Like in the http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/11/17/20 36255 case where the guy said that he was covered... if your zune has an 'infringement tax' on it... are you now covered for anything you put on it that is RIAA property?
if Diebold has done nothing wrong then they should have nothing to hide, that includes sourcecode, open the sourcecode
And if you have nothing to hide, then you won't mind the police searching your house without a warrant.
Seriously people, as much as I don't like the diebold obfuscation method, opening the source isn't an option for a company that doesn't want to lose a stranglehold on a market.
Yes, have some kind of code review, the govt should be doing that anyway for a 3rd party product that's being put to such high-profile use, but don't ask a company to give you their work that they've paid people to develop for them.
Since this is the first post that reads like they looked over TFA and saw that it isn't a separate dongle but built into the dvd, and it's now a mal-formed lumpy looking thing, I'll mention the main concern I had:
I use a slot loading DVD drive. I love it, it's quiet and works fine.
It can't take 8cm discs, only 12cm. (supposedly I can get a 12cm adapter for 8cm discs though) It came with a warning saying never to stick crazy shaped discs in because I will not get them out again.
FTFA
I'm not entirely sure why, but forward-slash now initiates a "Quick Find" which closes after a short period of inactivity and doesn't display the rest of the page find interface. elements
I've been using the '/' key to quick search in FF for ages.. I'm using it now in 1.5.0.7 in fact.
And while I like the new discussion thing, I do notice that the dancing moving comments box on the left (reminds me a bit of the net in 1997 when all menus followed you)doesn't stop at the bottom of the other sections/vendors/help etc area, it sits over the vendors bit.

I thought they had fixed the price...
or does price fixing mean something else nowadays?
Thank you, I'll be here all week.

I wonder how that kazaa case is going.
re: # 3 -> a fun experiment!
It is confusing, here's an experiment, try opening the 'advanced' section of the options dialog.
Now click on 'encryption'
watch the tabs dance around!
It settles down after a few clicks on other tabs, but when I first encountered it, I thought I was going mad.
wtfbbqhax!

how does this technology help me?
Patent Infringement! I clearly have prior art to entertaining/excersizing these molecules!
I would agree with your points, but most subscription models require a much lower inital cost...
And the 'feature' of having only 5 devices accessible over a network (home basic) seems to be a large inital price for less features.
It's a nice thought, but the implementation is not somethine I want to deal with.
