From DRM to Rights Management Services
miladus writes "Microsoft has formed an academic Think
Tank on Trustworthy Computing. The Academic Board is to advise
Microsoft on 'security, privacy and reliability enhancements in[...]
products and technologies so that Microsoft can obtain critical
feedback on product and policy issues related to its Trustworthy
Computing.' An interview
with two members of the board is an interesting read, especially
concerning the global implications of privacy. Of note, is the absence
of DRM discussion.
But DRM shows up as 'Rights Management Services' in the promised Widows
Rights Management Services to be released later this year. it will
deliver a 'platform-based approach to persistent policy rights for
Web content and sensitive corporate documents of all types'"
Suck on it,
Pr0PZ to da CLiT, ASSHATS!
At subway, you get a sub prepared anyway you like, by the friendly, efficient staff. Choose from mouth-watering veggies, succulent meats and cheeses, and a variety of freshly-baked bread. Why not stop in today and pick up some subs for the whole family to enjoy. I suggest the Italian BMT, piled high with genoa salami, pepperoni, ham, and provolone cheese. Top it with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, add a few spritzes of italian dressing and you've got a meal fit for king. Subway: eat fresh!

fo shizzle my nizzle click here (note: the site is currently down. I expect it to come back online around Thanksgiving) to dispatch Jared and his formerly overweight goons to crack down on Subway if they don't honor the $3.49 Troll Tuesday deal. Make sure you provide the store number and address. Mine is store number 5839. Don't believe me about the concept of the jared dispatch? Yahoo has an article about it here , although it is pretty light on the details.
Note: I've gotten a few comments that the link to Jared Dispatch doesn't work. I think the site got taken down because of abuse of the service. Although the site got taken down, I still highly reccomend Subway and their high quality subs. To show my appreciation, here is a link to Free Subway Coupons. I had to redirect it through Yahoo's site redirector, because my of the filter at work. Anyways, here is the link!
Note 2: I've received word that those links to yahoo actually point to goatse.cx. I am truly sorry about that, and I found the cause. A couple weeks ago, a hacker broke into yahoo and set up some scripts that redirect the user to goatse.cx if a file is in a certain directory. I accidentally tried to access a file in one of those haunted directories. I fixed the links (I have a cousin who works at yahoo), so they should bring you to the actual sites now, not goatse.cx. Update 10/28: The hacker, or should I say hax0r, actually has posted a page on yahoo on how he did it and how the goatse redirector works. It's a very good read. I suggest reading it soon before yahoo finds out about it and takes it down. Check it out ASAP!
Note 3: I am working on locating the articles using google's cache. It is taking some time because I don't remember the exact titles. However, I hope to have the links fixed and working very soon. Keep eating at Subway in the meantime, and request that they bring back the jalepeno cheese roll. It is a fanscrumptiously brilliant roll.
Note 4: To all those who think that sub is an incorrect term, I live in upstate NY, and we call it a sub here. There are no hoagies, grinders, po'boys, footlongs, heroes, or any other made up names. It's not hoagieway after all, its Subway.
Important: It is my duty to report to you, loyal low-threshold readers, of a very disturbing incident that happened to me last week. I went into subway at the normal lunch time, but instead of the standard line out the door, the restaurant was vacant. Normally, the queue doesn't concern me, since the crew knows enough to make me a footlong Italian BMT with my standard fixin's and have it ready at 11:30 sharp, on tuesdays. I approached the counter casually, when two bulky men appeared from each side of the potato chip display rack. They held me down, and Jared appeared from behind the counter. He took my preprepared footlong BMT and cracked an evil grin. The manager grabbed the bottle of italian dressing and lubed up my general ass area. Jared shoved the footlong Italian BMT repeatedly into my ass, mixing it with the chucks of feces that were in my bowels, until the fresh crisp veggies resembled brown spoiled food. I begged him to stop, but little did I know the torture waiting for me. He took the italian dressing, and squirted it into my pee hole. Now, it burns when I pee, and it hurts when I sit. I asked him why he was doing this, and he said that they had tracked me down for my abuse of the Jared Dispatch system. You see, Jared gets airsick, and his constant flying over the country has caused him to lose weight due to his vomiting on planes. Normally, this loss of weight would be a good thing, but Subway can't actually claim that he lost weight by eating Subway subs. They told him to put the weight back on and then lose it again by eating subs, somthing Jared does not want to do. As a result, they are the ones who closed down Jared Dispatch. I am begging you, loyal readers DON'T GO TO JARED DISPATCH ANY MORE. Thank you for your time. I have to go to Subway now, and tell them that I want less italian dressing on my footlong Italian BMT. Remember, if you don't eat at subway, then the terrorists win!
Will DRM stop stories about DRM?
Ask Jesus into your heart today!
The ONLY Way, Truth and Life!
yeah thats right
"PressPass: Why doesn?t the board include government and industry representatives as well as academics? Ladd: Microsoft has other venues for input on security and privacy issues from government and industry." ----------- Translation: "Government and industry will be telling Microsoft what to do. This Board has no real function other than to legitimize and spin the decisions which have already been made by others."
Buzzwords? Why don't you give me a single example of a buzzword I used.
You hide behind cowardly and false accusations in attempt to draw attention away from the fact that you have no clue what's going on.
" 1. I have been an MCSE for years, I passed it in two months w.o even studying hard. My experience was all that was necessary."
MCSE is worthless, and you make that clear. I am ashamed to be an MCSE. I'll happily brag about my other certs, but I am literally ashamed to be an MCSE. Ashamed that I was almost as clueless as you once.
"2. I am not going to become an expert on this shat unless I need to use it. I happen to work for a living, and have many other things that I need to be an expert on right now."
You already said you needed something like this for your line of work. Hypocrite.
"3. You use all the right buzz words. You must be a consultant or a tinkerer. Go back to reading your subscription to Linux User and PC World magazines. Maybe you can learn more buzz words to throw around."
I didn't use any buzzwords. I guess instead of using the proper terminology I should dumb it down for you and say things like "Microsoft is using this math stuff that makes it hard to read a file unless you know your math real good."
The more you say, the dumber you sound.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.
