Assuming the rumor is true that Microsoft uses the TPM keys in conjection with Apple and Dell to prevent teh Vista beta's from operating.
The particular ID for the key has to be trusted for the drm to work. Kind of scary if you ask me and I would be quite pissed if I bought the new mac wanting to buy windows only to have a single line of code use the built in drm to prevent me from using my machine to full potential
Yes but this is used to determine which OS to purchase and support as well as port apps according to the PHB;s.
Linux is a unix and yes it should be counted. The move to cheaper standards and hardware is the norm and if Windows is being counted then so should linux on sub $1000 servers.
Many unix software has not been ported to linux but only to solaris and windows. These kinds of stories make the phb's not want to support linux at all because in their mind its unix and its dying. News.com said so right? So they will port the apps to windows only.
That is bad and a situation none of us want happening.
Maybe I was a boy when IBM was the big bad monopoly but at least IBM made quality compenents and was friendly to hackers.
Microsoft was crap which is what started my anti-ms attitude.
I trust IBM over MS and Sun. IBM is not the same as the old and the old at least supported open standards and good quality engineering and technology unlike MS which is still trying to write a stable OS that IBM has had since the 1970's. MS would have went extinct if the free market applied to them.
But since IBM gave away their monopoly to MS, the market no longer applied. Its use MS or not join the world?
Keep in mind this potential boss screwed her. He renogiated her salary after accepting the offer. That is bad and she did the right thing but could have done it better.
I would of emailed them back accusing them of violating the verbal contract and mention not wanting to work for such a boss.
Now if she agreed and then stated the lower offer then she could sue him back.
It was when did the renegotiated salary take place will be key on who sues who.
Still she could have acted more professional. She could have plainly stated that she felt violated and wanted immediate renegotation. If they refused then she would not accept the position and explain why. This would look better in court.
I dont think they will have her disbared. But I bet what they will do is blacklist her so she can't work elsewhere. Bad for her because that will be difficult to prove.
She has a right to sue them just as much. Also I think she didn't bother to renegotiate because she decided a kind of boss who does this crap isn't worth working for. I would be hesistant and not wanting to work for him either after that.

I disagree I purchased a gamecube just for the game.
It made me lose my confidence in the zelda genre. The gameplay was too hard and awkward and the puzzles were not as challenging. All the levels seemed teh same after awhile and it got boring. It was missing alot of familiar weapons and items and the rest were not that good. I thought it was lame that it was harder to die even though you get killed alot easier.

