I do not see any reason why emulating a TPM chip should be any different than say, a CD Rom drive, in fact it should be a heckuvalot easier than emulating a PS1.
its better than that, they're saying DRM encourages piracy, which makes a funny kind of sense, since even if you buy DRM'd stuff, you then have to turn to the file sharing networks to get the non DRM stuff.
No, America was founded by "rebels". There's a huge difference. Those "rebels" did not use terror to achieve political aims. They used military force, by raising an army in the field, building our own seagoing attack vessels (pretty much was useless, read some history for some amusing / interesting tales), and enlisting the help of foreign nationals (the French).
Actually, under the 2000 terrorist act, those rebels would be defined as terrorists as would most governments afaics (especially the labour government here in the UK)
From the appeal decision at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/13_02_08beaumont.pdfTerrorism' is defined by section 1 of the 2000 Act as including the use of firearms or explosives that endangers life for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or
ideological cause.
I just have to say:
1. The email is most likely a spoof
2. It affects people I really couldn't care less about, windows users.
3. If Microsoft made Linux, 'yum install openoffice' would cost you $600.
I have to agree, Its a well known problem with all 'live services' or in my case data licences, you have an account on a 'by day' use, At least they are ensuring that users must agree to the policy change, rather than letting it pass them by. Is this some way related to that google stuff I read a few weeks back?
As I understand, Its a bit like the Women who kept her house after she defaulted, because the bank that brought the chapter 11 no longer owned the mortgage.
Same thing here, RIAA cant bring a lawsuit for copyright infringement for songs they don't own the copyright to, 'most probably' wont cut it in court.
I use Fedora 7 and an ATI Radeon X1600 Last months drivers finally worked (the previous ones would crash X when you tried to restart Xorg) If I get AIGLX support.
YEY! thank you,thank you,thank you,thank you.
As for the 'it should be open source' calls, I'll agree with the earlier comment about patents, but also, I really don't think it should be an issue, and I'm really quite unnerved by all the 'IT HAS TO BE GPL' people, using GPL is an individual choice for a software developer, just like using BSD is a choice, or keeping everything out of easy view is a choice. Why the H377 should you have any call on how someone else chooses to release software to run their hardware. That's like me banging on your door and demanding you let me drive your car, just because your neighbour gave me his keys.
Hmmm I was posting ~8 months ago that virus/trogen writers were working on programs to do this on a time bomb, so they finally got around to it? Imagine my surprise to find Microsoft claiming responsibility!
Actually, the easiest thing I can think of is to move the ip address's offshore, and use them as a proxy to the us servers. That way all they can log is one ip address.
Ive had the answer to this as my sig for ages: The only time you ever have 'nothing to hide' is when you also 'have nothing to lose' if you have something you dont want to lose, then you need to keep it from eyes that want to take it from you.
If you have nothing to lose then you have nothing to hide if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear
no, thats charges for the purchase.
they actually bought ATI for around $5.4 billion
and when you look at it like that, its not much.
ATI was obviously struggling (hence the sell out) their losses are now part of AMD's P&L account, whats unexpected here is quite how much the two losses have added up.
Second, AMD/ATI will not go under, period, if things start looking bad (and this isn't) they'll be bought out, we'll see huge job cuts (which I think we'll see in both AMD and intel, there's a tough few years ahead for both companies).
'does anyone need the extra speed'
YES!!!
I do a LOT of AI research, its not uncomman for my (nix box) to be using 100% of 2 CPUs 95% of 2GB ram for a week or more on end processing some hard problem and trying to create a low order solution to it.
But I am a very small minority, and I dont have thousands to spend on hardware
Actually, its slightly better than that. People learn, and this is a great way to teach them to ignore the supposed 'authorities' Its also a great excuse to start arming the thugs with automatic weapons and paying them a wage to police the streets for you. I think it used to be called Hitler youth, now we call them 'community support officers'.
wOOt!
July the 1st is coming, watch the innocent comply nicely, and the thugs and free thinkers start ripping up the streets.

fingerprints are a great idea... except so far experience have proved they just dont work. its not just sample/pitch etc, they are completely vulnerable to just lossy compression to the point that most digital fingerprints are lost simply by decrompressing a file and then recompressing it.
Its been a good few years since this was last contemplated with any real intention, and it was dropped for CD rootkits (ROFL).
Not only that, but how do they intend to actually add the fingerprints to files already in the wild
Actually, thats not the worlds smallest flying robot, and power isn't much of an issue. The 'flying hornet' concept is actually extremely old technology, (late 90's if I remember correctly) and focused around the work on nueral networks to simulate insect flight, BECAUSE insect wing flapping is so damn energy efficient.
The problem as I saw it was fragility, namely the fact that any minor impact caused them either to explode, or crash, at which point they could not resume flight.
The problem is nothing todo with weapons, its more about Isreal needing to stop being such %$%$£"%^" "$^"^£%& to their neighbours.(google video)
Ive posted this before, Ill post it again.

The only paper I have are in the form of books, and that is only when a digital version is not available: These books I read sync'd with a PDA: My parents have albums that they no longer can listen to, because they don't own a record player. >digtal downloads - ripping them is not to hard, and why dont they have a record player - because the hardware is prohibitively expensive?
in fact everything you've said are the PRIME reasons why the digital office has taken over. Even 'six year old map' - what would have happened if that 6 year old map neglected to mention that the area you were about to go through had been laid with mines just a few days before?
"reliable form of data storage is available" that is the point of datacenters - colocation, I mean, lets face it, paper is hardly a reliable form of data storage is it? I dont know many pieces of paper that are still recoverable after a direct hit from 100lbs of explosive - usb stick anyone?
All you point out is the fact paper currently remains the 'defacto' standard for historical data verification (and thats mainly in-person POS), which is a very different thing. - In actual fact the very reason it was a CHECK that was cancelled, highlights my point, I very much doubt you would have had similar issues if it had been done digitally, like, say, with a debit/CC card.

You shouldn't buy from those companies period. They do not want you to buy Linux, supporting it is to expensive.
A simple 'release windows under GPL' answer should suffice I think.
