I admit it, I was always a bit of a pervert^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcomputer geek. I grew up using a vibrator^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcommand line (DOS) before I'd even touched men^H^H^HWindows, knew how to edit my registry (oh my!!) and I was always the person everybody called when they were having problems with *cough* NT4 or Win98. I even had a dildo^H^H^H^H^HCD of Redhat 6 somewhere around-- obviously I knew how and where to insert it but I wasn't sure what to do with it after that. So I didn't touch it. Well, I got my bachelors degree in Fine Arts and worked as a contractor for a few years doing motion graphics, but was eventually led to get a part-time job as a dancer in a topless bar so that I could afford to pay the rent on the closet I was renting. I always took a certain night off so that I could go to my favorite deathrock dive bar. Anyway you wouldn't believe what happened then! This sultry, tall, dark, handsome stranger comes up to me and asked what I do for a living. I replied, "I'm a computer contractor." He said, "Oh me too!" And then he used a lot of really really dirty words like "Linux" and "BSD" and "compiler" and "distro" --I think he could tell I was slightly shocked because he stopped after a minute, at which point I said, "I think you're a different kind of computer contractor than I am." He whispered, "I'll teach you.. linux.. if you want to learn," and gave me his card.
At any rate, that was years ago now, and I'm a professional domme^H^H^H^H^H*nix programmer with several languages and OSs under my garter^H^H^H^H^H^Hbelt, so I feel confident in saying that that was the best pick-up line ever! I don't think I would have tried Linux/BSD before they entered the mainstream (as they are undeniably beginning to do) otherwise. And although I can't recall being assaulted with any hostile RTFMs along the way, I certainly did a lot of reading and studying on my own. Although this one time pretty early on I wanted some help with something and nobody in #slackware was answering questions, they were all talking about how hot nuns are... but that's a different story!
back in that fairytale land where nobody watches content without explicit permission and possibly the miracle of micropayments, i suppose Businesses wouldn't care about DRM-- but it seems like everyone is so terribly territorial over everything they might possibly be able to claim the credit for (or the IP of), so in light of *THAT* i think that non-device-dependent DRM is comparatively a good thing. Although this one does sound like it wouldn't be even remotely close to trivial to break, constant stream of keys along with the content? SIGH.
Although... on a separate point, and purely hypothetically... the people who would care enough to get all in a huff over the concept of DRM to start with are probably not the ones with the free time to sit around and watch TV on the internet *cough*cough* because we all know that geeks are all too busy coding, right? *looks innocent*
