It's all well and good that she reads slashdot, but I wish more readers would back their words up with action, and make the switch to open source programs.
Open standard mean's that there is inter-operability. not... "lookie! this is how you decode HBO and Skinemax!"
The only thing that has somewhat stemmed the cable TV piracy problems is that it's illegal for you to own a Digital Cable box. if you bought one off ebay then you bought stolen goods.
Otherwise the DCT 3000 and 5000 , the most standard of the cable digital boxes in america would have been cracked wide open for everyone. Just like the crappy Jerrold and older cable boxes that were analog with some really lame digital scrambling sending a code to turn on the descrambler. (IVSS... inverted video supressed sync with the sync wandering around a bit.)
It's a great idea, EXCEPT I am sure it's a way to enforce the broadcast flag. if they can control your TV set then they can control what you can and cant watch. suddenly your DVHS copy of the 2007 Superbowl only play's audio with a black screen that says "UNAUTHORIZED"

no thank you.
Why would author care if a musician's IP is being stolen? Oh, right. Slashdot will post any anti-RIAA rhetoric.
It also looks just like their current keyboards, without a wire.
