damit.. i knew someone would pick up on that.. i realised too late what i had said...
i mean.. these 'seemingly pointless efforts'..
oh.. while i'm here.. In my first sentence i ment to say 'I guess the Anti-DRM crowd must be cheering', not the DRM crowd.. cause they'r probably kickin someones ass right now..
I guess the DRM crowd must be cheering.. but really its just a matter of time before their little tricks get that much harder to circumvent.. especially if the computer hardware is built for DRM.
What should be alarming is that these repetitive, albeit pointless efforts, are slowly making DRM a reality.
>The only problem is that the sucky slashdot search system would make it hard to get any decent transaction processing speed.
There is no need to depend on the search system. The unique comment id (like 7143662 for the parent) could be used as some sort of inode number.. humm then all ud need is a simple parser to extract the data out..
come to think of it.. with all the crap that gets posted, i wouldnt be supprised if some it was just someones permanent online backup!
Stuff like this could be great or scarry.. its just a question of how open such information will be.
I hope atleast some of the environmental stuff is publically accessible, that way I can check the polution levels outside before i leave the comfort of my home!
