That 1st link is an excellent presentation on TCG.
Note:
"The process is not related to the boot of the platform."
Have you kept a timeline of major Wave-related events to help you with your thoughts. If so could you post it here. I would like to post a Wave Systems timeline on my website:
www.timelines.ws in the special subjects section. If not I will likely call on Wave IHub users to contribute and create one.
Thanks for GW post. I placed the whole text on my timeline site
for update to www.timelines.ws for Oct 3, 1789.
"If all goes according to plan, a new product the company (Phoenix) dubs Core System Software (CSS)will serve as the foundation of PC architecture."
If this comes to pass, how does Wave play?
Nicely put, very nicely put. I expect you will pass the tradition on.
When they loose their britches!
Excellent summary.
A must read.
Thankyou.
Long is opposed to short i.e. betting on shares rising rather than falling. There are tax benefits to holding for at least a year, but other than that there is no fixed term for how long a long holds his longs... and of course the corollary: there is no fixed term on how short a short holds her shorts...
If not Wave, who else would manage the life cycles of the TPMs
In general for the purposes of the timelines, I let AP, Reuters , the SF Chronicle and the Wall Street Journal make the major decisions for me and then I skim from the top based on whether the event will likely impact or be of interest in the future.
OT
The T of H web site is extremely valuable for anybody with any interest at all in history. The timelines in general allows for 3 perspectives. A number of specific subject timelines are also included:
1) today in history
2) by geographical location
3) by running universal time
I am considering adding a number of corporate timelines and Harcourt would be a good place to start. I have an I-Hub subject titled Timelines of History and further discussion on this should go there.
OT:
Can you list your sources for the interesting facts. I use this kind of stuff for my Timelines of History:
www.timelines.ws
Thanks
OT:
That's a great opening sequence for the new play:
"Guys and Dolls: Senior Citizens"
I must agree. its leading to carpal tunnel syndrome.
OT:
I bet Hillary talked Kobe out of his on the way down.
OT:
Double up on the cartoon shooter for your other side holster. Maybe you can even time a bang bang effect. Thanks for the great posts.
Excellent article.
See the line p.60 that says:
Microsoft encourages the formation of third party identity service providers to act as trusted intermediaries...
OT: Thanks.
No link for Lenslet. Try Google.
So for those of us ready to buy a new PC, what is the important question to ask? Is it sufficient to ask if the motherboard has a TPM chip?
Also: a few years from now:
2003 Oct 29, Lenslet, an Israeli start-up, has developed a processor that uses optics instead of silicon, enabling it to compute at the speed of light.
(Reuters, 10/29/03)
Am I correct in thinking that the suit does me no good unless I purchase a new PC with a TPM chip inside.

As Mr. Rogers might say:
How about some "do be" suggestions.
I do not understant.
Why do you need these numbers divided into each store every month?
May be in sympathy with news from DNAP. Orchid does seem to be the leader with law enforcement services that use DNA tech.
Volume and price up today. No news seen.
OT:
?Donde as faktor de inflacion?
OT: Confucius redux:
You missed one:
House with no toilet is uncanny!
OT:
Excellent info on the Secret Service. I took it all to integrate into my CIA&FBI special subject file, part of timelines of history project at www.timelines.ws
The US government reported ~10/1 (WSJ) that it will provide a $billion for law enforcement agencies to enhance their DNA technology. Should be good for Orchid.
OT:
2003 Oct 1, In China new rules took effect that eliminate a requirement for couples to get the permission of their employers before they tie the knot.
(AP, 10/1/03)
A priest, a rabbi, an Irishman, a horse, a parrot, and a Frenchman all walk into a bar. The
bartender looks up and says "what is this, some kind of joke?"
Nay says the parrot: a spot of brandy please; Eh! the Frenchman says: a glass of cabernet please; Ho, the Irishman says: a pint of Guiness please; Ai, the rabbi says: a cup of Manischevitz please; Hell, the priest says: where's the little boy's room; !%!% these ********, the horse brays: Get these ****** off my back!!!!
The volume in the last 10 minutes of trading went from some 800k to 1.4 mil with prices ranging from 2.95 to 2.72. What a roller coaster.
OT: I suspect this year's Okanagan vintage will have a nice smokey tinge.
OT: Excellent. Thanks a lot.
OT: Do you know what year the Autzen Stadium was built. I will add the info to my timelines of history web site: http://timelines.ws under the Oregon state section.
OT: Hey I thought medical posts were not allowed. LOL
OT: Hey I thought sports posts weer not allowed. LOL
OT This reflects the same kind of fundamentalism that drives the madness in the Middle East. Also these kind of posts do not belong on this HRCT board.
