Gates on Digital Restrictions Technologies

Posted by michael on from the and-in-the-darkness-bind-them dept.

doormat writes "According to this article, Gates says you can choose not to use the new secure PC technology that they're developing. Is that going to be a choice like being a vegetarian, or like choosing not to eat at all?" There's also a short piece about DRM and Linux, which is a follow-up to Linus on DRM.

    Oh yes! I'm so tired of hearing about how meat isn't healthy, how you can get all the protein you need from a plate of beans, how animals suffer, etc.

    Yeah, animals suffer. It's sad. I'll agree with that. But we're human. We've been eating meat for thousands of years. We'll keep eating it. It tastes good. Deal with it.

    And beans give ya gas. That's so nasty.
