Start reading, call me when you are done.

you DO?? Well then use CEC to send every single function that XBMC supports.... Oh wait.... you cant.....

Stop with your class warfare there mister!

I did the shit in one hand trick, and got a congress full of assholes.

Yes they are, try looking at them before opening your mouth.You know absolutely nothing about any of the technology, why dont you go and actually look at them first.

You did it the poor mans way. Buy the real gear and it works just fine.

It doesn't matter as manufacturers ignore it. HDMI has a standard called CEC that they are supposed to follow. Well none do. 90% of all video equipment do not adhere to the CEC standard making it impossible to have full control of a SONY bluray player from a Panasonic TV even though they are supposed to.

The only way to do it is a central processor with lots of IO that does translations and control with scripting. That or get Congress to pass a law that all Consumer electronics must follow a specific protocol and command set or they can not be sold inside the USA.

And that will never happen.

I want 10% of all gain across the board no matter the source of income. Rock assholes like him will finally be paying their fair share. 25% of any income sent overseas or earned overseas to penalize trying to hide it in the cayman islands.

It's called a tax dodge. and anyone who knows taxes and finances knows it. Oracle is just too big to get caught at it, but a guy without billions will get slapped in Federal prison for trying to pull that stunt.

"They are parasites, parasites with control, but parasites."

This is the biggest truth out there. Couple this with the rules for profits and you have the financial mess that all companies generate.

There are a LOT of grey market shops that sell NEXUS tablets and other brand name items that are made right there.

"Marshall Rose, one of the creators of the SNMP protocol, has a beef with current home automation gadgets: it's very, very difficult to get them to talk to each other, and you often end up needing a pile of remote controls to operate them."

I have 1 remote to control every gadget in the house including sonos. It's called Crestron, but AMX can do it as well (The toy stuff called Control 4 can not)
He really needs to learn more about integration because there have been solutions out there for decades.

It was the only one ever in the wild and it did not spread very far because it was destructive.

And fit it in a 1mb payload.

Certainly not in the miniscule space that is left over in a Bios chip. A lot of the claims he makes are based on things that cant exist. You dont have a ton of space in the bios flash left over after the bios is loaded, and the virus cant completely replace the bios and work for any motherboard, Hell even the open source bios guys have problems writing a public bios that works on more than a very tiny handfull of motherboards.

So the virus needs to be written by an expert that knows how every single computer ever designed will work and it compensates for every single chipset in existence in every configuration..

The fact the article does not give out ANY details at all makes it highly fishy. Not even details on the computers them selves such as what bios, what chipset, what motherboard make and model, etc....
