Microsoft Plans Security Chip for Windows Longhorn

[Fluba]

whoops, double post.. delete this one

   Well my point of view, if Mr Bill, do this, and make the new Windows impossible to copy...they´re open new doors to other´s systems and the people wil start looking to alternative Systems, again, and well...it´s just my point of view...

PC´s are good machines...only if they´re running Linux ;-)))

I actually decided to start saving money for a new Amiga when I first read about this.

All the more reason to buy that G4 board.  It may not be as fast as the new x86 hardware, but at least we'll still be able to COMPUTE, without being told what can and cannot live on OUR OWN DAMN computer. Get OS4, get YDL or SuSE PPC, and feel the love my friends.  :pint:  While the windows users might have fast gaming rigs, we'll still be listening to our mp3's (99% of mine are fair use) and putting whatever the hell we wan't on OUR machines.

Hey wayne, still thing PPC was a big mistake?   ;-)

Can you finally see the point I've been trying to get across now?

Sorry to dig up an OLD thread. I just got a laptop with a TPM chip.  It's supposed to be there to help use bitlocker on Vista enterprise.  Is this the chip I need to be avoiding?  It appears to be disabled in the BIOS. If I turn it on am I asking for problems?

If the TPM is off, just be happy :-)

Yet another reason to buy A1/OS4.0. At least Amiga's security measures WILL NOT include spyware like XP! XP already marries itself to the hardware. Change a ****ing modem or vieo card and you have to call M$ for permission.

Screw M$! And some of you think $50 is too much for a voucher. Ever seen the price of non-OEM XP? I mean store bought full version XP? Try the $300USD range.

You friggin idiot red camp OS4 troll!!

Oh wait, crap, that was me?? :oops:  :oops:

I began to read it, but I got lost.  I'll just keep the TPM off :-)

Yeah, it's the USA government behind it. 416 children, being held for ransom. Even the government is too cheap to PAY the lawyers that they want to use to keep the children they've kidnapped.

Oh and, are your rights being taken away? Do the _children_ decide whether their DNA is tested or not?

And of course the onus is on the MOTHERS who MUST submit to testing to sate the desires of the government.

No test, no refund (of child). Yes, USA government are hostage takers of their own people, yet they can't solve gun or drug crimes. You know, _really_ protecting people.

Democracy and freedom, live on in the USA territories.


(Remember, all of this costly affair was based on a hoax phone call.)

The reason why I wouldn't buy one of these newer computers with Digital Rights Management is because of something I read from "Why Molly Wood hates her Zune":

1. The erasing of my server-stored music

At my house, we keep all our MP3s stored on a Media Center PC, which we mount as a networked drive for adding music to portable devices. So, when I first got my Zune, I ripped three CDs using this laptop, then loaded up the MP3 server and painstakingly picked out some 2,000 songs over about a three-hour period. I didn't sync again for a couple of months, because, well, I had all the music, video, and photos I needed--and it actually has pretty impressive battery life, so I hadn't even bothered to plug it in to charge it.

Then, about two weeks ago, I was going on a trip. My Zune's battery had run out, so I plugged it in to charge it to take on the plane with me. Despite my settings in the Zune software not to sync all my music, video, pictures, and podcasts, the Zune started its sync dance.

When it was complete, it gave me this message:

10 items added

2,372 items removed

WHAT!!!???

Yep. The software, in its auto-sync wisdom, removed every single song from the device that was not stored locally on the computer. There was no prompt, there was no "I can't find this" warning like the iTunes Library will sometimes offer. It just decided, out of what I assume was some misguided antipiracy effort, to remove any songs that it couldn't find on my hard drive. What if I were syncing the machine with two different computers with two different music libraries, you ask? Too bad. Zune is in control.

And you know what? I don't like being told what to do. I don't like sitting on a wiped Zune two hours before I'm supposed to leave from the airport. I don't like software that ignores what I think is a pretty specific request for manual syncing, and I don't like device behaviors that assume I am stealing music.

Once you give these people control, they delete your files because that is called "Management", "Control" and "Communism".
