There has already been one lawsuit about this (ALS Scan v. RemarQ (one of the largest Usenet sites)) and I think ALS won, so it has already been set in motion.
And should Apple build authentication into the installer process from the ground up, everyone will be wringing their hands with concerns about how Apple selects who gets signed.
I doubt it, since Software Update is only used to update Mac OS itself.
It will strongly resemble the code signing thing Microsoft said it would start doing in future versions of Windows.
Not really, since MS is talking about requiring code to be signed, while we're talking about having Apple sign updates for their own software. Debian signs their updates, right? Does that make them evil, too?
So the question is this: how hard is it to build a black box that takes an mpeg2 video stream over 1394 and strips it of its copy protection?
Pretty hard, since your black box won't have a certificate issued by the DTCP certificate authority. You can read more about DTCP at the official site.
However, it looks like the manufacturers are turning from 1394/DTCP to DVI/HDCP (and later, HDMI/DTCP). Theoretically, HDCP has been cracked, but it looks like it would take a lot of resources to actually execute the crack.
Basically, what I want to know, is how -standard- and commited is the current HD protocal?
Nobody really knows, but it looks like Congress/FCC isn't willing to change the spec and screw all the people who already bought HD equipment. So I'd say the time to buy that HD capture card is now.
...either the devices are going to share a key (total compromise the first time it is cracked) or there will have to be a huge database containing the public keys for all of the devices...
Or during manufacturing each PC maker will sign each device's public key, storing the signature in the device. Then you don't need a giant database.
This is an old 1.1 VM that won't run any modern Java code. Now people won't want to download Java VMs because they "already have Java", frustrating Java developers just as much.

The most interesting use for BEEP that I've found so far is iCalendar's Calendar Access Protocol (CAP).
Do you believe that all Linux distributions should use such a friendly series of dialog boxes in order to attract more users to Linux?
Actually, I'd like to see Linux preinstalled on more computers so that users don't have to install at all.

Because Liberty Alliance has not released any specs!
7. NFS is not secure (except for NFSv4). Maybe an HTTP/WebDAV-based file sharing system would be better.
9. I recently discovered Pepper, which is quite nice. Admittedly it's not a common editor.
That wouldn't work, because the restricted media files would be stored in storage only accessible to Windows Media Player.
So what's the point of running ext2 if it's exactly equivalent to ext3/writeback but with very slow fsck?
If you want to be sure that the data is on disk, use fsync().

The broadcast flag is not used in satellite receivers, so I was talking about over-the-air HD tuners.
Existing set-top HD tuners will continue to work, so no class action for you.

I think 4x and 12x Infiniband use multi-fiber cables. In practice, everyone uses copper for Infiniband, though.
Because either they haven't decided what the official name will be or they don't want you (and their competitors) to know what the official name is.
Yes, Serial ATA has one drive per channel. I think most controllers come with at least 4 channels.
Since Divx 5.0 is MPEG-4 and QT 6 includes an MPEG-4 codec, who needs Divx any more?
What's so weird about copper GigE? It works just fine for me.
PhysicsGenius is a well-known troll.
Echostar won't go to court with you over the GPL; they'd just release the code so you'd stop bothering them.
Also, does the redistribution clause of the GPL apply when it's distributed embedded or just as a software package.
If it's in someone's hands but yours, you distributed it.

MPEG-2 streaming client Mac gives you VideoLAN as the first hit.
