Saris April 2, 2006 Share Saris Member April 2, 2006 Yeah, I hate when programs mess with my computer, trying to 'help' me, and end up breaking something. It's why I never use firewalls or anti-virus programs. Haven't bothered with Windows SP2 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC is basically a new system being developed to allow content servers to provably guarantee that any particular client is running certain software, and that their content can only be read by that software. i.e. No QuickTime, no Realplayer, no service.

TheGeek April 2, 2006 Share TheGeek Member April 2, 2006 when that does come out in full swing i will cry. i wonder if vista will have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saris April 3, 2006 Share Saris Member April 3, 2006 (edited) http://www.againsttcpa.com/what-is-tcpa.html There's the link. Pass a bill to make it illegal to manufacture products that aren't TC conform!? LOL!!! That's like saying, 'HEY! I just made this new car by these standards so that people can't drive over the speed limit! Anyone else who doesn't from now on, will be put in prison for objecting against me!' Who do these people think they are? Actually, that's a bad example, cause stopping people from speeding can be good. A bunch of greedy fat cats looking for more money is not. This looks like a big problem and people should click on that above link and read it carefully. The one thing I DON'T see happening, is that bill passing - which the whole thing wouldn't work if it didn't - who, in their right mind, would allow these companies to create a law just so they can get their paws on more money and butcher the technological age as we know it today? How is a bunch of Americans going to stop Sony(nvm, sony's on there...losers.....GOOGLE WILL SAVE US!!) from releasing non-standard machinery? /end pointless rant cause it will never happen but it still ticks me off that they try Edited April 3, 2006 by Saris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie April 3, 2006 Share mookie GC Alumni April 3, 2006 I just made this new car by these standards so that people can't drive over the speed limit! I think this has been done. IIRC some cars will cut fuel somewhere around 112mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you live? j/k, I wonder if this number will drop over the years based on legislation or car manufacturers covering their butts? hay most modern fords cut the fule at 100 and ez u back to 80 or so b4 it picks back up. needless to say the first time it happend to me i thought i broke the expadition sacerd the carp out a me thn i realized wut was goin on aw the good ole days 100mph?

There was no hijacking involved nor was politics involved. I do not see how capitalism has anything to do with this topic what so ever. That is my point.

Anonymo is correct, TC is nothing more than the result of capitalism running wild. It's a scheme developed by hardware and software companies to give themselves an edge when it comes time to give content providers what they already want (the ability to dissemminate information on the Internet without making it free). This has nothing to do with politics really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with the opinion that this is the result of capitalism however. The result of capitalism will be the consumer not buying the products and forcing the manufacturers to not use this technology. The result of capitalism will be alternatives that give the options that the consumer wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
