    if they do that then they would get knocked for being anti compatitive (not that they already arn't) but they have to allow you to install certs.. They might make it a pain in the living ass (ever try to install one on windows mobile) but you can..

    and if they wanted to have fun with the putting the key right into the kern.. then they can shoot them selfs in the foot.. because if their key ever gets out.. then well all hell will break lose

    Or just sign it your self.. make your own root cert and install it then sign the driver - basicly putting your stamp of approval on it your self.. i am sure someone could sit down and in a few days have a nice little windows program that would let you do this with ease (for thoughs out there that don't know how to do it)

    i refuse to be extorted for the use of signing things.. other than the ssl cert for our main public website we sign everything our selves and install our own root cert..

    it isn't that damn hard

    if customization is what you want then look at FPGA's you know the ones that can be reprogramed.. you could just get some with diffrent cache amounts and put them in cards in your back plane and be set.. they are wonderful things except they suck at FPU.. other than that they are nice... other problem is people don't want to deal with backplane computing.. i never understood why.. it offers some of the best posiable expansion and upgradability... you will never see single chip customization like you are talking about for the genral public.. not until we can figure out a diffrent way of building chips..

    Or diffrent once based on who gives in to them..

    walmart has heavy handed tatics .. they can ruin companies by just placing an order and then canceling it.

    something most people don't know is that the way walmart does supplier contracts is they place the order - it is delivered - they only pay for the product once it go out the door. While the items are sitting on the shelf or in the back room walmart has no money in them.. like wise when someone returns some thing it goes back to the supplier and walmart gets a credit for it.. so if they order 1000000 widgets and just let them sit in a warehouse for 3 months and then just send them back the suplier paid to make and ship 1000000 widgets and then 3 months later got them handed back to them and never say a dime while the whole time they have all their money on the line.

    they break companies.. i have heard stories from people that work in their ware houses about how they will place orders and then when they arive hold them.. and wait then call the supplier back up and demand a reduction in the price or they will send them back because they don't feel it will sell well. at that point unless the supplier is huge they don't have much choice. The way walmart does their suppier contracts makes this all legeal - and they woln't use you if you don't accept the terms..

    true.. but if walmart looks at the studios and says... "we arn't going to sell it if you don't let it on iTunes" the studios are going to stop in their tracks and bow to walmart.. they are so big they can control what the studios sell...

    i have diven in the US and Europe.. US drivers are mainly distracted.. over seas people seem far more aware of their suroundings and on average seem better drivers. i have two cars one with an auto and the other with a manual.. it is sport shift so out of habbit i shift alot in the auto.. over seas most cars are manual in the US they are auto.. i feel that that has allowed us drivers to become way too easily distracted.... if they had to stop what they where doing every 1-2min to shift when driving to work (city) then i don't think they would do all the crap they do now in cars...

    although i do wish i lived in a no fault state.. then i would buy a shity truck and hit all the ricers that are watching movies on the dash and talking on phones while laying down int he car instead of driving..
