    Naw AC, this $hit is *Different*. It's not anything at all like the $hit you grew up with, it's a whole new paradigm!

    Why is the quality of malware better than the quality of some commercial SFW ware?

    SSh! They might start to card those too. Look what happened to Sudafed.

    Exactly. If you want to go to all that work, sure.

    That's the difference between Carding and Prohibition - with a 100% ban, people did exactly as you say. But Carding just gets the low-bar cases to show as a politician that You Did Something.

    Unfortunately I agree with the basic themes of your post, and it only remains in what precise detail it goes. We already have the alcohol license - it's called "Zero Tolerance" ID Carding.

    Problem is, looks to me like these stories are accelerating. Sometime soon I wanna' dig in and graph these stories because it's looking like some cross between Battleship, Monopoly, and Bingo.

    What about a game based password? I don't know enough about SuperUser Root stuff, but what if your password was a level of something?

    I'll take your question and give it a scary spin.

    Pretty soon we'll have technologies that exist in Windows that we *do not want* that don't exist in XP.

    The Trusted Computing ruckus is back. There's Intel Insider hardware DRM coming through the Sandy Bridge line of chips from Intel. Then for National Security we might wind up with a law that orders us to move to these nice crispy chips to keep certain certifications etc. Maybe if XP won't go away on its own, Intel can help with a kick.

    Really now, we need to start reading stories in pairs. Why, I think there was something about using technology to enforce good behavior...

    Hulu now has game-show ads that take 3 and 8 clicks to get rid of even by the shortcut. Hey, why not just write a college term paper to "deserve" to bypass that single ad impression?

    Why settle for a wimpy ol' cloud when you can have a ThunderStorm? Post-Web direct p2p data redundancy with patent pending SpiralTrack technology so you can get up to the nanosecond data auditing at the bit level.
