Well in consideration your argument is precise in relation to socalism vs. capitalism; a caveat remains that through this process we in the OS/Gnu community endeavour to show And prove that virtual idealism and accountability is the true future of development.
The OS community and those who contribute to it are simply the natural evolution of software (or works) in the arena of the marketplace. This allows for innovation and invention which are not limited to the scope of dedicated control of the product but rather the drive for sucess with the solutions that further the drive.
While I would be inclined to agree with you, there was an uber excellent post made on slashdot awhile back about rfid technology in which the poster outlined why the small data collection equates to quite a big deal.
I.E. You get into your car with GM On-star -(Data is collected), you get onto the highway using your Fastpass -(Data is collected, you stop at a store to grab a few things on the way to work, using your debt card -(Data is collected. You then go to work, using your ID badge for entry to the building -(Data is collected, etc...etc....
The danger is that all the smaller information ONCE collected paints a very clear profile of the person the data is being collected on. From my examples above I could say that John gets into his car each day around 8:30 pm, I determine that he speeds because he cleared Toll collection booth one in under 8 minutes, he buys the following items each day: The Boston Globe Newspaper, Wrigleys Winterfresh gum, a Slim Jim snack, and a Coke. Later he goes to work at ACME inc where he works as a fillintheblank.
For advertisers that information is worth the price of gold and for an intrusive government it's worth the price of your freedoms. Thats why people are concerned.
How about we use this as another tool of diplomacy? People to people, building things like networks and cross communications.
Lets just call this the current Etiquette battle.

Lets just call this backlash the result of Generation (insert tag) vs. Generation (insert tag)'s etiquette.
Museums, theatres, et al... are pretty much common sense at this point, heeded by the fact that most plays and movies you will attend have the host or a 2 minute segment explaining cell phone usage, being, NOT to use them. Everything is just a boil over to my first point. Social Etiquette.
Perhaps a GPL verison of Musical and/or artists rights needs to be created at some point?
After the *Happy Birthday song got a copynote...music creativy has gone gone down hill to the mimck factory. Lets not stifle the creative talent we have left out there.
*"Happy Birthday" will remain intact until at least 2030 (snopes).
It comes from users who want a simple plug-play-forget about it OS. The people who's desktops really matter are the people most ignorant of the technology that runs the desktop, it's like the mechanic syndrome.

No, what Verisign does understand is (sorry) the Microsoft model of monopoly, where a broad presence pillows the muffled cries of an infant industry. (I digress, I know the age of the net.)
What Verisign will learn is that the kid has already gone outside into the world and cannot be kept under thumb.
Also, does anyone remember, speak of the devil, Microsoft's viewpoint on this? They essentially do the same thing on the lower level with default browsers for their search engine. Any insight?
The most basic way to keep Google from reaching information in a "Web server", security experts said, is to set up a "digital gatekeeper in the form of an instruction sheet for the search-engine's crawler. That file, which is called "fembots.txt"
I don't think its abuse of the searching system. This is along the same grounds as a link to vendmachines.com on the right of the screen that you get when you submit a search for vending machines.

The danger is that the BBC is so large of a company and some feel that this move is not a sponsporship of events by their history division (for example) but rather to cull popular opinion to their spin of the story.
Yeah, I saw this as more of a PR spin for both VeriSign and the Federal Government.
I mean it's great and all that they have all that protection for the system/server but aren't all the other ones just sitting in Labs and Universities without the implied armed guards and jersey barriers?
If they secured the entire network I'd be pretty proud, but isn't the internet set up *just* with that kind of scenerio in mind?
Actually thats not such a bad idea worth considering. It is cuthroat enough to keep the RIAA in their corner and has enough PR embedded in it for the DRM/DMCA/RFID/RTFA crowd to jump on the bandwagon and take this to the top of the hill.
Good point, I was thinking that despite the leetist hatred of Microsoft the strenghing of their format, by their own and through another complete vendor is a nice (yes I said it) business move. Market driving forces > *.
But I completely see where you are coming from, the DRM ability and movement just got a huge push.
However (you had to see that coming) the old closed vs. open argument in relation to consumer abilty to utilze goods under anymaeans that they see fit I.E. non proprietary locking is going to come full circle as people hopefully will question the validity of DRM when an mp3 they got from a friend wont play on their new ipod system.
but yet hails the future of technology in the homeplace. Smart networked appliances working together in unison with a 'master-of-the-household' system are what dreamers, and architect-dreamers have been thinking of something to do with for years now, but only to be foiled by incompatabilty and privacy issues.
The only point of reference we have now in current age technology are the giant private corporation printers, and servers, that call back to a datacenter to report need of repair, need of future maintenance, or need of parts. But for the homestream....nothing.
It's about time that companies started to herald this (old) breaking technology.
It would be the very reason because rights in our society are allegory 'token' passes for basic human services, support, and compassion.
Do you mean to tell me that you would allow the right of a computing cluster to have limitless energy reserves and supplies, while some child doesn't have the right to grain in a warehouse? Would you allow some computing cluster or robot the right to produce or manifest copies and avatars of it self, yet on the same note disallow the right of humans to procreate? Let not forget the (transparent, I'm not trolling I swear:)) right to vote or master ones own destiny.
You can't give rights to manmade creations before we have first made the effort of ensuring that all of mankind has rights.
If you look at MS as more of a living entity than a commercial giant, one can see that they are starting to realize despite their push, coffers, and product reach worldwide, that they have to emulate other models and other entity's to maintain their hold and presence in the market place. The hit in China, the battle over embedded devices, etc... is all starting to add up. Or subtract from the bottom line when it comes to consumer confidence in their products.
And lets not forget what really started this entire thing:
Linux, the disruptive technology that was a small fish on the other side of the pond, that is now a big fish and taking more out of the food supply chain than MS first thought would ever be possible.
And that small fish is being fed by every enemy Microsoft pissed off, bought out, stifled, etc... and all while being tagged as the underdog. But an underdog with no defined budget just a framework and ideology that consistently delivers results.
Even nature reminds us of the first rule for survival: Evolve or die.
Excellent points, I certainly plan on picking a few of these up for a small cluster I've been planning on for years. But has been *just out of price range for me to carry out.
Considering that cost wise for the price of a few meager systems, I'm jumping the gun and both barrels with a 64 bit system and will be able to use the (huge) pocket different to plan out and phase in other components on my network.
Between this and customize kernel tweaking I've just stumbled into my own personal Shangri-La of networking.
He got shut down not because he could have done it or whether it would have worked or not, but because it reveals the basic anomaly that despite the highest levels of security and defense the lowest (budget) and innovate disruptive technology will continually defeat it. Just like a high level security lab that has the back door jammed open with a pencil because the night crew has to smoke outside.
Revealing the fragile state of most secure states in this day and age is not only an unwise idea, but a foolish one to broadcast to the world.
I can't read the article but in my ignorance I put forth that they can't afford to teach the class so they are going to teach everything that everyone knows (including the janitorial staffs filibuster on 3rd stall combustion theorems) in one week.
Then later market and sell audio segments and copies for cliff notes, and pocket PHD books.
For heavy mechanizations usage like the nasa mover or moving pipelines undersea in rough terrain I can see it. But I have to agree on 'the overkill / wait till we see what they do with it' parts.

The uproar from giving those same rights to animate/inanimate objects before humans opens the door to so many arguments it's not even funny.
Of course the preceeding statement is contradicted by the fact that seemingly every conglomerate seems to have rights....
