ChasingBlueSky 0 #27 November 18, 2004 QuoteQuote Earlier in the year Hatch suggested the creation of spyware software that would hunt and destroy 'bad' computers. Pretty soon, if the industry and back-stabbers like Hatch have their way, it'll be impossible to own a computer or computer parts that aren't compliant with a computer-industry identification / authentication / encryption standard. Hardware, firmware, software, add-ons, plug-ins, patches, accessories, etc. won't work unless they comply. This of course means that alternative hardware (like Crusoe-based systems) or software (like Linux), lacking the industry's "tags" simply will not work. mh .
