Actually, IIRC there is significant effort being put forth to digitally watermark the audio so that even if you convert the digital to analog and back to digital, the watermark can still be detected... i.e. the watermark is subtly embedded and spread throughout the audio.
Re First: It will be cracked and then it will be shared and then enough people will be placed in their own square cell to scare everyone else into temporary submission. The technology itself is not to be feared, rather, it is the current and future laws which will severely punish those who do crack it or share it which should be feared... after all, murder is almost as bad as cracking.
I suspect that because Palladium will "protect" financial transactions, ANY tampering with it will have severe penalties commensurate with robbing a bank.
Re Second: In the long term, you may be right, but there is a virtual monopoly on content creation and distribution which will not break easily (if at all). Consider the introduction of CDs, DVDs, etc... they illustrate that if people want the content, they will buy whatever is necessary to get that content.
cool, thanks! I hope it catches on... of course the backup bios doesn't even have to be that big, if it's only function is to fix the first... but with the DualBIOS, even if the first one is physically damaged, the second should work, which is pretty cool.
you could restore the old BIOS onto the flashrom with a. an external ROM burning device
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a jumper to boot from a small internal non-flashable ROM which would in turn execute the contents of a floppy, allowing you to use the mbs own eprom burner? or am I dreaming?
LinuxBIOS provides the hardware initialization for a multitude of *real* motherboards, while Bochs bios (designed for a single hardware "virtual" machine) provides interrupt services required to boot some PC OSs (like Windows). "ADLO" is the name of the wrapper around the Bochs BIOS which allows LinuxBIOS to make use of the BIOS interrupt services provided by Bochs.

fear the laws, not the technology.

Somehow, Bochs must connect to *real* hardware.
LinuxBIOS provides the hardware initialization for a multitude of *real* motherboards, while Bochs bios (designed for a single hardware "virtual" machine) provides interrupt services required to boot some PC OSs (like Windows). "ADLO" is the name of the wrapper around the Bochs BIOS which allows LinuxBIOS to make use of the BIOS interrupt services provided by Bochs.
all this and more here.
Nevermind... I'm sorry... you're saying that the interpreter (written in C or whatever) runs the JIT compiler, right?
Right. So how does a compiler written in C# (compiled to cil) ever run without another JIT (to machine code) compiler or interpreter?
