What would be an example of a privilege that you fear would be taken away from you with TCPA? It will boot any software that you want, and can provide a signed attestation of a hash of what you booted. Are you upset because you can't force the chip to lie about what you booted? Of course they could have designed the chip to allow you to do that, but then the functionality would be useless to everyone; a chip which could be made to lie about its measurements might as well not exist, right?

Hairdryer ploy used on speeders August 1 2002 Melbourne residents who used hairdryers like police radar guns to deter speedsters in their suburbs risked fights with motorists, Victoria Police said today. Assistant Commissioner for Traffic Ray Shuey said local police would be talking to eastern suburbs residents who took the law into their own hands by pointing hairdryers at speeding motorists. "It's not appropriate from our point of view to engage in that type of activity," he said. He said the residents were risking altercations with motorists and urged them to look to their own behaviour on the roads first. "Quite often we have the concept that we don't want people speeding in our side streets," Assistant Commissioner Shuey said. @media print {.nopr {display:none}} advertisement advertisement "And yet we're quite prepared to go into other people's side streets and zip around and disregard kids or the elderly or anybody walking in those locations. It's okay to speed everywhere else but not in my patch." Boroondara City councillor Judith Voce confirmed residents in her ward had been using their hairdryers against motorists. She said speeding was an endemic problem in the east and residents were angry about "rat-runners" - motorists avoiding Citylink tolls or leaving the main arterials looking for short cuts through the suburbs. "People did slow down (for the hairdryers)," Cr Voce said.

Hicks lawyer hints at appeal 01aug02 THE lawyer for Australian David Hicks has flagged an appeal against a decision denying the alleged al-Qaeda fighter a trial before a United States court. Stephen Kenny, who represents the Hicks family in Adelaide, today said he would continue to pursue the issue. "We will continue and we hope that the full court (of the US Federal Court) will provide a greater sense of justice in this case," he said. In an overnight ruling, US District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly found the US legal system had no jurisdiction over detainees, including Hicks, 26, held at a US military base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. DEATH to AMERIKA!

David has invited me on the show tonight... To find a local radio station in the U.S. that carries it (910AM in San Francisco, for instance), visit: Online Tonight with David Lawrence http://online-tonight.com The audio stream will be archived in Windows Media format and online about an hour after the show.Hour 1: I'll believe it when I hear it. Declan McCullagh of CNET's News.com, pictured here, claims to be available for the show. He apparently made it this time. Declan's beat is DC, politics and technology, and he loves to skewer people who are in positions of power over technologists, making laws and passing regulations about technology, who in general have no collective clue about what technology's station is in our lives. He tends to lean libertarian, he tends to take up the cause du jour of hackers and netizens, sometimes without thinking, and will always publish pros and cons as well as personal experiences. His recent escapades with a guy who sent him (as well as others) his resume is on the other side of the fence: his reception of a bulk spam from Costa Rica, which he forwarded to the abuse account at Yahoo (from whence it came) as well as the spammer himself, caused the spammer to then report him to a series of blacklists, who all shoot first and ask questions later. If at all. We talk about the power that these blacklists have and the space we've now occupied in the ongoing battle between spammers and legitimate online publishers. Also, I'm on CNET Radio just about every day around 9:45 am ET: http://www.politechbot.com/p-03655.html -Declan