You can thank the reliable uncyclopedia for the pic.
The avain flue does not spread from human to human at this time
But its 5x as deadly as teh 1918 flue pandemic which killed millions. In this global service economy it can easily kill over a billion people and wipe out 1 out of 6 people.
Also auto deaths are very high. I drive with caution.
HR and many managers would view it as incompetance. If employee x is that underpaid then why didnt he/she leave? Is she really not worth what she is being paid?
Corporations dont want to hire at all as you cost money. They want the best bang for the buck.
Someone making alot of money is assumed better and would get the job as the productivity would soar past someone servely underpaid.
Many managers who were not laid off and kept their 85k a year jobs and were not outsourced to India feel differently than those who cut their salaries in half. If they are doing the interviewing the unoutsourced managers may feel they are supperior and better and those outsourced were simply not good enough and therefore were paid less.
I asusme it has to do with value and your compentance. Many IT folks who did not have their jobs outsourced to India kept making 75k a year while those who did took jobs for 25k.
many who stayed at 75k are now promoted as managers and do the hiring.
Who would you hire the one making 35k or 65k? I would assume the one making 65k was better at his or her job otherwise he or she would leave right? Of course this is not true but those who have not been outsourced it may be viewed differently.
Back then no big mega corp could manipulate the whole market.
Today that is what is going on. Adams never saw it coming.
Funny how these market purists think its imoral to pay someone above minimal wage if that is what the market wants. But man these programmers make soooo much money and its hurting our bottom line... I know lets lobby congress so we can lower the value of the labor market with Nafta and H1b1 so we can make more money. But unions they are evil!... but its ok to price fix... bal bla bla.
I dont think we truly live in a free market economy today.
Yep supply side economics and classical economics is only one part of the picture
Evil... communism... get scared... balo bla
Keynesian economics works and requires government intervention. Its required as learned by the great depression. I think its trollish to call anyone who is not a market purist a communist.
Keynesian economics claims businesses hurt themselves and manipulate the market. There is no incentive to do good as that would give you a competitive disadvantage. If the shareholders now own the corporations then they should be liable and more involved in company decisions.
The only way to change this is hit them with the pocketbook. I think we need laws and regulations and perhaps some shareholder accountability if they now claim they own the companies.
In the 1980's there was a shift from who owns the companies? The shareholders or the CEOs? The market determined the shareholders and all hell broke lose.
Maybe if forced upgrades give this Korean manufactor an incentive to rush to the market for the buzzword HDCP then he may feel different. If he doesn't support it he loses marketshare.
If I am buying a new pc it better as hell include drm hdcp if I am spending big bucks. because I feel windows media and soon Itunes will require it. Nothing we can do to change this and the world will pass me by without it.
%90 of all computer users prefer media player. Why?
Because it comes with Windows
%98 prefer IE over firefox despite security holes. Why?
Because it comes with Windows
Windows Media 11 will have a video and audio store. Click on the latest britney spears... oops your monitor is not supported.
So what will Joe Six Pack do? Buy a new monitor. Plain and simple.
To Joe he is gaining the ability to watch video. Not losing any rights.
Also lets say Joe Six pack clicks on a file that looks crystal clear on a friends pc but fuzzy on his? hmmm this nice HDCP thing might make better picture quality.
Better buy a new monitor, etc.
It worked with dvd's with css it will work with this. DRM is the wave of the future.
Also the pc manufactors and peripheral makers LOVE this. Memory prices went up %400 when Windows95 came out! They want their profit margins and drm will rake in money and Microsoft can make money as well as the media outlets who dont ahve to worry about piracy.
Everyone wins. And %97 of all consumers think they are too and wont know or care.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah but watch the shipping price?
$399!.... but with a $250 shipping charge. Hmm

" I work at Microsoft and we added code to Vista to block out certain keys in TPM that are used in macs.
"
Got any proof on this?
Also the big boys are the ones pushing for IIS over apache and a 1 standard monopoly. That is Microsoft to bring down support costs.
So yes the big buys want ms and are looking for reasons to dump linux and unix and the small guys already use MS products.
What a screwed up world indeed and bad for us
Yes but this is used to determine which OS to purchase and support as well as port apps according to the PHB;s.

Perhaps a chainsaw and a nice table saw with sharp blades is great for kids to learn how to use tools

Good old reliable uncyclopedia provides a nice screenshot with a bob like character?
The new release looks great!
Liberaltarianism is about having the market run everything and not the government. Government regulation is the problem and not the solution.
Yes liberaltarians are anti-corporate too but they just down want to do anything about it as the government is the real problem.

Otherwise you will be filtered by HR who wants the most qualified workers for the cheapest price.

I only use myspace because my friends are on it. I hate it personally
Microsoft.com and hotmail run just fine.
And yes FreeBSD is no longer used on most hotmail servers and teh login servers are run on w2k3.
If Myspace is too incompetant to use an inferior OS then Tom should be fired for not chosing Solaris or some other technology.
Myspace is owned by Murdock which owns Fox News. He has billions. So the budget is not the problem but rather incompetance.
Its sad when %99.99 reliability was once the norm and a %99.97 was considered fireable a few years ago, when myspace has a %40 reliablity.
... due to its uptime rating in the %50 range.
At least it seems that way to me or you get in and you have to hit reload 10x in a row or the back button because of random error messages.
Funny how real administrators conser %99.97 low and fireable yet Tom remains employeed??
