It's disturbing to me how little this has been publicized, to the point that even comments on this article don't mention it. It's an unusually decent class action settlement too, with damages around $25/screen (and not in coupons). The filing deadline is tomorrow, so get to it quick!

I wasn't going for a strong reference to the movie quote. More the fact that credible literally means believable :)

That word, I don't think you know what it means. :-D (Yes, I get your point, just found that humorous and had to point it out)

But that fact is inconvenient for those that support this slow intrusion into control of our hardware, so they will conveniently neglect to mention it (or the fact that this concession meant to spur adoption will almost certainly disappear once secure boot is fully entrenched)

There's nothing I can see in the GPL (v3 is the one I looked at) that actually lets you pass along any offer, let alone an expired one.

I know you're making a joke about the person, but I've had many corruption issues with ReiserFS. Granted, this was in its earlier days, but after it had been declared stable for use. I gave up on it after the problems, so no idea if later versions improved.

About a year and a half ago, their signal was great around my house. Then around the time the AT&T merger was announced it became completely unreliable and has been since. They keep alternating between admitting the problem, saying it's been fixed (when it hasn't), and saying there's no problem at all. It's quite frustrating and as much as I love TMo it's going to be hard for me to stay with them when my contract is up unless they get their act together.

Umm, no, _Microsoft_ is demanding this. http://www.phonenews.com/microsoft-demanding-arm-oem-linux-windows-8-19713/

I had a lot of programs (none Java-based though) taking up an inordinate amount of CPU, and high system CPU usage. Couldn't figure out the cause, and a reboot fixed it. In retrospect, I think it was around midnight UTC.

Not very. And I don't have much hope given the hordes of people on the last article that honestly believed that Microsoft was being altruistic in this and that anyone questioning their motives was a conspiracy theorist/had a low IQ.

It's not expensive for them if they get OEMs to make them that way for them.

And you honestly don't think Microsoft (and Apple and Red Hat and Canonical for that matter) are trying to take computers in EXACTLY that same direction with app stores, Windows 8 apps, Unity, TPM, etc.? Mark my words, if we don't stop the movement in this direction, computers WILL be "just an appliance". The lack of foresight burns.

And there's nothing preventing them from extending this to other platforms like they're mandating it on ARM. You try to keep up.

You keep saying this. Do you not realize that development platforms exist that are independent from consumer platforms? Do you think I can run anything I want on a gaming console because after all otherwise game studios couldn't debug their work?

Yep, they're trying to make slow inroads by making it seem innocuous at first. "Oh look, Microsoft is protecting us by mandating we can switch the feature off". It's so blatantly obvious that they're only doing this to overcome initial resistance to the feature and gain acceptance, and will eventually flip-flop. I don't understand how so many presumably intelligent people fail to see that and are defending this horrible intrusion.
