How much more 'good' and spectaculare things would we have, if it wasn't for the Evil DragGoon the last 20 years?
And now with this big push by gates to totaly control our computers, intelectual property, software and thought of expression,.. I think many people and companies are just plain afraid to invest or let ideas out-of-the-bag, for fear that m$ and their henchman will swoop down to ruin it.
Linux is having serious problems, which seem to be mounting lately...and it should be VERY obvious as to the reasons and causes behind it..
However hope is NOWHERE near lost!!
gates may have alot of money and 'key' people behind him, and what.. 50,000 employees?
But we, 'the community', represent not only the Linux freaks, but quit a few on 'this-side' of the 'culture war' which is well under way around the whole earth.
We CAN make up for what we lack in money, with fortitude, wisdom, and above allll.. patience:)
-- The InterNet is a terrible things to waste.. Arrest Bill Gates and close down Microsoft immediately.
Second of all, this means that in order to access their movie content and so on, you'll have to have one of the "special" monitors, but the system will only work through Windows -- it's primarily a software solution which looks for the monitor feature, and fucks up the imagery if it doesn't find it. So, again, Linux remains unaffected.
It does affect linux when you need a special monitor which will require software to allow the screen to render correctly.
This software will be closed, patented, etc. so it won't be easy for the linux community to replicate it.
All new monitors are going to have this software/firmware involved, one way or another, if they havn't already.
After all the hardware companies been in bed with ms all these years.. which is the reason linux is still hard pressed to create drivers.
Make no mistake, ms is planning an all out war against the oss community, and this is just another volley.
If *WE* don't stop it now, keyboards and processors will be next, to the point we won't be able to even say anything (litteraly), unless their 'aproved' by monsters like gates.
-- The InterNet is a terrible thing to waste.. shut down ms & perform a citizens arrest on bill gates & company.
Actually from the microsoft white paper:
>PVP-UAB provides the last internal link in the Longhorn content protection chain, to ensure that the premium video content reliably makes it from the Longhorn Protected Environment to being rendered on the card without a copy of the content being stolen.
So it's not a monitor thing, and the article writer appears to be a dumbass.
Actually anyone who believes m$ 'white papers' is the dumbarse.

