All I can say is look to foreign hardware. They will never implement these RIAA and MPAA policies.All the real boot legging goes on in the far east where there isn't the enforcement anyways.
Second point, which is the reality of our current situation. Look where all the hardware is manufactured. China, Indonesia...Asia! That's right, the same place where all the boot legging goes on. American manufacturers can't compete with the labor costs. Visiontek(Illinois) is about to die isn't it?
Yes, they might produce some DRM hardware in Asia but I guarantee they will always produce to meet their own growing demand.
Chinas economy grows at about 7 percent. If the kids over there want to burn disks as more get connected, it'll happen.
There will just be people over here wasting money and man hours trying to stop it.
I have yet to see in the follow up posts or the even the article a single mention of DSL services. I'm about to move, and when I do I'm going to call speakeasy.net
Comcast is treating me better now than they we're earlier this year, but if I'm about to sign a 1 year service agreement, it's not going to be with someone who has their services waiting in line at the chopping block.
This is an opportunity for existing DSL and other wireless services to prove their value.
Yes, I hear you but..come one and come all.
Let them develop. The OS is just a tool for all to use.
I'm tired of being an early adapter. I can't wait to tell Linux stories to former windows users of how it used to be....
I wonder, what is expected? Debian is great, as long as you have high speed internet. I built a web server from an old P133 and floppies. Potato is stable and does great. I took those same floppies to my desktop computer. Downloaded Potato and upgraded to Sid. Nvidia, Audigy sound, DVD, Gnome, enlightenment, and I'm happy as ever. Things get done with alot of spice. Once I got over the install, things are easier than ever. Oh yeah, I'm a Red Hat 7.2 convert. I_love_not_worrying_about_the_dependencies. Debia n, it's there for me and I'm grateful to the Debian developers.
I hear people complain about no KDE3 and I wonder what are they expecting? A designer drug type computer experience? I don't know...maybe I'm just on a linux high. I learned something by being "under the hood", I'm feeling competent, and that it's time I learn more and contribute. GNU/Linux is just tools waiting to be used. Freedom is a responsibility. In a democracy you must be alert. I guess it's hard to grasp for some.

We'll be able to get the hardware :)
