that should be put into the constitution, then we might be able to exile people like those who made up TC, and every other government control program that spy's on "random" people for there own "security"
Originally posted by 0pal_t0ad yes it is old, it's just that palladium/longhorn is due for release this year
and as they 90% of the worlds pc's are running windows and out that 90% how many would you say actually know about, let alone understand what tc is all about? got to be ATLEAST 50% even closer to 60 or 70%(that's home users obviously).
in many ways it's just like the matrix...except we aren't being bred
1) you have the matrix/TC, which in all fairness has it's good points, as Cipher said "Ignorance is bliss."
2) then you have the rebels(whatever they're called)/open-source trying to free the minds of the ignorant(for lack of a nicer word). but do they really need freeing? if all they do is download email/type a few note in Word then there isn't much of a problem, and if it can eliminate virii/trojans,spam and maybe even child porn then i'll welcome it w/ open arms.
it's a controversial issue for which there are more bad points than good, but in this case two wrongs do make a right. the REAL reason i'm complaining is 'cos i want to keep my mp3 collection.
great joe six pack just wants to type a few words so why is buying a pc which won't let him download music in a format that hes never herd of let alone what html stands for, what i'm trying to say is that this tech. was made for us because our 60 year old parents can't turn on a comp.
If intel and amd are only selling tc chips, someone else will start manufacturing and selling non-tc chips. If it is illegal in the US to sell or make a comp without tc, they will sell it outside the US.
I for one, would like to know how they propose to tell the difference between people who keep only .ogg/mp3 's of music which they own ( like me ), or people who have stolen them. If the record companies used this to get into my pc and deleted my 3gbs of legal ogg's I would be very very pissed off!
the us has got it's prioties all messed up, between spending 80 billion on a war they can't win, the DMCA and there old frarts a politicians, it's sad that thier the only contry with the capital to create a a hole new artecture of processors made for 2.5 precent of the population
yay! but so it will turn out that it will get a new name and a new spin. M$ will try and slip it past us again. Call me a cynic but when it comes to m$ you have to be.
yes, that news is old, a few days ago (maybe?, i have trouble telling time, but i do believe i remember remembering this, so that means its not made up in my head now), that M$ was now planing to put it in anyway, in some other shape/form (i forget the specifics, hmm, here, i found a link.. good thing to know my memory ain't dieing on me
