  5. Re:Bad assumption on EFF Position on Trusted Computing · · Score: 1


    This seems to be assuming "Trusted Computing" is intended to benefit users.

    I don't necessarily expect there to be end users on the machines I intend to run Palladium on. I want an effective means of hardening a server against compromise.


    Yeah, but DRM is being proposed in the hardware and OS for *ALL* computers, not just servers.

    Nah... *BSD is dying (see note 1).

    Besides, SCO has said that it may sue *BSD as well, so you're not safe from frivolous lawsuits!

    BZZZT! And thank you for playing! Here's your lovely parting gift.

    There is currently no draft.

    Even if there was a draft, only males were required to register for said draft.
