She also suggested to 'make it easy for users to personalize their interfaces. Look at how popular screensavers, ringtones, and application skins are -- users clearly enjoy the ability to personalize their interfaces. We can take advantage of this fact to build spoof resistant interfaces

Yeah, a bill (in it's original form) that let MS crawl your hard drive and forward data to cops, or delete anything they please is a good one that should be passed.
Not with a strict reading. Both the Constitution and treaties are the "Supreme Law of the Land". The Constitution does not say what happens when they're in conflict.
It's voluntary, although there have been attempts at laws.
It is unconstitutional to use a third party rating system, it violates due process. And for perspective, movies are all voluntary (barring pornographic)
That's the ultimate answer. Game companies will begin to use publishers like Valve and systems like Steam.
And Steam is why my latest computer is a Mac and not a gaming PC. I *REFUSE* to allow Windows machines on my network any direct net access, no exceptions. I don't do multiplayer, and there should be no requirement for single player to have net access. Since I wasn't getting a computer for HL2 any more, there was no need to stick with PCs
No, the gamecube is on the PS2. That stack is on one shelf, the xbox is on the shelf below it with the AV switch box balanced on the XBox. It rocks when you switch the source, so I certainly wouldn't want a disk based system on top of the Xbox.
Or is this already possible with any OS? The ability to specify a list of allowed executables and the disability for a user application to change the list.

How many of you have even heard about this game before this flap? A game that wouldn't normally even be a blip on the radar has made /.
Are you sure that's a cold start of Word?
IIRC, there's an "Office fast start" loaded at login by default after an office install.

If it's not infringing, why does there need to be a tax? It's allowed by definition, why does it need to be paid for?
Hasn't apple stated that they aren't adding any of the new APIs to java?
For the record, it is also perfectly possible to write safe C code with a good deal of rigor and some basic knowledge of the platform.
Yes, it is.
But neither of those are present in a good chunk of "professional" "programmers"
How is it unjustly? The states approved the 14th.
CD's / DVD's / theatres...
Those aren't law. Where is the FTC ability to fine for Wal-Mart selling an R-rated movie to a minor?
Prove it.
There are already several precedents that shot down any attempt to regulate movies and books. This isn't any different.
It's not universal to all media.
It's not Constitutional.
So yes, it's unreasonable.
What about the power to fine business that sell R rated movies to kids?
Which, by the way, is a much larger problem than games.
Yeah, a bill (in it's original form) that let MS crawl your hard drive and forward data to cops, or delete anything they please is a good one that should be passed.

You're not very far in then. Zoom to Seaview, walk in the door, save. Take a right if you want to restore health.
But yeah, a save anywhere would be nice.
Those places aren't in the US.

What's the software company giving up? You already have the rights to run the software by copyright law, and EULA's are pretty damned one-sided.

So I'm on consoles now for all my gaming.
No, the gamecube is on the PS2. That stack is on one shelf, the xbox is on the shelf below it with the AV switch box balanced on the XBox. It rocks when you switch the source, so I certainly wouldn't want a disk based system on top of the Xbox.
It's hidden away on my setup. Sitting on top of the PS2.
The problem was the xbox, with it's non-flat top.
Or is this already possible with any OS? The ability to specify a list of allowed executables and the disability for a user application to change the list.
I can think of at least two
And how successful were those consoles?
uhh, TTBOMK, any of the major chains already do that.
The enforcement is at or above that of movie theaters.
So why aren't the RIAA and MPAA held accountable for their content? There is no law enforcing ratings on other media.
What's the basis for saying the PS3 will likely drop to half its cost?
Because the PS1 and PS2 did?
You have the same problem on x86. That's an anti-debugging trick. Debugger executes new code, straight run through executes old.
