I strongly agree with you. While the motivation that lead to the development of such processors stems probably from the desire to thwart software piracy, it will make implementation of the "Internet Driver License" that much easier.
I don't agree. Although some in D.C. and elsewhere might push for such measure they would never pass constitutional muster. And if they did there would be enough taking civil disobedient action or greater to thwart such measures. --Steve PGP mail preferred Fingerprint: FE 90 1A 95 9D EA 8D 61 81 2E CC A9 A4 4A FB A9 Key available on BAL server, http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Schear | tel: (702) 658-2654 CEO | fax: (702) 658-2673 First ECache Corporation | 7075 West Gowan Road | Suite 2148 | Las Vegas, NV 89129 | Internet: azur@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- I know not what instruments others may use, but as for me, give me Ecache or give me debt.
