technical details not long ago. The CPU uses Hitachi's SH4 and Yamaha XG sound card, and the display chip is equipped with 3DFX's Voodoo3. This is actually a special customized version of 3DFX for Sega's needs. It borrows the name of the next generation version of the Voodoo card.
Voodoo3's actual function is almost a little bit stronger than Voodoo2, the highest-end 3D display chip on the civil market, but it has made special optimizations for DC game consoles. McLaurent's original Videologic's 2D chip technology has been greatly updated, so the 2D improvement is even greater, barely keeping up with the mainstream level of 3DFX's 2D shortcomings.
The book strength of this configuration completely crushed Sony's PS game console. Affected by this positive news, the stock prices of 3DFX, Sega, NEC, Hitachi, Yamaha and other related companies have all risen sharply because Sony's PS2 looks like it has not yet been seen.
"Our Voodoo3 chips will be made locally by NEC."
McLaurent said: "In fact, the successor of Voodoo2's generation will be Voodoo4, which will be launched next year, and it depends on the situation of the competitive products on the market."
“OK, understand.”
3DFX has developed smoothly. As the industry leader, not only McLauren has won the title, but other technicians have also won the relevant technology awards. "What are the trio doing?" Song Ya asked.
The stocks owned by the trio were long past the ban period. After Song Ya drove the most noisy Ross out of the board, the other two were a little honest, but Ross had already spoken out more than once and tried to take the two old brothers away.
"The market value has been seen as 2 billion, so I should be reluctant to leave for the time being..."
McLaurent was also a little worried about this matter, "We still need the technical strength of the three of them at the moment, especially CTO Scott, who is nervously leading the development of Voodoo4 chips."
"Okay, I understand."
Song Ya touched her chin and planned to find an opportunity to differentiate the trio.
"boss……"
Hayden focused on changing the channel next to him, found what he wanted to see and gave a reminder.
‘No Electronic Theft!No Electronic Theft!’
The star protests organized by the Universal Instructed Universal also began as scheduled. At the Hollywood rally, Metallica lead singer Heitfield was leading the way, waving his fists and shouting slogans to the microphone.
No Electronic Theft was passed last year's ban on electronic theft, proposed by Virginia Elephant Rep. Goodrat, a Virginia Elephant Party, to set criminal penalties for emerging torts in the digital field, which made up for the previous so-called 'Lamachia loophole'.
In an early Lamachia case, although MIT student Lamachia himself distributed a large amount of infringement content, he did not obtain any benefits from the act itself, so the presiding judge believed that the criminal law at that time did not apply to non-commercial infringement, that is, Lamachia himself did not obtain any benefits from these infringements, so he acquitted.
The impact of this case is very bad. The infringer itself does not benefit, but arbitrarily distributing digital copyrights will cause a large amount of economic losses to the copyright owner. Therefore, a new law on prohibiting electronic theft came into being, which stipulates:
A product of one or multiple copyrighted works can be sentenced to copy or distribute within 180 days, including through any digital means, as long as the case value is more than 1,000 dollars, regardless of whether the infringer has obtained personal benefits from it.
Celebrities are wearing uniform white T-shirts and three large black letters ‘NET’ on the front chest. This is not the Internet, but the No Electronic Theft, the first letter of the bill forbidding electronic theft.
It seems that Global is not satisfied with the newly finalized Digital Millennium Law. It needs to be extended from the prohibition of electronic theft law, such as reducing the amount of conviction from a thousand dollars to the pricing of singles when Internet users share music? Then expanding the enforcement object to the website or the entire OSP?
The third generation of the rich is a bit like turning the table upside down and everyone doesn’t want to eat.
Global's rural queen, Shania Donn, is standing in front of the protesters, twisting and clapping her hands as she follows the music in the venue. She has a great influence on conservative white people...
Song Ya's mouth was filled with a tsk and her fingers ran over her eyebrows, "Isn't the Metal Band owned by Warner Records? Why are they so active?"
Is Time Warner going to change his previous ambiguous attitude? He was thinking randomly.
"There are many people responding to the entertainment industry, and Hollywood and the record industry are not good forbidding artists to participate in such activities that protect their own interests... Basically, there are people from various companies in Hollywood and the record industry."
Hayden explained: "And when Doug Morris was in charge of Warner Records, he gave the Metal band a very generous super fat appointment, and it's normal for them to pay off this time."
"We do not accept the Millennium Digital Law! Oppose! Oppose! Men on Capitol Hill, please listen to our voices! Use the power given to you by the people and vote against it!"
Metal band lead singer Heitfield shouted in his inciting rock voice: "No Electronic Theft! No Electronic Theft!"
"The protests are expected to last for some time until the House votes on the Digital Millennium Law," Hayden said.
