Actually it cannot.
There is no way to provide such a thing when I can build my own kernel.
Less intrusive DRM is always better than more intrusive.
If a kernel module existed to provide the protected path, then you could include that module when building the kernel. I'm guessing such a module doesn't currently exist, but that doesn't mean no-one will ever write one.
Fair point, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a protected path cannot be provided at some point. The ideal would obviously be no DRM, but then the ideal would be we all live in a world without pollution, robots to perform day-to-day tasks, and limitless money meaning no poverty. We can't have everything, so we try to make the best of what we have.
Because the object tag was designed for arbitrary content. The video tag is specifically designed for video, and adding a drmID attribute (for example) would be a logical and obvious thing to do. The browser would then load the correct CDM, setting its input to the stream and its output to the protected path the OS provides.
Like how Flash/Java/Silverlight pollute the HTML standard? Oh wait, they don't - they all use the object tag.
Besides, a CDM is simply a validator and decryptor. No need for a full-scale runtime environment. The entire module could be written by one person in a couple of days. If well-designed, porting would be a case of throwing a couple of compiler switches.
Has cold fusion been thoroughly debunked though? I'm as skeptical as the next guy, and see this E-Cat as yet another ego-stroking dead-end, but I'm not going to totally rule out cold fusion just yet.
You mean without confirmation like the Amazon 1-click buy now button?
Amazon doesn't charge the card/debit the account until the item is dispatched, so you have time to check the order and cancel it without charge. At least, that's how it's worked for all orders I've placed there (though I don't use 1-click).
I do not think Microsoft is as arrogant as people on this very anti-MS site make it them out to be.
Of course they are.
It takes an ego massive enough to bend light to release an update named "Windows Blue" without realizing the next two words in everyone's heads will be "screen" and "death".

Either that, or someone at MS has a sense of humour;)

If such a module existed there would be nothing preventing me from modifying it to dump into a file.
True. But then again, it's not like closed-source DRM has proved impossible to crack ;)

Which part of the spec is that? I can't seem to find it.
In an environment that can isolate and sandbox it.
And then snaffle the decrypted data...
If the design/implementation is flawed.
Then BD+ is poorly designed. There's no reason you can't have a CDM system that isn't isolated and sandboxed.

A single decrypting module that runs completely arbitrary data.

The browser would then load the correct CDM, setting its input to the stream and its output to the protected path the OS provides.
The ONLY thing that the "standard" offers is a vague air of legitimacy.
And a vastly reduced attack surface, since there won't be a full-scale run-time, just a simple decrypting module.

It appears your humour detection unit has malfunctioned. Don't worry, a new one is on its way, and will arrive in 3-5 business days.
With netflix I feel my brain is dying It's like a drug if its easily available but all you get is brain rot.
Then look through the library beyond the Top 10 - there's loads of great stuff if you're willing to search for it. It takes, I dunno, a minute?
I swear EFF has being going off the deep end lately.
Their latest tirade against non-free javascript just makes me go "WTF?"
The EFF has said nothing of the sort - you're thinking of the FSF ;)

It's saying Moore's law has failed exactly because it's 18 months later and you would expect 13nm parts by now
Or a die area twice as large.
Bentonite, note the "ite" is a rock.
Dynamite, gelignite, Araldite. Three chemicals (or mixes thereof) that end in '-ite' and aren't rocks.
Somehow, being given a unique URL and showing the related picture requires client-side script in order to load said picture.
More likely to try and stop you copying the image without permission. After all, it's not like there's a local cache or tools such as Fiddler.
Don't worry, it'll be increased in 2208.
Who would've thought that it's a bad idea?

It took 3 versions and 8 years before it started to replace Netware. No one purchased NT 3.1
Because there's no such think as NT3.1. The first NT was 3.51.

That's like comparing a brake disc to an entire family hatchback.
So you're saying no-one uses the font tag anymore? You have way too much faith in web developers.
What did I refute? Seriously, let me know ;-)
All true. Those tags are still found in the wild though.
