I can't find anything online. This seems like virgin teritory... anyone want to start a website? I got a ner empty iDisk. Im going to check out other boards to see what the buzz is out there.

But ya, if anyone is interested in collecting info on TCPA and starting a good website on it, let me know. I mmay start collecting these good articles posted on the forum recently and start a sort of link directory... whatever.

Anyone else here with ideas, or suggestions as to how to go about making ourselves heard please post to this thread. If we are the fuck-Microsoft community, then surely we should be a bit pro-active.

I'd love to... well probably not but your 0.00001% chance of me joining will increase by 100% to 1000000%, if you explain to me what the heck TPCA is.

hmmm, tcpa controls what your computer does, it is part of the pallidium architure, it makes sure that "unarthourized" code will not run. since microsoft will be the gatekeeper, guess what, free software probably wont be able to run. and other programers will have to pay an arm and a leg just to get there code "autherized"

ps, my spelling sucks

I don't think that I can understand the world if everyone makes the Windows Pallidium choice...

Hell, I guess Microsoft is trying more and more to prevent you from copying their crap and make you pay more for their Mickey-Mouseware.

yeah, but microshat wount tell "users" about there real plans, why would they let mere mortals into the plan of dominateing everything. theyll just bullshit the public and tell them its for there "safety" and not mention any other of the bad effects. people need to be made aware of the true evil purpose of tcpa, not too many people get the fact of what tcpa really means, they just hear they don't have to worry about virus's and think its all good. not to mention 99 percent of these viruss are microsofts fault anyway. i have never heard of a macintosh virus, though i know they exist. the only *nix virus's are enabled by dumb sys-admins. windows virus's are gotten just by using it

I'm thinking of making the site a publicity and information Hub. Linking and archiving info on TCPA and Palladium and making it a big hit target on the web.

I wan't to pen articles and have contributions relating to the dangers of this new threat. Anyone got any suggestions for content?

The proverbial "what should I say?" type question  :D

psyjax, i'm in dude.

i have an empty iDisk also, plus i'm gonna get an angelfire or something shortly so if anyone wants to help set up a site, my ICQ is 21619407.  i would suggest that everyone who wants to get involved post their ICQ numbers on here and we can hold a meeting on there and discuss how best to get started...

the important thing first of all is to get organised... then we can get a site up and publicize it, lots of places will link us.

if we even get the most basic facts about palladium out to the general public, they will ditch it.  everyone wants mp3s, if nothing else!

i put a proposal together for the Free Software Foundation outlining some details that could be added to the GPL as a safeguard for open source software when palladium comes.  if anyone knows someone in the legal profession, that'd be helpful too.

so who's in???  message or email me!  we'll set up a meet as soon as there are some interested parties.

Cool.

Hehe... I haven't been on the board for a while so I havent seen these responses, but anyway.

I don't want to pull anything Militant, I just want to promote awareness among common user as to the threat this sort of thing poses for them. Get the word out that TCPA is potentialy the most dangerous thing to happen to technology and should be stoped.

We should get usesers to write M$ and other companies asking them not to move forward with this new agenda.

My proposal is to set up a site containing all the information concerning TCPA. Pose some inteligent arguments against it, them mirror that site across the web, to garner high visibility. This is what I am interested in.

What I want folks to do in this thread is start posting info, articles, essays, you got it. I'm going to start building the page tonight with the stuff I already have. I will upload it and submit it for review by you guys.

Then you, or anyone, can mirror it on their own site and Add to it as they wish. The point is to make the issue as visble as possible.

So, go ahead guys! You don't need me to start something   :D  

Anyway, start posting links and anything you think is usefull and I'll work it into the page.

WarCraft III is ariving at my doorstep in two days, so I better get cracking on a page ASAP   ;)  

P.s. Also, getting people to write to the Media as well as the Tech. Media about this concern is not a bad idea. If enugh people are interested the news will have to cover the story. Kinda like Amnisty International for computers or something.
