At the end of the day, the attorney's fees will be paid with the protection money they received from those who settled. The only ones winning with all of this are the lawyers, as usual.
These measures just bring no solutions. They only create a new black market for blank media. It's also a known fact that the vast majority of copyright infringement, at least on the movies front, come from bootlegs from Asia, which have nothing to do with blank media.
Theres nothing you can do if you use a public computer. What you can do is work hard, earn some money, buy a 400 bucks computer at Walmart, load a free OS in it, and hopefully be allowed to hook it to the college's network.
What happens when the first Vista worm comes around and:
a) Steals your legit registration number b) Overwrites it with a pirated/blacklisted number
If companies use software that require Aero, that's effectively a Denial of Service attack. What does Microsoft does in that case? Do you publish a tool to re-enter a serial number and re-issue serials? This is tricky bussiness they're getting into.
No checks and balances... just 'trust me, we're really doing this for your own good'...
What particularly stands out is the misinformation about the Fourth Amendment in the last question...
1) Let everybody know about problems and share solutions. Build big database. 2) Once the site is actually useful, switch to a subscription model. 3) Profit
Negotiations with CSIRO have come to a halt, and US troops are readying a full invas^H^H^H^H^H liberation attack on Australia. It has been discovered that the CSIRO technology could potentially assist enemies of the free world. The first stage of the attack, dubbed operation "Patent Freedom", could commence as soon as next week.
"triple core PPC chip" is in no way analogous to "triple core G4 or G5 chips."
Considering the development units are dual processor G5's, I guess you can safely say it's indeed a triple core G5-family in there. What's more, it's definately a newer generation G5, since each core has the PPC version of HyperThreading, plus it can be clocked at 3.2 GHz, something Apple doesn't offer yet.
The difference between Microsoft and Apple is that Microsoft actually licensed the technology and went away and designed the chips. They can have anybody with the manufacturing capability make the chips for them.
On the other hand, Apple relies on Motorola/IBM (I don't know whats the situation nowadays) for both design and manufacturing, and this XBox 360 development goes to show that it might be better to do your own thing in the long run.
I really wish people wouldn't go on like this. For starters, the biometric identifying information on your ID would most likely be a hash only, and to verify it you would be required to perform some task (look into retina scanner, place finger on fingerprint reader etc). RFID chips can perform basic encryption and authentication rather than just plain response, cutting down skimming.
You need biometrics, and that's just unavoidable. Reason being that there has to be a verifiable link between you and the [smartcard/RFID/etc] at the time of the transaction.
Encryption, if properly done, can deal with forgery only, but won't deal with cloning.
Any time you use your credit card today, information is logged about your activities. The same can be argued with almost every ID out there.
The whole point is to prevent forging/cloning, so everyone can be sure that it's really you.
On October 2, the 20 year-old college student was visited at his apartment in the small university town by a contingent of local police, civil air patrol and search and rescue personnel.
Just when he was starting to watch that Jenna Jameson flick he rented...

Did you also notice how the guy selling the copies of the book has long hair and a beard... Talk about stereotyping, uh?

Actually, you can use IPMI to power-off, power-on, reboot, reconfigure the BIOS, etc all done remotely. More info at: http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/
