( though there is a group of people *cough*TRUSTEDCOMPUTINGGROUP*cough* that are working hard to close this loophole, but it doeen't affect the current hardware on the market.) > With all the cut-throat dealing > going on in that industry right now, I have no doubt that someone, > eventually, will throw in the towel and the courts are gonna get a good > workout over it. > The dot-BOMB bubble of the late 1990's/early 2000's was a great lesson on just why you don't want to put too much failth in companies. > -Larry > > "Andrew MacPherson" > wrote in message > news:memo.20061118133620.16760A@address_disguised. address_disguised... > > (zeez) wrote: > > > >> Any system that forces you to have to "talk" to a provider to > >> keep it running is a VERY BAD THING. > > > > In theory, yes.
