Oh do stop panicing, this will be cracked, and easily, if it has not already been done.
I am beginning to think companies put these copy protection things in the hardware for a variety of reasons:
1) They get free advertising with the protests. 2) They get free advertising when it is cracked. 3) They get free advertising when they chase the crackers. 4) They get free advertising when they chase the cracks' distributors.
And maybe it gives the content providers a warm fuzzy feeling.
I find this story hard to believe. Now if they said Gordon Brown (Chancellor of the Exchequer UK) had raised a new tax on (suicide) bomber jackets, that I could believe.
Big Corps only bother about security if a major shareholder gets upset by a security breach. The chances of a major shareholder getting wind of a security breach are minimal, unless it gets in the media.
Hence most security in Big Corps is to prevent media people getting notice of security breachs.
Would it not be possible for the browser to detect it is rendering badly or getting duff stuff from the server and say, "ho hum, I'm dealing with a M$ borganism, lets do that again but this time say I'm IE7"?
These pattern things are all well and good. Yet they only seem to crop up in user interfaces. When it comes to doing proper programming, i.e. solving the customer problem, there are more important considerations, such as seeing if the customer's problem fits in the four steps of a church-turing thesis, or if a coin is tossed somewhere along the line.
Wish some would keep there big mouths shut!

Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish some would keep there big mouths shut!
IT contractor types have been getting free drink and pr0n this way for years and years.
I've lost count of the number of hotels whose Amiga OS cable TV system has crashed requiring a reboot...

What I like about these new programming models such as Ruby, Ruby on Rails etc. etc. is how much like Lisp they are.
If you've never done a real programming course you've never been taught Lisp...
Yippee, less bluffers in the pool, more fish for those who can hunt.
Ruby on Rails is really sweet for that AJAX stuff.
Threadeds theory of coding states that a High Level Language is only for communicating what you intended for the computer to do to another programmer.
What the computer actually does although superficially adhering to what the programmer intended does at numerous points diverge.

Well, that'd be a pretty short contest.

Wow, just imagine making a beowulf cluster out of a school bag full of them babies.

HTH.
But when the pressure increased, the human teams made errors who^H^H^Hwhich would have cost lives in real situations.
Don't the editors proof read this stuff?
One wonders if they are using some software agent to pick stories, and one that doesn't have a particularly good memory either.

Identifying when baseball is exciting actually sounds like it could be useful.
Wonder if it could be used on cricket?
Anyone care to recommend a TV card/box to go with a Mac Mini.
I seem to remember modding mine so it wouldn't lose the time. Seem to remember they either didn't have a battery backed clock or it was faulty.
Kinda cute, yet when you leave the Earth you'll be a little stuck as it uses GPS to work out where it is.
The answer for the lazy politician is always to tax it.
Too many people smoke: tax it to discourage it.
Too many people drink: tax it to discourage it.
Hows about they tax the poor to discourage them from living in poverty.
Why do things just keep getting bigger? I liked it much better when it was nice and small and cute.
Would be too much aggro to do the job right.
Hey, it's the girlfriends house, couldn't they have "recovered" some pvc piping from the cellar?
"Washing machine will be working again soon hon, honest."
This looks like a camera that has been waterproofed and fitted in a frame. Where're the thrusters, the variable balance tanks, grippers, torpedoes.
Surely you announce vapourware to damage the competitions sales, not your own.
There again he is the worlds richest man, or maybe he just don't care.

I wonder if when this all pans out they make a finding that Sun & Microsoft put SCO up to all this nonsense.
Would not IBM etc. then be right to then sue Sun & Microsoft?
That would be quite an eye popping fall out.
I wonder how much of the fee goes on insurance, for the passengers and for the people on the ground.
Are you suggesting that one should go in a pair of tired sneakers?
