At that time, the computer can be disabled, all data on its hard drive wiped clean, or an IP trace put on the connection to determine the physical location of the system.
In other words, it will traceroute the ip and find out where it is geographically located, and then contact the ISP to find out who was on at that time. If it is reported stolen it shouldn't be that difficult for the police to get a court order to get the ISP to reveal that information.
Chances are, there will be a sticker right next to the Intel Inside logo that says "Phoenix Theft-Guard Protected". Likewise, it doesn't take more then a little research to find a quick-and-easy way to circumvent a technology (in this case, replacing the bios chip and/or motherboard)
"Since TheftGuard's also in the BIOS, even if you remove the hard drive, we can still track or disable the machine, or wipe the drive," he said. Another trick that can eradicate anti-theft software -- running FDISK to reformat the drive -- also is foiled by TheftGuard's place in the HPA section of the hard drive, which is immune to simple reformatting tools.
Last I checked, the BIOS was in a socket. What stops someone from swaping out the bios chip before turning on the box?
The protocol is borked and is unsuitable without frequent changes of key for any kind of privacy.
You make it sound like I could drive by your house, sense that you have an WAP, and crack your WEP with out stopping. In reality, thousands of weak packets are required in order to break a WEP key. That can take from several hours to many days to break. Chances are, no one is going to sit in your driveway for 36 hours for some free internet.

Actually, the GPS system is owned by the Air Force. Here is a fact sheet.
The NAVSTAR Global Positioning System is managed by the NAVSTAR GPS Joint Program Office at the Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif.
Perhaps you should take a closer look at this story. Unless you plan on spending $900 on your copy of office, you don't get XML support. Sounds proprietary to me.
Likewise. from the article:
Text in Office 2003 files stored in XML format might be viewable in other desktop programs, but all document formatting would be lost
Sounds to me like you'd be better off saving it as an RTF then as a MSXML file. Save yourself 100kb.

RIAA vs The Economy

It looks more like the RIAA is targeting the 1% of people who actually pirate mp3s to account for their slowing sales due to a poor economy. Atleast Kodak has a valid reason why people don't want their film products.
I'd rather play with the possibilities of cheaters then be forced to run something that 'checks my hard drive' or 'takes screenshots' of my game and ftps them back.

Its too bad that there arn't any winners here. Satan can pay Satan all he wants.
Let the other billion or so people NAT the remaining ip addresses! 10.x.x.x adds another 16M, and they can 192.168.x.x behind those :)
Did you mean: NUCLEAR war
I think you did!

You shouldn't be. Phoenix was renamed Firebird over a month ago.

The company has admitted that it's initial approach angered a large number of customers.
No kidding? I'd be angry too if they were trying to jew me out of my company's hard earned cash.
Is it just a coincidence that +R is positive and -R is negitive?
I think not!

That really makes me want to install your "security" software.

Also great for those messages that just need to self destruct. Kind of reminds me of Inspector Gadget. I'll get you next time gadget! NEXT TIME!
How long until I can buy one of these for myself? Seems like something I'd like broadcast over the internet.
So much for my spelling. Patent
