    That's fucking retarded, seriously it is. without Trusted Computing customized and encrypted doesn't mean shit, the key has to be sent along with the encrypted block. without copyright law Trusted Computing wouldn't have legal support keeping it "uncrackable" so none of this shit will work.


    the way to do this is to make it an actual service not some steam clone with extra chromasomes. for example buying an online Key gives access to official company run hookup servers and company run game servers for match-type games

    paying a monthly fee gives you access to the official supported MMO server.

    posted earlier in the discussion it does not actually crash firefox. there is an issue when handling truele massive amounts of txt that firefox hangs until it is done. if you wait long enough firefox will finish what it is doing and continue so this couldn't be tweaked into remote execution on firefox, however it is still a pain in the ass to lose all your open firefox tabs/windows

    biological viruses would be even harder to make ithout phisical contact. sufficient analysis of RF transmissions could reveal enough details of our technology to write a virus. for xample someone copies their windows XP cd and sends the data across their home 802.11g network, some infinitesmally weak copy of windows XP just got beamed into space. a few gigabytes of executable binary should be enough for any species advanced enough to engineer FTL transportation to acurately emulate the x86 platform sufficiently to code for it. analysis of a copy of windows XP or Reh Hat Enterprise Linux would surely reveal enough vulnerabilities to code a cross platform worm.

    OTOH aside from recent human genome transmissions there aren't copies of earth cells being broadcast at the speed of light into space, at least not anything complete enough to "code" for to make a successful disease.

    no i wouldn't use a 486 for anything critical but not because of reliability. the bigger concern is running into a taks that needs more capacity than a 486, such as needing to SSH into N+1 macines where N is the number of SSH connecitons a 486 can handle. for predicatable and constant tasks like filling out forms an old 486 would be fine.

    they don't use linux as the base just because it is cheaper, with $70k the price of the OS is unlikely to be a major component in the price. linux is built to be modified and customized so the linux running on that server is specially tuned for the server and overall with low level functionality linux has much better performance especially for network intensive tasks.

    there is no question that the licensor is allowed to offer their own GPL'd code under any other license, or stop participating in GPL distribution of the code. any patches submitted under the GPL would keep the projuect GPL only IF the copyright is not transferred to the original project. many projects require copyright transfer to contribute one notable exception is the linux kernel itself, whicch will probably never be anything but GPL due to the massive tangle of licenses covering damned near the whole thing.
