Too bad they don't write that cached pages to a file isn't of retaining them in memory. The load time would be slower than being read from memory but faster than reloading from the web site.
All you should need to destroy the data on a hard drive is an electro magnet. At my work we had one, that was a little smaller than an iron, that we used to rapidly destroy round reel, and cartridge tapes.
What Metcalfe doesn't realize is that Transmeta is a company that is out to change the comuter industry and make some money while their at it. They have to, how else are they going to pay off their debits they acquired while creating their Cruseo chip. If Transmeta made their VLIW code open source then they wouldn't make their money back. Peolpe would find ways to make chips like Cruseo. Intel would have something similar out in less than a year. Remember Linus works for Transmeta he doesn't own them or even run them, so why should Transmeta make their software open source. By not making VLIW open source Transmeta is keeping the ball in their court, they can control the progress and integerity of their product.
