Yep, know that, it's my specialty.

True.

That's the one I don't like.   A smartcard idea I maybe could live with, but
it would have to be both optional for the OS and machine, and portable between
machines.  Like a key basically, I carry it to whatever machine I happen to be
using it at the time, rather than it being tied to a specific piece of
hardware, and you should have the ability to own more than just one key.

   VT is virtualization.  LT is security.  Neither is what george likes to
call DRM.  What he tries to spin as something sinister is the smart card like
functionality (e.g. secure storage, hardware crypto) provided by a TPM chip.

  Yep, it looks like it's coming, probably not anything we can do about it
  either -- it's for the masses to decide about.

  For now, no DRM media stuff for me at all, I refuse to use it.  I don't do
  any media other than broadcast TV on my PC.  I'll probably get a new
  processor soon, with VT, dual or quad core, and yes, DRM, but that doesn't
  mean I have to allow the DRM part to make any difference to what I want to
  do.

  Eventually there will probably be some computer/OS company that will
emerge
  to satisfy our computing needs, but for entertainment, we're screwed until
  everyone else catches up and they revolt.
