The standard is there to prevent unauthorised data retrieval from the stream. E.g. encrypted video in, unencrypted video out perfect for dumping to a file. You can be sure that Microsoft is keeping the output protected so it doesn't infringe on the input video's protection at all.
Exactly. I love having a digital library where I can browse a list, click play and it plays instantly. Completely impossible in today's climate unless you possibly count waiting months to buy the DVDs then rip them all.
Plus you aren't supporting the artists/creators at all by buying CDs/DVDs. You are just lining Hollywood's pockets.
I highly doubt this is related as this thread has gotten surprisingly full of 'me toos' from ATI people.
Also it isn't a Xorg bug as in this configuration the cursor is actually hardware accelerated. With HW acceleration Xorg actually has nearly nothing to do with the cursor any more. It only specifies the cursor image once and the X,Y coordinates.
No I haven't. I was going for a obscure setup (3 monitors on one card, 2 on the other) and I wanted it running quickly (ooh shiny) so I just went with the binary driver. Probably should give the radeon driver a whirl when I get some time.
I've got 5 monitors connected to 2 ATI cards (Linux + Xinerama).
The most interesting artefact I've seen is some apps can corrupt the cursor so the pointer is a little bit of random memory contents. But only on some monitors. Move it to another monitor and it may come back, move it to the original monitor and it dies again.
There must be some really fun bugs in their drivers that rear their heads with massive setups.
Linux is a second class citizen with Secure Boot. Microsoft made it for Windows to specifically make it difficult to install anything else.
Two questions to demonstrate this: 1. How many Linux keys are installed by default on every motherboard? (Like the Windows keys are) 2. When was the last time you got a boot sector rootkit which is what Secure Boot is supposedly supposed to protect against.
Its funny. There are so many people like you who keep Windows around for games. I wonder what the total number of people like that is.
Because gaming isn't here yet on Linux in a big way, but a large force getting all those 'I dual boot for games' people gaming on Linux would swing the tide an awful lot. And perhaps Valve is just that large force.
Yeah but they wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot by giving out unbreakable encryption to the people they are trying to spy upon.
If they got a very secure algorithm, weakened it in a hard to detect way which makes it easier for the NSA and nobody else then that would be perfectly fine to both use for government documents and to give out to other nations.

It doesn't actually violate the standard.

Except that puts you in the dumbass social circle and get targeted ads for Honey Boo Boo and similar things.
Technically they stored captured data accidentally.
These guys aren't looking at transmitted data, just who is transmitting.
Will anything else remotely practical do any of the above? No? There is your answer.

And be personally liable for some of the damages.
Tip: thepiratebay.sx is one service which doesn't have those messages.
Works well for me in Australia.

I can hack your server just by sending a email? Cool!
Seriously though, please find a single case of that occurring with any major mail program.
How the hell are you running a remotely exploitable email server?
Since this OS is designed to only run one program there is nothing else to exploit.
I get the sense that there isn't much of a system to compromise with this since it is only running a single process.
The population of the US actually pretty broadly trusts their government.
Here is a box of tissues.

As in the significant features are hashed. With you know, a hashing function. Non-reversible.
Fingerprints for this purpose are usually hashed. I.e. you are not able to reverse it back to a picture of their fingerprint.
Can someone please mod this nut offtopic?
Fuck off

Unless it is the US and the target is a government organisation of course.
How many people has the US attempted to extradite who have never stepped foot in the US again?
Oh good since I'm in Australia I can hack the CIA with impunity! :D
*cough* alleged paedophiles technically.
Oh an a whole lot of completely legal, less seedy things like email.
A US court order might as well be toilet paper in France or anywhere else in the world. No US court has the authority to authorise that.
In fact many countries would take that as an act of war.