..Picture a world without Google, without eBay or Amazon or broadband, where few people have even heard of IPOs..
Google
I am tired of people STILL acting like Google is a good company. It is NOT. It holds the most websites/links, but that where its uniqueness ends.
Everytime I type in "quotes" to search, googles sez to take the quotes off. The result then is usually ten's of thousands of links, with the first several nothing but adds or totaly unrelated information (junk).
10 years ago there was the Yahoos, AltaVistas, which I feel were just as good (bad).
Amazon.com
A company who after alllll these years (nearly 10) still has NOT made an *overall* profit, and treats their workers to low wages and abusive harassment?
Broadband
We HAD broadband 'back-then' tooo. It was called ISDN and you were able to get it even out in the sticks usually! Besides you didn't NEED broadband back then because there weren't any bittorent programs because there was NO content being published!
IPO's?
HAA! Most people STILL don't know (or care) about them, unless they are the few who are either looosing tons of money on them, or government workers (prosecutors & judges) who make a living off the fraudulent activities of these 'Endruns' of the Nazdec!!
I'm sorry... give me the 'good-ole' daze..when things like Netscape where sooooo refreshing, in that they had the gaul to 'take-on' the Evil Dragoon' Ms (pronounced mizz), before even the big-bad-us-government did.
But not to fret..those days are comming back-- I can feel it in my WinBind!!:)
The speed I would think- could be anything up to the speed of light, limited by factors that normally bottleneck tcp.
if they say broadband, they mean broadband, which is anything faster than 56kB.
Even if it's slow like isdn, it will still ad to the luster of having access points everywhere, which can only be good.
I would like to take a guess and say it will compete with wimax, etc, but be slower because it will have to default to whomever has first usage rights on whatever particular Frequency it happens to be on when it gets *bumped*.
of course with spread spectrum and digital, along with the fact that this could conceivably have the WHOLE HF, down to.001 hz, we may be entering into an area where cheap or even free InterNet service is right around the corner.
The next big apps will not only be the ones which give *officials* and CEO's their wish list of projects, but ones that will help empower the individual so that even more great things like the SoftWare Telescope can be developed.:)
Why not JUST relax and have fun (think) like the hackers and script kids!!
Be like a KID AGAIN!!
TOOO much emphasis is being put on things that stop small attacks, while not preparing for something major like a total (or mostly total) melt down of the net (eg a terrorist event).
High crims by larger organizations and the government, are more of a threat to businesses and individuals, than the clowns we hear about all the time.
The obsession over remembering passwords which has been breed into us all, is more time consuming and frustrating, than any attacks yet.
After reading the first several comments, it became apparent that people can't even take the effort to RTFA!!
Where OH where does he claim to not use any firewalls?? Just the oposite, early in the article he clearly states that at least one is used (currently) with his little invention.
AHHHHND later on down he explains the reason for his experimenting.. and that is, that this obsession with firewalls and security in general, is more of a problem (threat, stagnation of implementing nu tec, etc) than the PUNKS out there trying to have fun.
Alternative InterNet access via shortwave (radio) over ip, WaveTop like programs (remember wavetop;) extreme wireless nets, extreme Dns (where the masses control things more than the hand full of scum that do now) & IP6 are just a few of the possible things people should look into which will help *secure* themselvs for the crappola the *real* bad guys have in store for us poor earthlinks:)
Ahhhhnd YOU keep calling people names and laffing, so the good-decent-innocent Muslims and all other good people, can slip up from behind you, and bring-you-some-old-fashion-JUSTICCCCCCE!!:]
For you to think anyone would listen to you when you tell then that: "they don't understand the Bible".. is quite idiotic itself.
Furthermore, I can only wonder when your hypocricy surfaces and you decide that it's okay for men to use violence to protect their family and country.:)
Oh, you can 'say' that you can. But first: noone (that means anybody that *is* a 'no-body', like you) cares. Everyone else couldn't care less what you think.
I am 'out-of-kindness' trying to remind you of this fact.
Your ignorance is 'proven' when you make statements against the 'current' religious organizations of the world (ie Christians & Muslims).
Your implications that *all* religions are bad, when in fact most 'so-called' Christians today (especially the likes of bush) are actually NOT Christians (but are a prime example of 'Anti-Christians') which is clearly defined in the New Testament.
Therefore by you 'knocking' this group, which is actually WORSE for religions (by being so evil and hypacritical), than even your sensless drivel about atheism, shows how REALLY dumb of a position you are taking!
As far as 'Muslim' fanatics or religious zealots, well, your probably another kike who thinks they are going to talk there way out of having a group of people (Muslims) from picking up the ball. The so-call Christians and eveyone else has droped it.
And now the Muslims (and all true-good people) are doing their best to break-up the jewish-mafia that has the world in a dangerous frenzy.
Jesus clearly several times not only quotes from the OLD Testament, but states specifically that: "..not one jot or tittle will be removed from these books until..".
EVERYONE quotes and uses the Bible to their advantage.. and I believe they should.
However some like you, think you are the only ones that *have-the-answer* and noone else is smart enought to read a Book, written so 4th graders can understand it.:)
Sooo keep justifying civilian killings with the *stray-bombing* and *collateral-damage* excuses, and the good-guys, who ever they are, will retaliat in kind with a vengance.
It's not going to stop, until everyone *like-you* are aprehended in one form or another... you murdering monster.
I wouldn't be running my mouth like that, knowing that alot people are pissed off at what the jewish-mafia is doing to this planet.
REMEMBER to NEVER_FORGET that *Hitler* almost won the first time around..and ALOT has been learned since then, on what it takes to *get-it-right* this next time around...
-- dammed kikes always making my fingers hurt from typing!!
After all chances are you will resourt to violence under the proper circumstances.
For every passage of the Bible someone quotes that claims God does not want people to use violence, there are 2 that show it is ok.
Me? My favorate one covers them all: "Everything is possible with God". (you get that.. EVERYTHING!!).
And oh yea, one other seldom used verse that the jewish-mafia doesn't like: "Anything you do is good, if you don't have guilt from its results..". Of course the verse that compliments it is: "If you do something that is ok by God, but YOU feel guilty.. then it IS a sin..".
I'm paraphrasing of course, but i'm sure you the get idea, and have heard similar verses before.
Regardless these action yesterday in London reek of jews-n-bush, inc... because Big-Al-Qaeda has absolutely NO interest in hurting people who are against the iraq invation (Brits).
However I just got word that a (jew leader, netanyahu) was suppose to be using the tube (rails) yesterday, and the jews *warned* him not to go there... VERRRRY suspicious..
actually, anything takes presidence over 'mans' law since The Law is simply a form of bondage that the handful of rich & powerful scum puts on the other 6.5 billion of us.
Big-Al-Queda did NOT do this.. it is NOT in their interests to bomb people who are against the war in iraq.
Fair use is one thing, stealing from the people who create and make the things you would enjoy is something else entirely...
Yea, but we're only stealling alittle..
I mean, you scumbags at the riaas have the time to put young kids in jail for downloading and listening to their favorite artists..sooo, we can't be doing tooo good a job of interfereing with your illegal businesses.
But I'll tell you what, arswhole,.. we'll try better from now on!!:)

Just do the right thing and make Linux a one 'size' fits all OS!
Force hardware vendors to 'HAVE TO' legally put it on every pc sold in the u.s.! (and abroad)
Continuealy promise the moon but to save money for the Ceo and stock holders, just deliver extremeley high-end 'vapor ware'!
Lead it by a nerdy looking-- charismatic rich bastard like Ross Perot!!
cuz u deserve it.
you and her will get along jusssssst fine, i'm sure.
truly a marriage made in hell :)
For obviouse reasons.
One: it's capitalism that gives rise to this abuse of people and the economies of the world.
Two: Capitalism & Communism BOTH are cut from the same cloth.
The proof can be seen in that they both tend to gravitate all of the wealth and power to just a handful of scum bags (like gates).

they're probably well on their way to incorporate this commie thinking into keyboards and processors.
Like I said above where I call for the closing down of Microsoft, bill gates is very good at being bad.
-- The InterNet is a terrible thing to waste, so let's have a citizens arrest of bill gates and company before it's tooo late.
Actually from the microsoft white paper: >PVP-UAB provides the last internal link in the Longhorn content protection chain, to ensure that the premium video content reliably makes it from the Longhorn Protected Environment to being rendered on the card without a copy of the content being stolen.

Before they finish off ruining the economies of the world with their fraudulant products and anti-consumer, pro-criminal actions.
This is just one more proof positive that bill gates, masters the art of doing 'bad things' very well, and 'good things' very poorly.
