What never ceases to surprise me in these articles/studies is that they're always published on a site with 'linux' in it's name. Why don't they publish them at msdn, Forbes, Time, New York Times or somewhere useful?:)
2) Palladium is hardcoded for / enforces a specific OS
It is hardcoded for a specific system, Windows, that is. You must remember that Palladium != TCPA even if MS wants you to think so. Palladium is an implementation of TCPA.
..and here's the living proof. I originally wrote a lengthy article about how the reality or, er, reality could not support such a thing as time travel, but I was later proven wrong, and hence came back here to pre-emptively edit my original post into this form. Now do you believe?

I've been pondering on something for a while..
facts:
1) MS has a powerful advertisement faction
2) People are gullible
3) People are lazy
4) People will buy MS if they advertise enough
Now.. presume an organization is started (call it Youth (And Not So Youth) Against Anti-Democracy, or something as hilarious).. the organization collects a bit of money ($5 from each of you guys and gals -think about it, you'll be saving $395 for not having to get Longhorn if this works:), and then buys ad space in Forbes, Newsweek, USA Today and at random other good newspapers (ok, I know, but people READ USA Today!), and put in full-page ads in the spirit of:
"Ten reasons why you should not buy MS Palladium"
And provide ten links to select websites.
A) Would this be illegal (answers in IANAL, please:)?
B) Could they sue if someone said it was?
C) Would either A or B cause the main networks to get curious about it (aside from NBC)?

Bah. I guess /. has some guidelines that only old news gets published?
-But what does FSF stand for??
-Free software foundation.
-You mean they give stuff for free?
-No, 'free' as in free speech.
-Oh, I see.

I agree that Asimov is wrong.. it should read "Violence is the first resort of the incompetent (human beings)".

I definitely agree. We shouldn't research alternative power sources because we can use oil until it runs out.

Palladium will not conform to TCPA. MS wants to get there before anyone else.
We here at the peak of the modern technology have had the ability to track eachother's locations via cellphones for some time now.
