No sony dont have checks and balances or some one might have stoped the rootkits, and betamax, and minidisks, and UMDs, and proprietary MemoryStick designs, and this risky blue ray gamble theyre taking. You know what else theyd have stoped, Screwing themselves over like a gay snake folded like a pretzel.

its a question of the level of likelyhood things will take place
if the system is biometric or body implanted... ANY attempt to circumvent the system will be much more personaly threataning
with a keycard the odds are much lower that your going to have yourself maimed for the password or whatever... since the majority of keycard systems are going to be proximity card for doors, i know, my university uses them, theyre fantastic as they are... easy to use, work from inside my wallet and can usualy be activated by brushing my coat pocket past the sensor, so i dont have to even remove the wallet. Its unobtrusive. Unlike having to constantly place my hand out to some sensor.
i dont care why they ban it as long as they ban it damn it... i dont want ANYONE thinking this is a great idea to save a few hundred bucks replacing lost security cards.
in the spirit of correctness... it can be stolen... they just have to brutaly mutilate the person who it was injected into and either take a portion of the body including the chip, or just the chip itself... away with them
much nicer than handing over your wallet and spending a couple of hours calling up and canceling things isnt it...
Ill throw a hypothetical... Say your car now starts using your fingerprint... If you get car jacked... well... lets just say the jacker is going to want to keep the key shall we... *snip*
now re evaluate how much you want that handly little security dodad INSIDE you... if someone wants it... im sure theres plenty of ways to cut it out of you... leave you bleeeding in an alley, swamp, whatever... Hell if i had a high security job this would make me MORE worried rather than realising how useful it is... Ive just become a target, you cant just swipe my keycard... you have to cut of my arm, or cut open werever they injected it so you can use it...
If anyone doesnt realise how much more dangerous these "security" measures are becoming then by all means... go get yourself chipped... i hope they dont put it somewhere too hard to get used to living without... cause if they ever start using them for money...
non manditory chipping could be counted as coerced assault... If i dont let you shove this thing inside me... ill get fired... Hows that sound for the lawyers to spread out over a front page haha
if i was in the US... id be with you... but im in a country with a population density of roughtly 1 square kilometer per person so realy... people dont even think they can try to pull shit like this here.
And the moment they did id say "take that microchip and implant it in your own ass if you like them so much"
No matter WHERE im working i consider that as a law abiding citizen there is NO reason whatsoever that such a thing could ever be neccesary... were i some kind of repeat serial rapist... perhaps then i can see these things being useful... but the moment the goverment tells me i have lost the right to remain anonymous... ill quit the country too.
Red $hat want to be the new microsoft... based on a wonderful world of linux interoperability where its THEIR stuff that works with anything... and its cause everyone else makes it so for them...
I avoid Red $hat like the plauge it is... my loathing for it as a distribution of linux is placed only second behind Debian and their rift between reality, GNU only my ass ill take my open source and complile however i want... under any licence i want...
time people realised that "post-911" is the biggest pile of garbage... we are experiencing not some kind of ungodly "terrorist age"... its an age where big fat goverment thinks it can keep pissing people off... and thats whats causing the terrorism... address the cause not treat the symptoms people
which is why i fully suport Sun and their new T1000 aimed at minimising these issues... primarily with their rather fantastic power per watt figures and being very small machines. low power/highly compact/very efficient machines well worth considering:) *wants one for his next apache & mysql box*

will 123 of the 153 suffice ;)
ahh DEC... where would we be without you... an Athlon away from the pentium killers of today.
AMD licenced the same bus used by the ev7 alphas, and then suddenly the Athlon slingshotted into the stratosphere.
ahh the Alpha... *pats his steel plated 6U quad proccessor DEC AlphaServer*

See you can lose the chip still...

"My guess is that Microsoft's effort is an attempt to create a demand for some future operating system that will be hardened against rootkits."
I belive that the future is now, and this OS... is OS (open source)...
