be careful with metaphors... a brick is the metaphor because the data on the drive is gibberish, although still visible under the right procedures. the drive does not become inert, or totally inaccessable to probing, like the brick metaphor suggests, which leads to your is a 'sticker' a deterence point, which implicitely assumes that the object of a laptop thief is the data, not the resale value of the physical laptop.
name me one government agency that consists of one 'person'. what silliness.
shareprice appreciation is not always, or necessarily, correlated with profitability. look at the cable industry, or any other industry that requires a huge infrastructure build-out.
it will have little effect. it is a set of bsic tools for manipulating a TPM and exercising its basic functions, like storing a certificate, on a Linux machine. Wave's higher-level applications, such as device authentication, are not now focused on the small Linux market. Worry about something else.
YES, GUCCI, WHAT IS YOUR ADVISE TO THE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS? THEY AWAIT YOUR BRILLIANT ANALYSIS.
internet, the rear view mirror can be perversely comforting.
BOY, THAT WAS A BIT OBTUSE. ENHANCED SECURITY IS A CORNERSTONE OF DELL'S MOST RECENT MARKETING AGENDA, AND YOU WONDER IF M. DELL 'IS AWARE OF' WAVE AND TPM'S BEING A CENTRTAL PART OF THAT STRATEGIC FOCUS. IS THE CODE YOU WRITE AS LOGICAL AS YOUR POSTS???
EVEVERYBODY HAS TO BUY 100 OR SO TO GET THE PARTY STARTED. does anyone know what the shorties are doing?
mach 1 differs deending on altitude.... the speed of light differs, depending on the transmission medium.... in America, important elections are held in November.
we'll be in a group celebration in Vegas, or mass wake in Lee....
where did i dispute these assertions?
the vpro 'solution' and vpro technology are not a tautology. if you subtracted wave's software from the vpro 'solution', you would still have the essential elements of vro technology in the intel chipset. ergo, wave's software does not 'enable' vpro technology.
read ispro's dissection of how VPro works, to see what 'enables' what.
'work with' does not equal 'enable'..., not in my lexicon.
citation, please?
the nimrod was named greg...!
that's not quite true, bargs. wave is not required 'to enable' VPro. Wave's TPM software, because it's bundled, is inextricably associated with the Intel motherboards that contain the VPro hardware enhancements, but it does NOT 'enable' them. Sheldon, where are you?
asiseeit, you are familiar with my medical problems. Nontheless, I got a 54 real age and an 89 life expectancy. So, it looks like i will enjoy my Wave rewards after all!
When you are in the trenches, 'vision' is most often an inconvenient and uncomfortable attribute to have. For whatever indivual reasons, Wavoids had a constitional proclivity for the vision thing. I have a friend and one-time business partner who worked in IT at the Federal Reserve, and to whom I intoned the Wave mantra as far back as a decade ago. A few weeks ago, in a casual phone conversation, he volunteered out of the blue, "Oh yeah, you know, you were right about Wave." (My friend is a geek's geek... While LAN trouble-shooting one night in a DC office, I watched him recall from memory, an NIC card's hex address. If anyone should have been all over Wave ten years ago, it was he, not me! Anyway, Wavoids just have 'the vision thing'.)
You missed this discussion on the Board. We delved into the Wave/Trusted Computing implications in detail.
you missed the phrase 'long-term' in that quote. Read it again and then reflect on your question.
ATTABOY, WAVY!!! I READ ALL YOUR POSTS, NOW, I'M JUST QUIETLY WAITING FOR THE INEVITABLE... THE DETAILS DON'T MATTER.
i, and most reasonable people would argue that there are many industry 'standards' that have not been promulgated by formal standards-setting bodies and procedures. I guess you would deny that the convention of placing the brake pedal in a car on the left-most side of the driver-side floor, and the accelerator on the right-most, is not an industry 'standard'. form over substance, isn't it beautiful when grasping concepts.
what a quibble! lol
the quintessential example of a hardware standard that made billions of dollars for its adherent is the Intel x86 microprocessor architecture which bill gates used as the foundation of the microsoft software semi-monopoly. enough said!
that content-owning party would have to purchase the right to add to a secure partition from Seagate. like you rent an apartment space from the landlord. if you sign the lease and pay the re nt, the landlord gives you the keys, and you can occuppy the apartment, and store what you choose, subject to the lease, in the apartment.
the catalyst is the spreading concern about stolen or lost laptop data theft.
that's a good que stion. how about multi-media educational cd producers?
correction -- that post was intended for unclever.
every record company that forced you to replace vinyl lp's with compact disks, made money off of cd-rom's -- lots of money!
THE SEGATE DEDICATED SECURE PARTITIONS ARE LIKE VALUABLE REAL ESTATE -- THE CONTENT PROVIDER WITH THE MOST POPULAR, HIGEST REVENUE-GENERATING CONTENT WILL GET SAID REAL ESTATE. THAT PROVIDER MAY NOT BE THE ONE, OR ONES, YOU PREFER OR WANT TO DOWNLOAD. AS FOR THE USER SPACE ON THE DISK, MAYBE YOUR MODEL WOULD WORK.
the secure partitions are not accessible to the purchaser/owner of the drive, absent payment to have the secure partition unlocked or decrypted. for this to happen, some coin has to flow to the content provider that has stored content on the secure partition. so your answer is 'yes'.
seagate would 'sell' the secure partition(s) to any interested party (content source/owner). Wave would not necessarily be a part of that process. However, Wave could 'buy' or 'rent' a partition from Seagate, and then sell what Wave stores on it to others, for appropriate consideration just like any other content owner.
All new, current, D630's have Seagate FDE hard drives, whereas, prior ones did not... was this product designed (and produced) AFTER FDE's became available, and thus should have reflected that fact?
In practic e, wouldn't devices implementing this patent also have to comply with FCC cable card requirements? -- This seems to be skirting PUBLIC POLICY, and thus, risking possible patent invalidity?
I follow lots of companies that i don't offer gratuitous advice or opinions about. try it... you might like it!
this apologia begs the question. -- if yoe have moved on, why haven't you moved on???
i could be wrong, but i think some years back, a distinction was observed, but today, you are right, the distinction has been obliterated. that's what happens when 'marketing' jumps on a concept.
the form factor -- note book is slightly smaller than a laptop.
