Tomorrow some american company will sue him (and this will cost them a LOT more than $30000 * number of provinces in vietnam up front).
Gotta love this world we live in. Can't have people without money cured too, because if we do cure them, why would people with money pay for treatment ?
-> do not pay executives $42 million just for quitting, this should lower cost per page by at least 2 or 3 cents -> do not hire executives who just came from worldcom, this will easily lower cost per page 5 or 6 cents -> do not build DRM chips into ink cartridges, which can obviously lower the price per page by 10 cents -> use the money saved by lowering executive pay to hire some actual engineers, so that the company, you know, actually might build some products
The problem is that the mitosis is not controlled by the factors normally controlling mitosis (a chemical signal "please mitose") but for some reason the cells: -> ignore the signal and divide away -> produce the signal themselves
Who does copyright violations -> hezbollah -> you -> me -> I haven't got a doubt even in the white house there is lots of illegal software. I even know someone who's consulted there and he did use questionable practices in that arena.
so...
How come there is no law "fuck copyright owners" getting voted ?
I thought the point of a democracy was to make the will of the people law.
It allows microsoft (and anyone else, say webservers) to verify that your computer runs windows. It is about disabling that "act like internet explorer" menu option in mozilla that makes hotmail miraculously work perfectly.
And it is, obviously, about DRM. Google for "secure attestation", which is the real name of secure boot.
No it is not. Secure startup is what makes "secure attestation" work. It will produce a hash indicating what software is running on your machine, which has ONLY anything to do with what software you have running. It has no use against booting another operating system to read your data. I would suggest you do as you say, and get informed.
And NEVER buy a pc with this feature.
Btw everything on my laptop is encrypted. The root disk is an encrypted volume, as is the data partition. No need for "NGCSB" for that one.
Secure startup is making remote attestation of the software configuration possible.
What does it do ?
If a remote website asks your pc "do you run windows Longhorn ?" it will not be possible to lie. You can not give an answer at all if you choose not to, but you cannot claim you run windows longhorn without actually running windows longhorn.
Why is this useful ? DRM. The way to avoid DRM is to (for example) run a display driver that captures images and prints them out. So now the remote website can ask you "what version/configuration of windows are you running, please specify your display driver."
You can choose to respond in 3 ways: -> not at all -> access denied -> you can lie -> lie is detected -> access denied -> you can tell the truth -> access granted
Obviously, in the last case, you are totally at the mercy of their software, which is obviously the whole point of Secure startup.
With secure startup websites that only want microsoft browsers visiting them (your bank, your employer,...) will be able to enforce that policy. IE-only will be enforced by the hardware inside your computer itself, and it will not be circumventeable.
Next time you find out by email your boss is about to fire you because you're e.g. colored, you will not be able to forward that mail to the authorities, and your boss will be able to destroy ALL traces of that email from his home.
Next time the police really needs data on a person's computer it will not be possible to extract it, because "TPM" will prevent it.
And... next time microsoft needs all the internal documents from your company, they will just open their explorer, that just happens to be implicitly trusted by your company's software, and it can do 2 things : they can both read the documents, and they can make the documents AND any backup copies you may have inaccessible.
Adobe will be able to do this for pdfs, your bank for your bank statements,...
And yet even more people communicate over unencrypted network cable. You might think it's harder to sniff, but let's face it, you go to the neighbourhood's uplink point, you open the door (they key has to be available to hundreds of repairmen, so it is quite easy to get a hold of) and sniff an entire neighbourhood (probably including a few complacent geeks "knowing" that they do not send their data over an insecure network)
Just don't forget that if America ever does get into Europe, and tries to invade us, do not forget that we have both atom bombs and the means (rockets and guidance systems) to get them to you.
Even if that "rocket shield" somehow seems effective, a modern atom bomb is the size of a pc. Do you really think it would not be possible to simply slip one in range (that would be about 100 km) of the white house and set it off ?
And obviously, but most of you seem to be forgetting it in this thread, one might consider it good manners to find a reason to attack Europe FIRST.
I resent the use of the word technology to describe this cruel joke. Do NOT equate a patent with a technology. A technology is a finished version of an idea, a working, moving concept outside of the brain of its creator.
A patent is a hostage idea, never again of any use to anyone. It only serves to desrupt real technologies by legitimizing extortion by big companies.
A pump shotgun in case anyone gets nasty ideas and tries to enter the house. They take little skill and are quite effective at short ranges.
4. Prepare a statement for when your 5 year old kid finds a new toy and shoots your wife with it as she tries to take it from him. Think about what you'll tell him when he's wondering what the bang was and why his mother isn't moving anymore.
No it's just that before long, all government funding will go to the ministry of offence^H^H^H^H^Hdefense, then that ministry will kill of all citiz^H^H^H^H^Hterrorists and robots that kill everything that moves will roam the streets (because if it moves it's clearly terrorist), and we'll have finally thought of the children (which then will lie dead in the street riddled with at least 1 bullet per child)
So let's suppose you are right, then it doesn't matter who are elected, they will inevitably turn bad. This stance will obviously lead to you not voting, which in turn will lead to exactly the situation you lay out here. Anyone who believes this argument will help it coming true. So imho it is utter stupidity.

I'd assume they'd WANT me to know the admin password if it was taped to the back of the laptop.

You seem to forget the most basic of management policies, stupid you :
"Only blame people not present at the press meeting"
no it isn't.
kde.openoffice.org.
It won't be long until you can run it on windows either.
100 kg ? a swarm ? mars ?

I think they need to recheck nasa's pricelist for dropping a kg of material on mars
It's an open standard to create completely closed standards.
It's a way to say "only windows boxes on my network" , and nobody will be able to connect without a windows box.

it's not an anomaly. It's normal mitosis.

If that is true, explain why this test (as demonstrated in the article) fails.
I eagerly await your reply.

An atom bomb is equally scary if I have the button to make it blow up in my own hand.
So is Trusted computing.

Threaten someone's life when they're standing armed before you because they cannot find another decent way to earn a living ? Brilliant strategy.
If you want to kill people, buy a computer game.

damn I need to wake up
that's not the mistake
"...which claims its members loose billions of dollars annually to copyright piracy".
here is the realistic version
"...which claims its members loose tens of dollars annually to copyright piracy".
Then : you made a better product or priced others out of the market.
Now : you get a patent which basically outlaws any products that might compete.
Stupidity is the root of all evil.
