      Are you sure? According to Microsoft, RMS is a DRM system.

      I wish another stupid politcian would come up with another retarded description for something technical so all these no-so-funny anymore tubes jokes would rot in the bowels of internets history.

      Oh look, another joke that wasn't funny.

    We'd better get the CIA and FBI involved, along with the RIAA, NTSB, MPAA, ABC, CBS, CNN, AOL, MSN, and NBC. Oh, and be sure to alert the EFF and NRA while you're at it. Note that I am not affiliated with the RNC or DNC, although I am a FOB.
