MS Palladium Patent
Concerned Citizen writes "cryptome has Microsoft's patent for Palladium. Including such gems as: 2. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein protecting the rights-managed data comprises:
refusing to load the untrusted program into memory. 14. The computerized method of claim 1, further comprising:
restricting a user to a subset of available functions for manipulating the rights-managed data.
And I'm sure we'll all be coerced to agree to Palliadium during a future security patch agreement."
Hakkeuuh
Why?
It's their site. They can post what they want. They're not here to keep your sheletered little MS-good, choice-bad worldview intact.
Or maybe for every 3 news stories saying that Al-Queda are up to no good, the news channels should cover the positive work for farmland renewal that Al-Queda are doing?
Oh, they're not? - See how absurd you are being?
Choice of masters is not freedom.
OS_X does almost everything Linux and Windows does. (no rebooting)
Why there are those who pursue calling the FSF, GPL, etc. communistic
ideology I simply do not understand as there is very little, if any,
connection to communistic ideology. Unless of course the real Communist
are simple trying to bit fip the subject.
Communism is a combination of a Socialistic Economic System and a
Totalitarian government.
Europe has the concept of Common Wealth, and it's not Communistic. In fact
it's Europe that is the biggest contributor to Free Software and Open
Source Software.
And according to the signator country stats of the Declaration of
Software Freedom, the US is followed by India, neither of which are
communistic.
Being an American, yet disliking politics for reasons of corruption in
such machinery, I took very careful consideration of the Declaration of
Software Freedom, given it's political tone.
I decided to sign, not for the political overtones but because of some
basic principles that even the political overtones can't defeat without
exposing corruption in the political overtones. Checks and balances?
And that's only this Declaration of Software Freedom. There is alot more
to the FreeDeveloper.net that
exposes in greater depth the falacy of calling GPL software communistic
ideology.
Where anti-trust law breaking monopolies are much closer in actuality to
what communisim is, than GPL ever will or even can be.
"Someone might have misunderstood the term "Freedom" to mean freedom for
all."
And it is the basic principles of the Declaration of Software Freedom by
which we will be able to achieve such freedom. Unless of course you
somehow believe that taking away freedoms is the way to achieve freedom
for all.
Software development technology hasn't reached it's logical and scientific
foundation yet, due to the distractions of efforts to subvert software
freedom, even in the lab. But when it does, it will be as obvious then that
GPL is a major step in the right direction of helping to acheive that
foundation, as it is obvious today that Galileo was right (even by the
Catholic church perspective).
This MS Patent will become a public document in testiment of the belief
that those creating it actually think they were right, in the same way
as filming of the Jewish death camps and pits were filmed in a manner of
those doing it, the killing and the filming, thinking they were right.
From my parent post:
Oh, right, this is Slashdot. Damn near _everyone_ here is running Windows and leaving their 3 gig Red Hat partition untouched.
From the moderation totals:
Moderation Totals: Troll=2, Total=2.
Hey, mods, blow me. I got more karma than you do points. The only wait I'm losing my +1 is if CmdrTaco should happen to reboot into Linux from whatever Windows-only game he's playing and slap me down.
Useless fucking whores.
