* Anders Johansson (andjoh@cicada.linux-site.net) [020924 12:21]: -> ->I'm all for fighting the misuse of this technology that the RIAA and whatever ->else acronym we're talking about wants to implement, but I wonder if there ->aren't any valid uses of this technology. Yeah, we have boxes like these in our servers that are the same size as a CDROM by a company called nCipher. My point is that one should have the choice whether or not to use such a device. We do this for extra protection and because when your webservers are servicing 2000-3000 hits per second..you need something fast. I doubt the average home user needs this kind of thing. I think that will 2,3 and sooner or later 4Ghz CPU's..for the home user this isn't an issue. It's about choice. What they are talking about is requireing this...which would effect Linux because I'm sure someone *cough*Microsoft*cough* will patent it..and charge lots of money to be compliant. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Competing with Linux is like nailing jello to a tree." -
