The locks aren't able to break the security controls; they are the security controls.
Your analogy is a bad one, because it implies to the layman that trusted computers are keeping your computer secure, when they are just as likely to be serving a task totally unrelated to security, and only incidentially (sp?) providing a wide open front door to your network.
This mis-interpretation is one that Microsoft and friends appear to be encouraging, and it would be better to spell out the difference for the layman in your examples, as most of the posters (and moderators) on slashdot clearly do not "get it".
Someone mod this guy down?
It's not called Trustworthy Computing, it's called Trusted Computing.
The definition does not say "Firm reliability", it says "Firm reliance"
Do you trust them? Because if you buy one of their machines, you already did. Get it? If you give me your house keys, then find out I'm a thief, until you change your locks, I'm still trusted, even though you know I'm a thief. THAT is what Trusted Computing is all about.
Actually, it refers to your trusting the system, because you MUST trust it. It has nothing to do with how you feel about it.
Here's an analogy: I give you my car keys. You drive away in my car. You are a trusted person.
Are you a trusted person because I gave you my car keys? Not in this terminology. In this terminology, you are a trusted person because you HAVE my car keys, and I have no choice but to trust that you'll bring them back.
Basically, trusted systems are bad. If you have zero trusted systems, you have zero points of failure, and 100% security.

Chicken Run

· Score: 1
It's fast. Someone stands at the barn door with a stack of cages. You pass two handfuls of chickens to him, he plunks em in a cage, and when it's full fires it up to the guy who owns the truck. The driver is responsible for placing the full crates, but doesn't touch the chickens.
As far as I was concerned, the worst part was having all that pissy dust collect in your eyes... used to clean my eyes with a Q-tip after I got home so they wouldn't be glued together in the morning.
That's your own silly fault for signing such a contract.
I've been developing for money for years without signing a contract, and I'd take a sales job before I'd be bullied into signing one like the one you have.
If corporations couldn't find people like yourself to agree to these contracts, they would be powerless. Try looking a little closer to home if you want to bitch.
They could if you could record and play them back, a la a recorded demo. If every reviewer used their own recorded demo, and applied it to each of the cards, it would work just fine.
The woman states that she doesn't understand what the "Language" feature does, or what the "Strings" options do, then proceeds to bash these things she doesn't understand as stupid useless features... is she thick?
Just because you're english, doesn't mean multilingual capability is a useless feature, egocentric lady...
You managed to make yourself look stupid and have me utterly dismiss your review on the very first page! Good job!
Sounds like he is of the opinion that he did what he did because his competitors did, and if he hadn't done them, he would have gone out of business.
Now he sees that the FCC is going to allow his competitors to do things he thinks are against the public interest, requiring him to do them also or go out of business.
Basically, he is riding the tiger, and he doesn't want the FCC to give the tiger any more steroids.
Joseph Smith was convicted of murdering of "Diana the Magnificent" with a two-handed sword yesterday in Texas. He will be executed by lethal injection tomorrow.
Diana has expressed her deep satisfaction with the verdict. She will appear in exclusive interview with David Letterman later this evening.
It's 2029, and a lunar mission lands at Tranquillity Base. A crew of heroic young Indians - or Chinese - quietly folds and puts away America's 60-year-old flag
No, they don't generally reveal their sources...
But they do generally reveal what they're reporting.
"SCO is going to win. Someone told me why. But I can't tell you, or someone might guess who my friend is" is not reporting. It has no substance. It says nothing.
Fittingly, it was moderated as a Troll.

Why is MySQL mentioned in every article on PHP to cross the forum? Get a real database.
Doubt it...
MySQL sucks, is all...

It's trusted computing because you're trusting it. It can fuck you, and you're trusting that it won't.
If it didn't have the capacity to screw you over, you wouldn't be trusting it with anything, now would you?

It's scary because the rest of the world wants America knocked down. Having them grow more powerful and better able to fuck up the world is scary.

Delayed response... I don't live on slashdot you know, I have a life.
Your benefits are optional. Taxes are not.
I think that pretty much takes care of your argument...
That's because whatsherface isn't doing any of the talking.

Hey you fuck! There is no law anywhere that says anyone has the right to take my money or time away from me for their own benefit
Unfortunately there is... it's called taxes...
Where did you get biased from my post, fuckwit?

It doesn't cost anything to promote an artist and make them famous. If not a cent was spent, some artists would still become both popular and famous.
It does, however, cost a lot of money to promote a BAD artist and make them popular.
That's why bad music costs so much money!
Just make one. No one owns Monopoly the rules or Monopoly the name, just the icons and imagery.

The excuse is irrelevant... without details, it's just more FUD
SCO has MUCH case law on their side, which I will not cite
Gee, there's something new
