So, at the C level, if you call NT functions like NtSetInformationFile, it will save them just fine. If you call Win32 functions like MoveFileEx, they will normally give you an error, but if you use the special \\?\ syntax to say "pass this name straight through to NT", it will work. And if you call MSVCRT functions like rename, you will get an error. Older versions of Python called rename, which would just give you an error. Newer versions call MoveFileEx, and will try to wrap the name up in \\?\ syntax (because that also allows you to get around some other stupid limitations, like the excessively short MAX_PATH value).
"The Gathering". Not some overrated Poker substitute, but the moniker NVIDIA coined for their 2001 developers' conference, held in the glitzy confines of the Hilton Hotel at Heathrow's Terminal 4. A cacophony of booze and bitmaps, the conference was opened to the press last Thursday evening, and EuroGamer journos, never ones to turn down a free pint, trooped along to check out the NVIDIA's codename NV20 product, the GeForce 3, and meet some of the people developing next generation software using the platform. We ran into all sorts. Although the conference was mostly held during the day, the hardcore and those who had flown in for the event hung around to make our acquaintance. Adrian Thompson, our man in the trenches at NVIDIA (and possessor of the purse strings when it comes to taxi jaunts home) was very eager to talk to us about GeForce 3. A lot of websites, Adrian told us, have seen tech briefings, but nobody has yet been provided retail drivers, so anything you may have read on the Internet thus far has been largely academic. How does the GeForce 3 compare to its competitors? At the moment, its specifications are far beyond anything you will find on chipsets and graphics cards from NVIDIA's rivals. Even NVIDIA's own market-leading GeForce 2 Ultra pales in comparison, thanks to the GeForce 3's four texture units per pass, multiple textures units per cycle and breathtaking new pixel and vertex shading technologies. Another thing we got to ask Adrian related to the Xbox. After hearing from several sources (including Scottish developers who had gorged themselves on the GeForce Juice Hilton staff were handing out) about NVIDIA's role in the Xbox, we wanted clarification. Is the NV20 appearing in Xbox? "The technology you are seeing here" Adrian said gesticulating wildly at the monitor array we had just walked away from, "will appear in Xbox. Does it really matter what the chip is called?" He's right of course; be it NV20 or NV25, the fact of the matter is that the GeForce 3 will be in Xbox, be it in its current form or in a souped up, overclocked, feature-saturated version eight months down the line. During the next few days we hope to bring you preview coverage of a couple of "launch titles", games used to demonstrate the GeForce 3's capabilities. Aquanox, German developer Massive's contribution, is an RPG come action game set in a post-nuclear underwater world. The sequel to Archimedean Dynasty, which was released by Massive in 1996, the game uses the GeForce 3 to full effect, taking advantage of pixel and vertex shading, the new programmable GPU and the rest of the kaboodle. Pixel and vertex shading are dramatic new technological breakthroughs for this industry. They help the GeForce 3, already the fastest graphics chip on the planet, breathe life into every scene with intricately detailed textures, scope for full facial animation and more. The nfiniteFX (Infinite Effects) GPU enables programmers to create their own sumptuously detailed palettes and stylised visual effects. One of the criticisms, Adrian told us, that people have levelled at the GeForce family in the past is that developers have had to stick with roughly similar palettes and visual effects. Not any more - if they can code it, they can use it. Ballistics, the other title that was on display, is a futuristic evolution of Formula 1, developed by GRIN, where you control vehicles that travel at exceptional speeds (with no real speed ceiling hard-coded into the game) through tunnel-based levels. It's a fine balance of speed, acceleration and thermal-management, and it shoves textures up the GeForce 3's pipelines like nothing else on the planet. Both of the titles we were shown comfortably pushed the GeForce 3, and both looked and performed admirably. One of the key problems that NVIDIA face when it comes to marketing the GeForce 3 is software ready to take advantage of the new technologies. The good news is that not only is performance in classic applications like Quake III industry-leading, but that in time games which make use of pixel and vertex shading predominantly will emerge, angling the GeForce 3 as a hell of an investment for future gaming bliss. We are even more eager to get hold of a board for testing now than we were before! Thanks to NVIDIA for inviting us down to "The Gathering", and thanks to various people for entertaining us, including Bo Anderson at GRIN, Alexander Jorias from Massive Development, gracious sponsors ELSA, AMD and Vector, and our friends Adrian Thompson, Kevin Strange and Chris Donahue from NVIDIA! Here's to the next one! Related Feature - GeForce 3 Preview

Not a very lucky day today. Fierce competition, even in my not so popular niche of fine art. I got up early to buy antique Italian urns for $10 at a garage sale and missed them by maybe 5 minutes. Somebody bought the urns before me. Then, I went to an art studio for a liquidation sale and everything was sold out. I covered over 100 miles between 3 cities to end up with a chip picture frame, which I bought to cheer up an old gentleman as nobody was buying his stuff, and a solid brass sailboat. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
Annmarie Fertoli: That's our tax policy reporter, Richard Rubin. And we have ongoing live coverage of this story on our website wsj.com. Manufacturer 3M has pledged to stop making so-called Forever Chemicals or PFAS and stop using them across its products by the end of 2025. Forever Chemicals got the name because it takes them a long time to break down in the environment. Manufacturers have used them in products from food packaging and cleaning products to nonstick cookware. But the Environmental Protection Agency says research has linked exposure to some forms of the chemicals to health problems including cancers and thyroid disease. Wells Fargo has reached a 3.7 billion dollar deal with regulators to settle allegations that had harmed more than 16 million people over the course of a decade by illegally assessing fees and interest charges on loans for cars and homes. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says the settlement includes the agency's biggest fine ever at 1.7 billion dollars and more than two billion dollars in customer restitution.In a statement, Wells Fargo's CEO said the agreement is part of the company's work to transform its operating practices and put the issues behind it. And Netflix's new ad-supported subscription tier was the service's least popular option in its debut month. Subscription analytics firm Antenna says the plan accounted for 9% of new signups in November and represented 0.2% of its U.S. subscribers. Netflix launched the ad-supported plan in early November in a push to diversify its revenue and expand its base of subscribers. The company says there are inaccuracies in Antenna's figures and that the company's pleased with how the ad-supported service is doing. Coming up, can a massive spending bill clear Congress by the end of the week? We'll discuss after the break.Staring down an end of week deadline, lawmakers today released a broad spending bill for the next fiscal year with increases in military spending and domestic funding, but it'll be a last minute sprint for the Democratic controlled Congress to get the bill passed before lawmakers recess for the Christmas holiday. Joining me now from the Capitol with more on what's in the bill and the battle ahead is Wall Street Journal Congressional reporter, Siobhan Hughes. Hey Siobhan, thanks for being here. e24fc04721
