IBM announced Wednesday a new version of its financial controls compliance software designed for U.S. government agencies facing their own financial reporting regulations. The new version of IBM's Workplace for Business Controls and Reporting (WBCR) software is aimed at federal agencies that have to comply with financial controls regulations, similar to the Sarbanes-Oxley regulations for private companies passed by the U.S. Congress in 2002. White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations defining financial control responsibilities for government agencies take effect Oct. 1.
IBM sees demand for a government-focused financial controls compliance package, said Rebecca Buisan, market manager for IBM Workplace Solutions. IBM modified a new version of its Sarbanes-Oxley focused WBCR software to focus on the government market, she said. A June meeting on OMB financial controls compliance drew a standing-room only crowd of about 60 people from about 12 government agencies, Buisan said. "Federal agencies are going through a lot of effort to figure out how to handle this," she said.

Nexuiz is based on the Darkplaces engine. The darkplaces engine is an advanced Quake1 engine developed mainly by Forest "LordHavoc" Hale, who has been working with the Quake1 engine for many years. A few of Darkplaces main features are Quake3bsp support, realtime lighting and shadowing, new particle effects, advanced menu system, and Md3/Md2 model support. Because Nexuiz is based on the Quake1 engine, its source code along with its content is entirely GPL. Nexuiz will also use the Quake1 game code language, called QuakeC, which makes modding the gameplay of the game extremely easy. This gamecode will be included with the release, and will allow anyone to mod it, and because it is entirely serverside you can use it on your servers even if the clients do not have your mod.
Of course, we all know this won't stop waste and coruption.
That's what the media is for. (and by media I do not mean FOX News et al.)
