OT: You ain't the real trance...and of that I'm thankful
hmmm, cricket2. good point (and click). Thanks
CL, I'm joking around a bit. I'm sure a secure USB hub would be more than adequate...but a post would be wasted on my mouse...(gotta make sure my roller ball is trustworthy...)
I got that. That's pretty straightforward.
Why would my mouse need to be trusted? (My rat I can understand...he kllled my brother! -- http://us.imdb.com/Quotes?0023556 -- )
I am struggling to understand why input from my mouse would need to be secure (mine IS plugged into my keyboard, though)
HA. If I was chinese this post I am responding to would be a Lucky Grub!!
(888 is a very lucky number. As is, for reasons I do not entirely understand, 168)
CL, bttb suggested it as a good short, not Sprague.

What I and a few others were left with was "Dam I should be shorting pay pal!"
keV, what was the email, and what was the reply?
re: OT...turns out it was a delayed broadcast, and the game was yesterday...
well...
It was still a fun game to watch.
re: Paypal...

Do you have a Paypal account? If so, then you need to be aware that, once again, someone is trying to steal your password.
These scams are usually easy to spot because Paypal always logs you into your account using a secure page (https:// means secure). In this case, however, the con artist has registered a certificate for use on a secure connection. He has also disguised his web address to make it appear as if it led to Paypal's web site.
OT: I don't know if anyone else is watching, but this is a darn good game. (ManU v/s Club America)

darn.)
whatever it is PK, it doesn't work /EOM
Yes awk, he has quite a pedigree. And I think he's not presenting his arguments objectively.
cricket, he's a hack. Read the article. He is so far out of date on the stuff that is even close to the truth that he can't possibly be following the developments, yet has a "long and distinguished career of over 40 years in Information Technology." (http://www.pearcey.org.au/awards/index.html#medal-2002.html)
He says things like "An all-NGSCB and TCPA world is some time away, as the TCPA specification is still unofficial ..."

He's in a minority. Almost everyone I talk to think the security aspect is long overdue.
But he is part of a destructive vocal minority. Actually, probably sits at the same table as those that think the shuttle is used by the CIA to cause earthquakes.

New Zealand academic zealously opposes trusted computing...
Is there any doubt (per SKS' dinner conversation) why OEMs and others need to be mum about their trusted computing plans? If there is, check out this guy's RECENT assessment:

MY comment to this are fairly simple.
Hogwash.
From the linked article:
“In plain English”, says Caelli, “[these measures would] remove control of your PC from you and give it to content or application developers.” -- Hogwash. Control is still in the hands of the owner
TCPA is a computer industry body which promotes the introduction of standardised measures, software- and hardware-based, to prevent the abuse of copyright material on users’ PCs, PDAs and mobile phones. It is supported by vendors including Intel, IBM and HP. -- Hogwash To prevent the abuse of copyright...? From the TCG FAQ [Was TCG formed to specify Digital Rights Management technologies? -- No. The focus of TCG is on protecting user data and secrets (keys, passwords, certificates, etc.) from external software attack and theft. This greatly reduces the risk of identity and data theft. It is not TCG's intention to address DRM requirements. As a result, the specifications do not include provisions to prevent owner tampering.]
“Recovering sealed data after a machine crash is very complicated. It [would be] an optional procedure requiring contact with the TPM [trusted platform module] manufacturer.” So complicated is the potential process that “manufacturers may be reluctant to support it”. -- Hogwash This is one of the services Wave is going to offer with their TAN
...and so much more. First clue that this guy is an uninformed hack is that he's still calling it TCPA...
Just because I can...
The Omnikey product at Cartes...
and Wave's...
Which inspires confidence in you?
CL,
maybe now I'm going blind...
where does it reference 150 million?
No idea tsu, but it irritates me beyond imagination.
But it's not just Wave. SEC should have caught this also.
I receive documents from customers (and potential customers) that are riddled with typos, crap grammar and enough ambiguities to delay discussions of the REAL intent until the discussion to resolve confusions are complete.
I've even received a word document that still had all of the previous changes (the "Track Changes" feature was used) included, revealing some very inappropriate comments.
It's one thing to have that kind of un-professionalism in-house, but to expose it to the light of day...
Thanks Nelzoni (both of you)
Sheesh, why doesn't anybody in Wave check these things?!?!?1
If the proposed amendment is adopted, the first paragraph of Article Four of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows:
FOURTH. (1) The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is One Hundred Fifteen Million (135,000,000) shares divided into the following classes:
(a) One Hundred Million (120,000,000) shares of Class A Common Stock with a par value of one cent ($0.01) per share;
Need Clarity.
This is a Preliminary (Revised) Proxy Statement (PRER14A). There was a PRE14A released back in June.
Aren't we waiting for a Definitive Proxy Statement (DEF14A)?
Are we SURE that the SHM is on the 4th?
mig,
1) It's not an approval, per se, it's comments. I don't know if it's standard practice to get SEC comments on Proxy statements, but this time WAVE did. David Collins comment was because Wave needed "...shareholder approval for the dilution related to the financing, we need to have SEC review before we can schedule our meeting to get that approval."
2) Only the SEC knows why the delay (if it IS a delay...Wave may have underestimated the time required. That's happened before).
Snacks, there's an easy answer to your question...
I wonder why people always look for the worst in things
Because it's easy and requires no thought.
I was killing time one evening while my wife was out and surfed into an "all conspiracy, all the time" cluster of web sites.
Very compelling arguments were presented to explain how the jews were behind the 9-11 attacks, muslims behind the Oklahoma bombing, Illuminati in the ranks of the Federal gov't, Vatican support of the Nazi's, etc.
Compelling on the surface, but the slightest fraction of thought would allow a reader to pull the threads apart.

