This is nothing to worry about. If we think logically, we will see that:
(1) Microsoft makes Trusted Computing stuff.
(2) Nothing Microsoft makes is secure.
therefore
(3) Trusted Computing will be easily hackable so that it can be replaced with another BIOS.
Now, Microsoft will probably and try to make this illegal, just like they have tried to make mod chips illegal. Last time I checked, though, it was perfectly legal to hack your own PC or other hardware.

Oh, and 512 GB of memory must be pretty cheap these days, huh?
Since when is posting an ad flyer online illegal? If it is, TechTV should get sued also for showing their "Real Deal" segment every Monday in which they compare Sunday ad flyers. My guess is that they are just going after the "little guys" hoping that they will just give in and not fight.
I would assume that the database of registered e-mail addresses will be purchased by spammers to cross-reference with their databases, since this is the way that the Do-Not-Call registry works.
However, if this really is how it works, the possibility for a someone outside the reach of the law to get a hold of the millions of e-mail addresses in the database is far too high, IMHO. Think about it...do you want a spammer to have access to almost ever e-mail address in America?
Of course, nobody is saying that this is how the list will work; it is just an educated guess based on the Do-Not-Call list.
I think it is okay simply because it is for two different types of things.
For example, there is the ROYAL vaccuum company, and also the ROYAL that makes calculators. The industries are not related, so they are OK.
Food sales and supercomputers are definately not connected, so I don't think that McDonalds feels any real threat from the use of that name. If anything, it just pays homage to their burger.
Sanford Wallace still runs a viral marketing website, PassThisOn.com. It changes users's home page by exploiting a, you guessed it, patchless security hole in Internet Explorer.

I have one word for people who want a legal, uncut version of all these movies:

They ship to the US and all you need is a region-free DVD player. *wink, wink*
Why is the 64-bit module an addon? This chip will not come out until at least this time next year, and AMD already has a 64-bit chip, which will be even more mature then it already is next year. I really think that not integrating 64-bit support is a bad move for Intel.
An addon module? And how many people actually bought those floating point coprocessors when they were available? Intel could make more money by charging more for the chip up front because it was 64-bit. Even to the average user who doesn't know the true advantages of a 64-bit chip, 64 sounds better than 32, just like 3 GHZ sounds better than 2.
That is what I meant to write. My bad:)
$350,000 out of the $15 million made on opening weekend is not a HUGE loss. Yes, it is a loss, but my point is that it is not directly affecting the actors, writers, costume designers, etc.
Remember, movie piracy doesn't just hurt actors, but also camera operators, key grips, makeup artists, and costumers.
I'm not sure that it hurts anyone but the movie companies. The movies that are pirated are being made, and therefore, the people who help to make them are still getting paid for their work.
The MPAA isn't going to say "we aren't going to make movies anymore because a few people pirate them." The majority of people are still going to go to the theater or buy the DVD if they want to see a movie. Nobody loses but the companies that make the movies. And even if, say, 50,000 people download a pirated movie instead of going to the theater, at $7 a ticket only $35,000 is lost, some of which goes to the theater. Movie pirating is not mainstream enough to be a major concern at the moment.

The new gift certificates have been around since 4.1, if I'm not mistaken.
First MacWorld, now LinuxWorld? Is NY really that bad of a place?
The only problem is that it is already linked in the original Slashdot posting. Therefore, there is no need for the link you posted. Sorry!

I had the same problem (I live in OH) and finally figured out it was a result of those kiosks that Dell is putting up in the shopping malls.
A recent thread about it on GeekVillage is at:

Isn't Quicksilver the model of an Apple G4? Stop confusing us!
Hmm...I wonder if my XBOX will start crashing whenever I try to play an online game... It does run a version of Win 2k, after all.
And the government thinks Windows is more secure than SuSE Linux? Riiight.
