EU data protection directive also bans this practice. Yes kids its a crime to "tri-angulate data".
Oh all data can not be used for purposes other than its original collection. All data holders also have to keep records on who they shared the records with, such parties have to be related to stated collection purpose.
DVD-Forum HD working group currently favours using "AOD" (advanced optical disk) as the physical medium plus mpeg2 compression for DVD-HD.
AOD offers the same capacity as blu-ray, lower manufacturing costs and negates the need for CD's or DVD's to be placed inside a caddy (as blu-ray) requires. AOD disks are physically the same size as CD/DVD's. The pre-made AOD disks are manufactured using the same pressing process on the same pressing equipment as DVD's the only manufacturing change required is a new mastering unit and a new stamp production tool (cost under $20,000).
Pre-made Blu-ray disks require completely new manufacturing equipment which runs to the order of $400,000 per production line.
The only reason blu-ray has been so widely publicised is because they blu-ray consortium feel that unless they create a significant "mind share" before AOD hits the market, they will disapear betamax style.
AOD naturally exists in a re-recordable version too, capacity the same as Blu-ray disk costs lower (sub $7).
AOD recorders and players are basically done but the manufacturers don't want to "jump the gun" and release players that are not 100% compatible with the DVD Forum standard once its finnaly issued. Toshiba for example where demonstrating finished AOD recorders at CES 2002.
1) the PC BIOS!!! for how long should we tolerate the shitty 16-bit PC BIOSes ? I mean, in the days of PCI-X and 800MHz memory buses, the PC's BIOS is still 16-bit and operating systems need to perform wild tricks to boot.
Intel EFI, addresses this issue. Certianly from evalution IA-32 systems I've seen "pure" EFI systems should be able to post in under a second if the EFI built in boot manager is turned off.
2) the partioning scheme. Only 4 partitions!!!! this is an artifact from the days of the original PC.
Intel EFI also solves this issue. Effictively unlimited number of partitions are allowed on a EFI GPT (General Partition Table)
Then all documents produced inside MIT will become Microsoft DRM enabled. All the papers, tests, research and publications. Right?
Well no only the documents they choose to secure using palladium. "Internal" research for example they might decide as a organisational policy must be secured using palladium to prevent external export.
Whilst orgnisationally they may decide that publications will not be palladium secured to enable easy export.
Remeber Universities have two vested interests:
a) keep under progress research out of the public domain.
b) get published reports circulated widely to maximumise peer review.
Year 2050. MIT want out. Whatever reason they have; they need to get out: The cost of the system is to high or the system don't work according to the promised specification.
Actually the reason they have, don't matter. Maybe Penguin OS v69 has become The OS.It's irrellevant. They want out; and they want it now!
The orginal signing agent can be used to unsecure previously secured content. Said signing agent can also be used to migrate secure content across to a different signing agent.

AOD has been created by Toshiba and NEC.
