You'll only be able record digitally if you sign it with your Microsoft Passport (or similar) ID. Playback will require authentication based on the Passport ID.
Of course this will tie down the ability to record to certified devices, but that appears to be the way that it's going.
<dons flame proof suit> Seriously, some sort of mechanism like this is the way that things are likely to proceed.
The producers need to try and protect their investment in content generation. From a consumer point of view we want to be able to make copies.
If those copies are somehow tied to a personal/family digital key then it makes a good compromise. </dons flame proof suit>
The original iMac had a fan. As the machine underwent it's many colourful transformations it lost the fan on it's way. Better venting and G3 chips that ran cooler.
The current iMac has a fan, albeit one that runs quietly. As the eMac has a G4 rather than a G3 processor I would expect it to have similar variable speed fan to the iMac and Apple laptops.
2.) The description was available on the internet for 4 to 5 years by now. It's publication on paper was not forbidden during this time.
Ah, so, since it had been around for a little while, it's okay for the government to allow its continued publication in spite of the grave threat to national security it may pose.
If something has previously been published then it is almost impossible to remove the information from the public domain.
If someone wants to find and use this information, if it has been available for such a long period of time, then they will be able to find it. The only people that won't be able find it are those that like to think that everything is safe and secure.
As Deutsche Bahn are going to ship Nuclear material the fact that such information has been published in the past and may be in the hands of people that may want to sabotage those shipments may be of interest. This smacks of trying to bolt the door after the horse has bolted so as to reassure Joe Public about the safety of such transportation.

Can GnuPG Deliver?
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Having switched to Mac OS X I'm using a Chat (AIM/MSN/Yahoo/IRC/Jabber) called Fire.
This has seemless GPG integration. You select the key you want to use, enter your pass phrase on startup and it's ready to work.
Key exchange is managed from within the chat windows. There is an option to send your public key to your "buddy" and it automatically inserts the key into their keychain.
This is as seemless a use of encryption tech that I've seen in software and would make a good model of how to integrate into other applications.
BTW. I've had some experience in using PGP in a commercial environment being responsible for adding mandatory PGP signing to the UK domain registry in 1996.
Why would I give that up so I could just buy a computer that I'd have to replace every three to five years?
If you need to upgrade it don't buy an iMac/laptop.
I need a laptop so I keep upgrading on a regular basis:) however my father is still running a PowerMac 8500 bought towards the end of 1995 (see http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac/sta ts/powermac_8500_120.html for details)
A brief list of updates carried out on the system:
CPU upgrade from 120 Mhz PPC 604 to 466 Mhz G3
Adaptec Ultra SCSI card added with 3 x 9GB internal SCSI drives.
USB PCI card added
Radius MotoDV card added for DV NLE (three years ago)
It runs fine for general office type work, DV Editing, general browsing, email etc. It won't run OS X so will probably be replaced in a year or so by one that does. By that time it'll be between 7 and 8 years old. The replacement will be another Mac, but a tower not an all in one.

Given that you can already do this with an x86 system why would you want Apple hardware? Style?
IMO the Apple hardware is nicely packaged, but the differentiator is the OS not the hardware.
Why would I give that up so I could just buy a computer that I'd have to replace every three to five years?
