When I started to use Linux, I was glad to see how my system is on my complete control. Many features, more freedom and trust about applications...
Yes, Linux is not perfect, but It's demonstrated that software can't be perfect.

Everything goes well until this moment: everyone can choose about it's software preferences (who choose M$ Windows, who choose GNU/Linux, who choose BSD...). But now...

By years the TCPA/Palladium is in developing state, and now it's starting to be sold to the folks... why we haven't stopped them? Why we are so lazy?

My needs are freedom of choice, my need is GNU/Linux... but probably our needs doesn't matter to IBM, Sun, Microsoft and co. Everything goes around money... uke:
I think that we (I mean all computer users) have the power to stop the software giants... how to concetrate it? How organize us, to stop this shit?

I'm working (and I will do) on software, but watching the develop of TCPA/Palladium, the DRM and the other bad thing that happens, I'm thinking to live alone on a mountain... there I will feel good, without any injustice of any big...

People don't do anything because they don't care (like cattle, they think it will fly over) or because they don't know (oh no, it the Linux geeks again with some conspiracy theory)...

Also, you might want to check this thread. It has been discussed here already.

As is my personal preference with contraversial threads, I would like to redirect all efforts to one thread and lock all others. Please refer any and all responses to the aforementioned "Trusted Computing" thread here:
