I will create a GPS simulator that lies about the true time, and have my DRM chip use that. This method isnt as secure as some companies would like, especially if such a device is mass produced.
Signed updates from timeservers would work fine, but will require: A) Changes to current timeservers, which may or may not be easily or quickly implemented B) That companies run their own timeservers, which if serving many users, will be somewhat expensive.
If they do charge for the DRM code, they will quickly get sued for anti-competitive behavior if they manage to make it industry standard. If they use legislation to do this, it will be struck down for violating our first amendment right to free speech.
I don't know about the legal situation in other countries, but I imagine something similar will happen.
I have to apply current to determine the resistances to interprate the signal. This will expose me, so here is what I will do:
1) Record all fluctuations passively. 2) At the very end, apply the current to get the information I need. 3) Use this to interpret the fluctuations recorded in step #1
They may cut off because I'm listening, but its too late. I already have hours of data. I only missed the last few minutes.
Not everyone has a mycompany.com to use for that. What do you recommend the rest of us use? mybox.internal.me.dyndns.org? I like my LAN's.tik tld just fine.
Many users will see 'accounting.internal' and think that it is their company's accounting department. They wont think to use traceroute to check, or anything similar.
If you send just one DVD per second, you are sending a total of 3600 DVDs per hour. Since each user doesnt have to have an hour long dvd on their computer to watch it with steaming, you can simultaniously serve 3600 people one hour long streaming DVD movies.
But they said several. Lets guess three. 10,800 people. Wikipedia says that the in the 2000 census, the US was reported to have 281,421,906 people. If everyone watched their own movie simultaniously, you would need 26,058 of these servers. Now, people need to eat, sleep, work, etc., and since families watch movies together...
We may have a while to go if everyone in the US decides to watch a movie simultaniously, but I think the bottleneck here will be something else, like disk access speed.
The Monroe Doctrine was not the demand to GET THE HELL OUT, that it is portrayed as here. The Monroe Doctrine was also an agreement on our part to keep out of Europe. It should not be used for comparison in this case, because it was not nearly as offensive.
Display of contextual text? This isnt practical. It may seem alright like this, but consider how much space that flag will take in a database as large as google's.
"There is a short window of opportunity in which action can be taken to thwart a suicidal terrorist hijacking or remedy other crisis situations on board an aircraft, and law enforcement needs to maximize its ability to respond to these potentially lethal situations,"
There is a short window of time for crisis situations NOT involving airplanes. Does that justify weakening due process for those situations?
It is great. Now they just have to hack one set of a few tens of bytes, and they have your unchangable password. I admit you could switch fingers, but that only gets you nine more passwords.
How many cameras see your fingernails each day? People will find a way of taking high enough resolution pictures to read the data off your thumbnail without you ever knowing. Forgive me if I decide to carry around my CD-RW (in its case) instead.
What if my sister likes to wear nail polish? Will she lose the data she stored on her thumb the previous day?

...Red Hat, the top seller of the open-source operating system...
Right. Top SELLER of FREE software.
Why I should care, again?
So how do I turn it off?
So encrypt the electronic copy in such a way that noone but the destination can access it, and sign it so the destination knows it is intact.
GPG. PGP. Write your own. I dont care, just do it.

Thats not what I meant. Glue a PS2 to USB adapter to one of the ports. This allows only PS2 to be plugged in.
Glue a PS2 -> USB converting attachment in place.

If they make it illegal to own, criminals wont stop using them because they are criminals.

My one play will be to image it to another media, Computer, another DVD, etc.
Could it be that shoplifters and cheaters are more likely to use P2P?
The site should make you GPG sign your session id and the date/time.

The NSA is out to get us all, but who would have thought they would use such an obvious cover name as the North Shore Agency?

Well, it could be definition 5b...