The guy is a riot...
Snacks, I don't know about next week, but there will have to be something in the 10-Q to fend off a revolt.
As for SKS's comment that there would be something later than a week and earlier than 6 months...
I certainly wouldn't pick the absolute shortest time frame in that spread. Given the vagaries of, well, everything these days, it's safer betting money on the six month time frame.
Maggie, it's like deja vu all over again...
Quarterly numbers need to be out in three weeks. Any pre-pay components of the NSM contract should be in there.
I am very curious about that. But, as they say, patience is a virtue...
Verisign and Wave, hand in hand (has there been ANY indication from ANYWHERE that this isn't still happening?)
http://www.verisign.com/corporate/news/2002/pr_20020327.html
"Wave is working with VeriSign to enable trusted digital transactions. Specifically, VeriSign integrates PKI services into Wave's EMBASSY trust system (ETS) product, which provides security from the client layer up, preventing security breaches at the lowest layer possible. With the ETS product, Wave moves the actual transaction and rights management to the end-user's PC or device. Combined with VeriSign's managed digital certificate technology, users will have an entirely trusted transaction using the Trust Assurance Network (TAN) that can be used by a variety of private and public sector industries."
This is a VERISIGN PR, btw, from a little over a year ago.
CL, please read this in it's entirety. (not just a quick scan)
http://www.verisign.com/corporate/news/2002/pr_20020327.html
Pay attention to
"Bringing together government representatives along with technology trust infrastructure experts, VeriSign's Phillip Hallam-Baker will be presenting alongside Lark Allen, Executive VP, Wave Systems, Corp., a member in the VeriSign Enterprise Partner Program."
and
"Wave is working with VeriSign to enable trusted digital transactions. Specifically, VeriSign integrates PKI services into Wave's EMBASSY trust system (ETS) product, which provides security from the client layer up, preventing security breaches at the lowest layer possible.

Combined with VeriSign's managed digital certificate technology, users will have an entirely trusted transaction using the Trust Assurance Network (TAN) that can be used by a variety of private and public sector industries."
This is not competition.
This is partnership.
CL, a quick question.
Who is going to provide the trusted authentication of clients? Specifically, which member of TCG is able to fdo this today?
cmf, I think the assumptions about SP buying was just that, assumptions, combined with a dash of wishful thinking.
I've always liked the agnostic approach myself...
actually that's reasonable. I thought for awhile they've had indexing problems.
Not that I plan on going back, though
OT: Great movie though...
I think it was the message he was bothered by, and I share (to a certain extent) some of his concerns...but by no means all of them. On balance, I see this as a very positive time in Wave's history.
could be. 'the others' could be a movie about ghosts with a six-sense-ish ending.
...or it could be box makers.
Can anyone that was at the dinner clarify?
tia
Buy it? Not sure. He's not talking about the average midlevel employee buying some additional stock, he is talking about (I believe) corporate buyback. Personally, I don't think they have the cash to do that. If there is significantly large news on the horizon, it's better to be safe than sorry, I guess.
I wasn't at the meeting. I am an extremely good judge of veracity when I can see the physical and hear the verbal cues. The written word can be very deceiving.
LHF, once again...
The first two sentences are totally negated by the last two sentences.
Nope.
The first two sentences are stating that the true functionality of TCG is not possible without the *it* that Wave brings to the table. The second two sentences claim that the others don't really understand that. I would differ with SKS on the last part, as I think a few DO understand (NSM, HP, INTEL) at least in a limited way.
